Ok, where to start with this...
Line 1 - there could be a ton of different reasons we didn't get a striker. The most likely being that a striker of the quality we are after wasn't available. January is notoriously difficult for getting the deals you want done. And how the hell would you know how long it takes to get deals done and what goes on behind the scenes?
Line 2 - again your just deciding you know what goes on behind the scenes. We have no idea what the reason is for us not getting signings in.
Line 3 - given that wenger went in for strikers in the summer it would suggest he knows he needs another striker which kind of makes your point nonsense. He is obviously still interested in competing and his judgement is clearly not gone, the flamini and ozil signings plus the faith shown in Ramsey are a few recent examples of wengers judgement still being of top quality.
Line 4 - what a load of bollocks. So wenger didn't sign a striker so now he isn't a top manager anymore, forget his entire career, he hasn't signed a striker so he is done at the top, we may as we'll throw him in a skip...
Honestly some people go so over the top lol, it's almost comical.
This is just rose-tinted blind faith.
Wenger has a solid history of bulking at the chance to strengthen in January.
-Remember Arshavin playing up front as our loan striker for 5 matches??
-Remember when Eduardo got injured and we had to reply on a certain Danishman. Causing our title bid and Champions league run to come crashing to a halt?
His reasoning is that players are not available for
reasonable prices at this time of year and he is right. Prices ARE inflated.
But how much is a Premierleague title worth?
We have more than enough funds to land a quality addition to our strike force. January is not ideal but then it should have been done in the Summer.
Indeed, according to a report on Arsenalâs website, the club have £120.6million worth in unspent money â and that doesnât even include the clubâs safety net money of £22million which is used to cover any unforeseen debts.
The extra cash came from increased sponsorship money, including a renewal of their Emirates kit sponsorship, while a number of other partners have also joined the team.
Bayern, Athletico, Barca, Real, City, PSG, Dortmund, Liverpool etc.. don't seem to have a problem stregthening when they have an OBVIOUS whole in their squads.
Somewhow.. despite the regularity, whenever it happens at Arsenal..it is NEVER the mangers fault.
