"another six million pounds experiment is this man going bananas!!!!!!! other serious teams are buying quality and expirience he is busy buying school boys and hoping to win the prem, it is absolutely impossible, man is this a bad dream or something somebody should pls wake me up!!"

bababoiarsenal (Arsenal fan)

"I guess Arsene should blame himself for not buttressing the midfield in the first place. He has no right to blame anybody in the team for their lack of performance because he had the opportunity to buy but he chose not"

"mattbell4409 (Leeds United fan) - Ohhh well, if everyone at Leeds says he isnt going then thats that sorted, unlucky Wenger maybe next time!"
