fred when i spoke to my cousin who just like u supports arsenal he told me that the board were not spending much cos apparently they have a debt to pay up (emirates stadium). he does agree though that weneger needed to captalize on transfer money considering teams are hunting yr players one after the other.
Yes we do have a debt to pay, but we are also the second richest team in terms of profit last year, so i'm sure the funds could have been provided.
so in a way i agree with u, some of the blame falls on weneger not for any of his tactical choices ( apart from the spurs game) he makes but for his stubborn mentality that he can win everything with youngsters. i think vela should be getting his share of play right now he is a really good player. the likes of diaby, hoyte and song are not arsenal squad players in my opinion.
Vela should have got more playing time when both Van Persie and Adebayor were out. He definitely has looked a promising prospect whenever given the chance.
as for Bentdner i think he is not as bad as u make him out to be fred lets not forget he has'nt been playing much recently. i think this arsenal team is just unlucky u have two key players sidelined for ages now. eduardo and rosicky are really being missed now.
Believe me he is as terrible as i make him out to be. Most if not all Arsenal fans will agree that he has the touch of a rapist, and the grace of a tractor. His off the ball movement is non existant. We never create chances when he's our main striker, because he doesnt know how to move off the ball.
He is really the worst striker to play under Arsene along with Francis Jeffers imo.
