I think you have to take into consideration that the stadium will be paid off this year and also the sponsership deals are up for renewal as well. The investment in the stadium must still be affectting the amount that they can spend. Once it is paid off then Arsenal are in a far better postion finacally than the teams around them. Take spurs and liverpool they still are in their grounds that dont have the capacity Arsenal have. I support Arsenal and want them to win trophies but I do think there is a bigger picture and think that what Wenger has done (to keep them in the Top 4 for the past 13 year) has been good considering having to sell his best players. I dont buy into this opinion that he is stuck in his ways and wont change it. Do you really think he would risk his reptutation. I think the players have to take alot of the responsiblity as some of them just have not been performing and tend to hide when it gets tough.
