Spend the well-known £70m budget plus money made from sales on WORLD CLASS players.

Look how many players we have to get rid of this summer.

Mannone
Fabianski*
Sagna
Mertesacker
Squillaci*
Arshavin*
Gervinho
Santos
Park
Bendtner
Denilson
Djourou
Chamakh

* = out of contract this summer anyway.

What are Mertesacker and Sagna doing there?

For 3/4 of his time here, he's not been good enough, Mertesacker.

Sagna will leave anyway, out of contract in 2014, with one year left, he'll be sold for $$$

i agree with Sam on Metskr.. even after 2 years he has still not adjusted to the demands of Premier league.. may be our lack of defensive tactics and error prone partners may have added to his trouble.. but i dont think it will change any soon.. so we are not going to get the best out of him..

I really feel for people here who think Wenger will buy any World Class players. Look back at all the transfer threads and the players mentioned then look who we bring in.
The past five seasons the excitement of the transfer windows and always the same result in the market.

What you talking about we will sign WC players but not in our life time.

That awkward moment when you type "Trophyless" on Google and the result shows "Arsenal"

The whole page was about Arsenal, I was shocked lol.

Could be worse. Type in "football administration" and be prepared to truly be shocked

Sell Mertesacker? I really disagree with people who think Vermaelen is something awful but Mertesacker has been our best defender this year.

People just look for excuses to dislike Mertesacker

Everyone likes BFG but he has been awful lately.

Rooney goes through patches where he doesn't score for weeks. I doubt it ever crossed Fergie's mind to sell him

Arsene Wenger was not even in the agenda nor discussed during Arsenal's board meeting earlier held today. [Sky Sports]

I honestly dunno what to say about Wenger right now. I'm so on the fence right now i'm really not towards him leaving or staying. I also don't know how long i'd give him The thing is i just hate to see him go, i mean he really wants a trophy. If you think we're suffering coz we haven't won a trophy in 8 years, well you don't know what Wenger's going through i reckon. He wants it more than anyone else.

Anyways i have to contribute to this thread somehow so i'll just leave this gif here:

Poor analogy, mate

“We are not so far from Bayern,” said Wenger. “We need to be intelligent and strong in this period. We have to keep a guideline of what we have done until now.

“We must strengthen the team in the positions we feel where we are a bit weaker. But we have a basis of a team that is very strong, for me.

“It’s difficult to convince you today. We have to be clever. I believe in some areas of our team we can compete with anybody in the world as we are.

“If you analyse all the European and English teams, in some areas of our team we are very competitive. We speak about the Wilsheres, the Cazorlas, and we have a very strong technical basis - but we have to be more efficient.”

Q: You have received the full backing of the board, you've got money to spend, but in the past why do you always seem so reluctant to spend?

AW: "I'm not reluctant to do so. First of all, we only had money recently. Secondly, in England there is a way of thinking that every problem is sorted out just by spending money but that's not always the case. If it was like that, the same teams would win the Champions League every year. There are two or three clubs in Europe who are richer than everybody else and do not play in the Champions League. I believe that the problem today is not the money, it's to find the talent that strengthens your team. And, as well, I believe we have to be faithful to what this club is about, which is to give a chance to the young players we educate - that is vital - and therefore to bring in the players only who give us really a plus. If we find tomorrow a player of top, top, top quality, we will take him."

Q: So, Falcao costs £40m, on 5-year-contract, would you sign him?

AW: "We can do it. If we can afford it, we will not say no,

Wenger has some imaginary top players from the moon he has failed to persuade to come down and sign for us!! Wenger will never find a top player.
