With new American owner Stan Kroenke, you would certainly expect new signings, no? Right.. I just remembered that Arsenal have Arsene Wenger as manager!
It’s been a case for quite a while, Wenger is still reluctant to let go of his cash for success, the question really is, why? They indeed have money to spend, they indeed have targets aplenty, why do they always seem to buy youngsters like Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey?
Yes, I agree, he signs players and makes them quality, but they still aren’t up to the top standard. Let me bring up a few names, Eboue, Song, Squilacci (he shouldn’t even be in this list but he was signed) and even Chamakh at times. True Chamakh came free, but isn’t it better to splash something like 20 million like Liverpool did to sign Suarez?
No, I personally don’t think they should do something crazy like bid 40 million pounds for Fernando Torres or David Villa, I mean they should instead buy someone like Pazzini or Cassano, as they are both quality finishers.
But let me tell you this, don’t be surprised when you see Arsene Wenger ‘claim’ that he didn’t need to sign anyone because all of his loaned out players are back or even the possibility that he will sign Southampton ‘superstar’ Oxlade-Chamberlain.

More mindless drivel from people who have absolutly no idea about running a football club,
All teams can be improved but not all teams play the same scinterlating brand of high octane football Arsenal play,Football that is the envy of many worldwide,football that puts 60,000+ on seats every game at the Emirates,Football that produces winning seasons after winning seasons, posters on here should be carefull what they wish for because for every team that goes out and buys success there is a liverpool.Leeds,Middlesboro,Charlton,Southhampton or Sheffield Wednesday all sides who until recently were successfull and apparently well established in the EPl.
Change and spending is more likely to bring failure than success.
