So I spoke to this one lad today at the arsenal members day, said he's been working there for 3/4 years and manages 'events' anyway what he informed me was interesting.

He said Suarez is 50/50 as Liverpool are being persons but that the buy is more of a 'please the fans' purchase.

He also told me that there is 'a hell of a lot going on behind the scenes, and the next few years are going to be great for arsenal, but don't be unhappy if its not this one'

What does that even mean?

It means that Wenger has messed it up again

If we try to go into the season with the squad as it is, paper thin, we'd be one single injury from crisis - and the first game we loose would see most of us baying for Wengers head on a spike. Responsability for spending has been publicly laid at this door, as has the fact there is a large reserve of cash available for reinforcing the squad.

Who knows what it means. You made it up. You tell us.

We could sign saurez we might not. either way transfers will be done which would be good as we are thin of players. I could have told you this you don't need to hear it from someone inside the club

Presuming it's true (big presumption) it means no signings till we have a new owner. By which point well be out of champs league and will have to start from scratch and well be stuck as a feeder club.

I honestly think anyone who works at Arsenal, right from the board to the grounds staff are all brainwashed by Wenger and his methods.

Walcott came out today and said something along the lines of. whoever the manager brings to the club will always be a top notch player.

We have been hearing for years that. next year, or the year after we will be able to compete with Europes Elite.

We have money to spend, if we can find a player who will add quality to the squad, we will buy.

I would love to, but I don't believe a word of it. Our squad has been full of mediocre players over the best part of ten years.

We should have been able to go pound for pound with Europes Elite the past 2 or 3 years at least (giving a bit of time to cope with the stadium move).

We are now supposedly armed with a vast amount of cash to buy big, yet again Wenger has stalled. It is coming to the start of the season and we haven't got a player of note in to get to know the squad, training sessions, or tactics.

There have been a lot of very good players we have missed out on the past year who would have definitely added quality to our squad, and within our wage and transfer budget

I agree with your mate, Liverpool are playing stubborn and wenger just wants that bit of class the fans are begging for, to shut them up and it means now arsenal are in the green and making a good bit of money each year, stadiums all paid off ect: that for the next few years we now are going to start building a team to challenge for everything, we have wenger tied to a new deal, all the british core tied down and if you have noticed we have offloaded about 20 deadwood players to start are rebuild but it ain't guna happen over 1 season, people need to remeber that, will we buy this year IMO yes for sure we have to but we ain't guna replace everyone this year it takes time, now we will take are time to scout young talent that defo will be good no more bentner, park ect: we have money to buy top talent now young or already established, hope that helps

Tooley- very odd response! I can categorically say I am not ITK or anything. Just heard something and thought I would share it also. Could be BS, but also seems just like a fan talking to a fan having an opinion?

Here's one and its a true story - the security guard working at the arsenal shop today is a Tottenham fan.

And the tall thespian worker at the 'kick the ball through the hole' blow upside a wolves fan.

I think it means nothing mate till we see something in real, more years of empty dreams that's what it means

I agree with RED99. It will only take one defeat and the fans will be turning on Wenger. There can be no excuse for not reinforcing this summer beacuse we simply can not compete with our current squad, either in numbers or talent. As it stands any injury to either Chesney of one of the centre backs leaves us in a real mess. Why oh why do we always leave it so late to buy. The comments made by Gazidis about the summer spending were all "empty promises". If we want top players, pay the asking price and be done with it.
