Guys
I have been an Arsenal supporter for 45 years and moved from the UK to Australia 3 years ago. I used to live in North London and went to Highbury and then the Emirates many times. I have visited this site for a while and read all the posts. Anyway, history over.
Let me state that I am as frustrated as anyone at what is happening to my beloved team at the moment. Yes we all want success, but most of all, we want a tram that fights, that represents Arsenal and that makes us proud.
What frustrates me is that we have the potential to be a great team. Everyone on this site can see we are 3-4 players short of that situation. We have been 3-4 players short for that past 4-5 years. We need a core - a poacher in the box, a solid midfielder, a central defender and a commanding goalkeeper. Need I say a spine?!
While we built the Emirates, I supported the Board and Manager and accepted that we had less funds for players and therefore in my opinion, the managerial skills of Wenger were unsurpassed. He built Arsenal.
However, now the stadium has been built, the funds available there are no excuses. We have bought Ozil and Sanchez. We have nearly but not quite. We need players of HIGH quality. Sanchez has shown that. So why does Arsenal still not realise that are a top team and continue to strengthen?
That is my frustration. I am tired of being 3-4 hours short. I am tired of losing to teams like Southampton. Tired of the excuses.
Do I blame Wenger? Do I blame the Board?
I blame the person who cannot see that the potential can be realised by investing. Success is stability financially but also success in winning.
Greeny is spot on with his comments.
I am losing faith in watching Arsenal.
