Hmmm interesting reports coming from France that the board blocked a move for griezmann. Now not saying it's true. But if there's any truth to this then to me this highlights a problem many people seem to be blind to. Changing manager may not sort our problems.
That being said I doubt that's true.

Where'd you see this mate?
I'm not disagreeing, genuinely asking, I had a quick Google and couldn't see anything (though I am an idiot at times, so that means little! )
The reason I ask, is because I'm really interested in this sort of thing.
We all get on Arsene's back, but more often than not, our board escape with a bit of a tounge lashing and a couple of boo's.
There are different stories this window already, you've read these about the board blocking a move for Griezmann and there was one earlier on saying the board actually finalised Xhaka because Arsene was penny pinching.
This is one of the things that interest me the most about Arsene eventually leaving, the aftermath.
I expect a lot to come out from the club, coaches and back room staff telling their stories, how Wenger is X and Kroneke is Y.
I even expect it from Wenger and the board.
I wouldn't be surprised to see 'I did what I could with the limited funds made avaliable to me' followed up with the new Arsenal manager getting a £200m wad to spend as a 'we're happy to spend, it's all Arsene! '
I'm not sure we'll ever REALLY know who's to blame for our ineptitude when it comes to transfers, but I expect to see a few fall outs and upsets in the future.

I have an app on my phone called 90mins if that's ok to be posted. They put articles and stories on there from various news sources. They say this one was from get French football news. Said Arsene had been trying since the euros.
There so many scenarios it's hard knowing what's true. To me the whole board down to Arsene needs a good kick up the ass.

Thank you ed! I did wonder. It's such a shame it's difficult reading and stories now without having to debate if it's real from journalists.

The French use a different Internet to us.
