    Fabregas, Nasri, Clichy all on their way out.

    *sigh*

    Clichy isn't that bad, I spose. He was turning **** anyway.

    And Fabregas, provided we get a lot of money for him, is inevitable.

    Nasri? I can actually understand why he doesn't want to stay...

    WHO GIVES A **** ABOUT THE CLUB ANYMORE?

    I can see Wilshere, Van Persie, and Ramsey. These are the only three players in the whole squad who actually care about Arsenal. Not a coincedence that they are also our three best players IMO.

    And when the above three leave, who will replace them? Arsenal, the board/wenger/whoever, WON'T SPEND ****.

    And the title of this post is what it will take for arsenal to succeed again.

    If this board only cares about cash, there is nothing more disastrous than not finishing in the top four. And, with a resurgent Liverpool and a surely top-four-established Man City, that is a huge possibility this season.

    United buy players.
    Chelsea get a new boss.
    City have tons of cash...
    Liverpool are doing brilliantly, and look to sign more players.
    Arsenal...?

    We WILL drop out of the top four if we don't sign players. It is now FACT.

    Arsenal need a STRIKER otherwise it will just be Van Persie as a good striker next season. How are we for central midfielders if Fabregas and Nasri leave? Wilshere, Ramsey, Song... uh... Diaby, Eastmond...Denilson.....rosicky? At the back, the brilliant Squillaci! No, the only good CB we have is the verminator, but Kos is quite good. And at LB, we'll have 2 youngsters next season without Clichy. New player needed there. ****.

    I'll actually be happy if we drop out of the top four, the board will HAVE to do something, and they might accidentally strengthen the squad in the process.

    They did it last time. In 08-09 the board were ****ting themselves because Aston Villa almost replaced Arsenal in the top four, so they got their ****ing wallets out and brought Arshavin, not the Arshavin we have today, but the brilliant Arshavin! He was as good as Messi (not an over-reaction) from January 2009 to the end of the season.

    It could happen again...

    I agree with your sentiments except liverpool. They're just making their squad bigger without the quality, and they finished the season with no pressure, but looked sh1te against us and spurs. My opinion, we'll see what happens so chill out pool fans.

    But 4th/5th it doesn't matter because we wont be winning anything. With the board ducking behind wenger, our best players have had enough, the poor players are staying, after realising no-one wants them, especially on their wages.

    To top it off, we'll waiting till august to sign to save some cash. Very much seems we need a strong figure at arsenal at a board level and on the pitch. Gazardis is wenger's choice, is he reflecting the meek nature of wengers choice of players. We're been charged as a big club in terms of prices but behaving like a small club. Do they seriously think they can take our money and invest very little in the team. Wenger and the board are really pushing their luck here.

    Same procedure as every year...

    For the past couple of years you had this so called experts predicting us to fall out of the Top 4 and be replaced by Tottenham, Aston Villa, City, Liverpool etc.

    Heard this before from you guys, it was bad when Henry left, but you finished higher the year after he left. Wenger is the king off investing money well and moving players on at the best time.

    God you are so negative, i know its annoying at the moment but at least wait until mid-July before complaining at the lack of signings. I still think we are better than liverpool so no need to panic about dropping out of the top 4 yet.

    Nope I meant the OP. Are you asking me how things are or is that some Scottish slang I haven't heard of?

    Em well did ever have an experience where you were 17-18 years old and still fairly new to drinking? and in your mind the best way to go about drinking was to drink as much as possible in as little time, well thats what drinking in scotland is like all the time regardless of age, there are no half measures up here, everyone is dedicated to getting blitzed! Good laugh though

    It's a distinct possibility that we will drop out of the top 4 next season.

    Man U and Chelsk are certs and Man Citeh and Loserpool are set fair, so we're looking at 5th at best, without Cesc and Nasri and no decent replacements i would have doubts we could finish in the top 6, as to winning a cup no chance.

    At what point does Wenger become a liability.

    In what way are man city and liverpool set to finish in the top 4? Liverpool haven't invested in the right players to make them better than us and we are definitely able to finish past man city. We may be bad at winning trophies but we are very good at finishing in the top 4.

    Well Citeh finished above us last season and are buying new players. If Liverpool had not had such a poor start to last season they would probably have caught us too. They will be stronger next season.

    We on the other hand are selling our best players, have no real prospect of replacing them and have a manager and Chief exec who don't seem to have a clue.
