    That's not how the fans whose opinions I see see it- there's a lot of complaining that post Rice transfer that the club are leaving Arteta short in several key areas and believe it or not are 'happy to settle' for what they have (eg top 4 outside chance of title) rather than going the extra...

    Arsenal absolutely do want a CF and have been targetting Sesko previously and it is a source of frustration for their fans that they have not just 'paid the money'

    Arsenal fans have been complaining about the shape of their squad and the lack of strengthening in certain areas and their DoF has recently left to join Forest

    If you think it's realistic for us or anyone to go to Saudi and to prise away the jewel in their crown then you are living in cloud cuckoo land mate.

    Isak from Saudi Sportswashing Machine or before he went to Saudi Sportswashing Machine? Assuming the latter then those sorts of transfers are well within our capabilities and actually fall in line with the type of transfers we've been making the last few seasons

    I can understand scepticism - we are afterall talking about something that we have not actually done before tbf so I get that, my position is simply that we have never had all our ducks in a row on the pitch WITH the finances in place in order to spend on those sorts of players or do whatever it...

    What would you class as showing ambition this summer with CL football secured?

    I don't think he would have, it was a year or two later that it looked like he wanted to do that. That's when he spoke of the rebuild. Lets be real though our transfer department at that time would not have come up with the goods to improve the team anyway.

    Do you think Poch wanted to sell Eriksen or any other furst team player in 2016 the summer going in to our final year at WHL?

    Honestly, we were building a fudging stadium during the Poch years and moving towards it during Redknapps time, it is what it is, we are not bankrolled - if Poch or Redknapp era was happening right now and we failed to back them at the right time i would get it, I would be right here complaining...

    I don't think you understand why Arsenal were willing or able to buy a player like Rice - they had a manager in place for several seasons who had helped rebuild the team to a point that they were matching City in a 90 point plus season, Arteta knew what he wanted at that point and had earned the...

    Yeah i mean I literally just said Conte, Mourinho and that whole period was one big mistake - I don't know what else you want me to say?

    No, history does not say that won't happen because it's only post stadium build that we have begun to see us making the sort of money that can make the difference and since then we have been fighting other battles (see previous post regarding foundations and not committing to a rebuild)

    It was but it wasn't just 'securing top 4' was it it was a 2nd place finish and title challenge that they very nearly got over the line v an exceptional City team, eg their team/squad was more complete than ours was at your chosen comparison point, and 3 years or so in the making - Conte like...

    Yes and they continue to do so. Along with young players bought to develop they have shown that putting long term foundations in place is a route to (near) success - we are treading a similar path and will need to follow it up with here and now quality at the right time. I think you can...

    Yes, he's a clam. Regarding the new CEO - i don't know what involvement he had with Arsenals rebuild but it would have been some presumably. It was Edu & Arteta at the coal face underneath him that oversaw the work. The team they had in previous that oversaw the transition away from Wenger was...

    Arsenal didn't sign Rice after securing top 4 they did it after their first 2nd place finish. If you want to compare to Arsenal have a look at the calibre of player they were buying before they got back in to the CL. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-arsenal/alletransfers/verein/11 We have a...
