Wenger has refused to spend on garbage players just to appease the fans. he waited, Ok had a couple of poor seasons, but he refused to spend money on players that would not be around for years to come. He has now a masive transfer kitty, plus new backers coming in. Benitez has just tried to fill holes with the likes of crouch, pennant, Kuty, Voronin, (free), bellamy. And Wenger still has a better balanced team without spending big.........

That's because he's something of a genius

Perhaps Wenger wasn't actually allowed to spend money....Everything is PoliticsComment

It really is admirable what Wenger has done at Highbury since he arrived. His team(s) play beautiful football and the players he buys have to fit that philosophy. He seems to look for footballing intelligence as well as ability - so that probably cuts his list of targets right down....

sorry mate, but Wenger has a shed load of duds as well, just his successes have been brilliantOriginally posted by IanTatt View Post
Also Rafa is going down the root with the kids as well now that we have a settled and stong squad.
Wenger has been at the arse twice as long and didnt have a big a job as Rafa did when he came in_____________________________________
Weak willed, Wank or do they have a masterplan?

£10M on Francis 'Jug Ears' Jeffers FFS?!
He's gone out & spent an absolute fortune by completely outbidding the opposition on the best 'kids' in the world... even if one or two of them make it then it'll be worth it - not really rocket science is it?!
Something that Rafa is trying to do at Anfield with signing Insua, Leiva etc
Still, I love the way his teams play - but lets see how they do against the top four & when the going gets tough in the winter...Last edited by Yozza; 28-09-07, 12:45 PM.What do you mean it could've been anyone? Name me one person who's got a grudge against penguins

So in essence Rafa should have just kept the money and stuck with Cisse, Baros, Smicer & Nunez :whatever:Originally posted by IanTatt View Post
Wenger hasnt needed to spend because he had a decent squad in place. Rafa has had to spend money on stop gaps, because our squad was ****e when Rafa took over and Rafa has had to get CL football every year in order to be able to finance his improvement
Anyway all this is irrelevant, if at the end of the season we are League champions and Arsenal arent who has the better value for money??Bob Paisley - "This club has been my life. I'd go out and sweep the street and be proud to do it for Liverpool if they asked me to."Comment

I'm with Dhavlos. There is so much smugness at Arsenal and among Arsenal fans these days it's sickening.
Of course Wenger is a fine manager but he had a good solid base to start with, has been there a decade or so and is virtually unsackable right now (so has the time to go two seasons or more without a trophy), spent loads of money on young players and bought some real sh*te and yet has still to win the Champions League. I wonder if his current team will avoid the fatal flaw of being tactically inflexible that has so afflicted his previous teams in Europe.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
