Who is suggesting that Arsenal won't buy? Its not like Arsenal don't have money. Gazidis has said numerous times that Arsenal can buy whoever they want. Its Wenger who doesn't because it keeps him comfortable. Frankly latest reports suggest Arsenal have the second highest spending power in the world behind City.

At least most of the Arsenal fanbase know what is holding the club back at this point. Man Utd fans seem to be so wedded to Mourinho that they can't see the wood from the trees. Mourinho spending has been just as crazy if not greater than City when you also include huge wages. But he is only 3 points ahead of the chasing back and a full 12 points Man City.

This is why Arsenal are actually further ahead than you think. Leicester City exploded the myth of spending and Mourinho.

City have spent more than United. The most if you include the last four season. United fans aren't entirely happy with Jose, but you guys wouldn't seem to know that.

And your club has more problems than just Wenger. If you think he's the only problem, then you are naive. You need to spend a lot. Probably to become title challengers again, you'd have to outspend not only United, but City as well. You have to also start paying players more.

Look at Ozil. He's not signed a contract. United, Barca, PSG are sniffing around. They could easily give him more than Arsenal if they want him.

And Leicester were a one off. They happen. They are an anomaly rather than the norm. If they exploded the myth of spending and Mourinho, then they didn't do a good job. Pep had to spend. He's spent 50-60m on FB each. If anything, he's shown that with money spent well, you can buy yourself to the top. If Mourinho is a money Manager, so is Pep and Arsenal are not going to win the league by just replacing the Manager and not spending like City and United. Even Klopp has had to go back on his own words and start spending silly amounts.

And this is why you are deluded in thinking you are further ahead than you think. If Wenger was the only issue, contracts, transfer negotiations, etc wouldn't be an issue.
