I’m resisting the urge to name them Team Dead Donki…Oops…
And while Wenger will be sending his team of young apprentices onto the high street to sell useless crap to the general public, step in Alan Sugar, the more important potential losses could slip under the radar.
Question marks hang over a number of first-team regulars who are more than capable of ending this repeated barrage of endless monotony from the media. This repeated barrage of endless monotony from the media. This repeated barrage of endless monotony from the media. This repeated barrage of endless monotony from the media by winning a major trophy.
It surely would be a massive oversight if the likes of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas were to leave alongside Team Dead Donki. Replacing ordinary players is a task Wenger evidently excels at. The cycle of player registrations at Arsenal’s infamous, ‘you’re here because I can’t be asked with the defensive side of beautiful football’ position reads like a who’s who of who the hell are you kidding?
From Igor Stepanovs to Pascal Cygan and Mikael Silvestre to Sebastien Squillaci, the turnover is as incessant as it is vexatious. Finding someone capable of superseding a first-team regular, however, has proven to be a little more troublesome over the years. As Monseur Stubbornos Greatos patronisingly reminded us after our draw at Craven Cottage, we will not be spending £50 million on a player. Not that I’m suggesting we need to. Bacary Sagna was a snip at £7 million. Eduardo was just £500k more, and I think we can all agree, was remarkable until the ill-fated trip to St. Andrews (no more trips to that place anymore! hahaha!).
There is no denying that the squad needs strengthening, and it will probably need a lot more after half our squad and probably one or two first-team regulars leave.
So to think that we could be in a better position in early August without spending large sums of money is a chastely chimera that nobody could possibly envisage, with the exception of one…

Wengers priority is to make good business dealing in the transfer window. Bargains, investments, sell high /buy low principle will be the driving force.He may have more money to spend but the mindset will be the same. Eventually the safety and security of the french league will come calling and we will pick up a few lightweights, and maybe a few bargains here and there.I hope i am wrong, but the signs are there already…the samba negotiations will drag on…and we probably will get him after wenger will dig his heels in for a what he perceives is a good price. The problem with this type of reputation for hard bargaining is that it doesnt lead to good business as there are other managers outbidding you anyway. Its an auction at times and to be successful you have to have money of course and the balls to get your man. Wenger has proved for many years that he isnt going to be taken advantage of in the transfer window, so he can now stop this game and start to act big in the transfer window and buy the quality players that this BIG club deserves.More mediocre signings and i am afraid 4th place next season will be an achievement.
To flog: to urge horse on with whip / to waste energy on something unalterable.
I agree with your comments completely BUT not your misuse of the English language.
flog
1. to beat with a whip, stick, etc., esp. as punishment.
2. Slang.
a. to sell, esp. aggressively or vigorously.
b. to promote; publicize.
I guess you can agree with it all now…
