Personally, I think rather than looking at the blame to lie on the players and the manager we should be looking at our legal team accountants and finance department. How are teams like Chelsea able to sign any players they want without facing any charges, how are Mancity able to avoid prosecution and they have 115 charges? How are other Teams like Man United year in and year out able to spend money. Looks like our club has already we can't afford Izak surely that would only be if ARteta is identifying to the club we need a striker and he wants a striker.

{Ed014's Note - they haven’t avoided punishment yet although they really only have 3 serious charges, those 3 enough to cost them plenty, if they have a case to answer, which would seem quite likely.

United have been a global money maker so have been able to spend, albeit badly.

Chelsea had used the ability to sign players on ridiculously long contracts as a way of getting around Financial constraints, I think that loop hole has been closed.

We’ve spent a fair old wedge but of course having been out of the Champions league for so long and not challenging for a similar length of time does have a big impact on finances.

G4E - questions are being asked but not soon enough. Look at how quickly Everton had to answer questions. However, we are needing to chase Liverpool and we’ve had a fortune to spend but decided to prioritise defensive reinforcements and a different type of frontman.

Chelsea loophole is ridiculous but clever. Utd are a huge club and City are cheats however we still need to compete. We need to control what we can control - our signings and how we play. Hopefully a nice big win tomorrow. May be try Jesus on the left. ?.

Realistic expectation I'm dreading tomorrow. Man you seem to always turn up when they play us. Won't be a walk in the park.

We identified a successful plan to buy youth, coach them up, and sell the ones who don't make the team better. I feel that we lost sight of this plan as soon as Arteta took us to 2nd way ahead of schedule. Spending loads more money isn't how we put ourselves in a strong position. Adhering to a sustainable model, however, is.

We need to stop looking at this season as "win at all costs" and instead look at how we can successfully turn the club into a dynasty that can compete successfully for 10 years on the trot. I know it's not how football fans think, but this is how you topple Man City IMO.

Morning Wire - that feels like the Wenger plan and eventually thst plan crumbles unless we win something. Players won’t wait around. It is balance and I like seeing LS break into the side and there’s a lot of youth in todays squad., I’m not sure he's deserted that but you still need to sprinkle it with top quality signings. The 700m wasn’t all spent last summer and was part of our runners up trophies. We just didn’t spend that 700m in the right areas or effectively. So now we have a number of sub-par signings blocking youth OR still need upgrading. We can’t compete with youth alone and we don’t have the expertise or funds to buy the players.
We need to improve our acquisition and disposal strategy L. We need to keep youth coming thru. Get a bigger and stronger squad due to injuries and more matecgrd.
I think biggest return is attacking fast - that’s the biggest change required.
Surely we have more youth this season than last.
I would say we are feeling not addressing LW, CF and FB/ CB cover due to poor purchasing.

I agree with wire this year should be seen as that. However I also agree with SY4 in that if we don’t have the youth to cover the position we should bring in experienced established reinforcement. But this would cost big and we don’t have the money. So we are stuck.

Hi G4 mate, constantly thinking about how things should be but aren't is a guaranteed recipe for persistent dissatisfaction and unhappiness, while accepting what is and trusting everything will work out with or without our worrying and other thinking about it is a recipe for accepting and enjoying the good things.

If we lose today some people will go into meltdown overdrive while others will allow their disappointment to pass quickly and consenteate on what is still achievable this season.

Obviously its very much up to each of us to choose which way we want to go.

There's no fun in that g62 we have to express our thoughts n try and put some perceptive on it.

Fair comment G4 mate ? as long as its bringing you pleasure where's the harm ?.
