Did Wenger LIE to the Arsenal fans AGAIN?

A few weeks ago the Arsenal king of spin Arsene Wenger said that he wanted to bring in a frontman to cover a couple of key injuries.

At the time i said on the forum that Wenger was useing this to get the best out of Eduardo and was not going to sign a striker. Then Wenger came out and said “I want to buy as soon as possible” and” I will spend my money responsibly” I again said that this was bullshit and within the next few weeks Wenger would come out and say that the return of injuryed players would be like NEW signings..and not for the first time, He “DID”

Not the first time we have seen this from Wenger over the years. and not the first time he has lied to the fans and mugged us off.

Why come out with all this bollocks on Arsenal.com and get the fans hopes up about new signings only to let us down? I do wish Wenger would just keep his gob shut and stop coming out with all this crap.

Over the years he has said things like ” I will sign 2 world class players, ” The Arsenal fans will be reassured by the new signings” I will sign BIG players”…Etc etc etc.

And everytime we are let down.

And NOW Wenger who recently told the world that he was looking at Chris Smalling has missed out on yet another player. Why did he say anything about Smalling anyway? … by doing so he told other clubs who might have been looking at Smalling that we were looking at him and there might be a chance we could missed out on him.

And Man Utd showed Arsenal hows its done. In 2 days they had a bid accepted and the player signed.

Unlike Arsenal who seem to take 5/6 weeks to sign a player and get the deal done but trying to get him as cheap as possible. and run the risk of missing out, Just like we did with Alonso, and how we almost missed out on Arshavin.

Well… Yet again a transfer window has come and gone and Arsenal do nothing. Like i have said loads of times, Arsenal care about one thing and thats profit.

We are in a fantastic place to win the league and by investing some of that £30m from the sales of Adebayor and Toure on much needed replacements for Song and RVP we might have gone on and won the league.

Now I just fear that the next 4 games will put an end to that and our season.

But who cares, At the end of the day the club will be happy with the profit and the “in wenger we trust crew” will tell us that Wenger did a great job. But the sad fact is that this season we had a real chance of winning something for the first time since 2005 and all we needed was 2 players and our manager to spend some of that profit.But yet again Wenger has shown how stubborn he is… I just hope that come the end of THIS season you will all see what I see.

Arsenal care about one thing and thats not winning things, its about making money and Wenger is treating my club as his own project. This club is now a farm. We sign players with only one thing in mind, to sell them on for a profit.

Why? Dont we spend good money at Arsenal? Why dont we get the big signings like Torres etc?

Maybe thats why you are now seeing so many empty seats at Arsenal. People have had enough of this and i cant blame them.

Sinbad.

Yeah. Did ManUtd show how it was done with Aaron Ramsey? And who is the better player? You talk SHIT all the time on this site.

We’re going TOP tonight. Do you get that? TOP OF THE LEAGUE! And all you write here is negative bollocks like the plastic idiots you are.

The LAST player I wanted Arsenal to sign is Smalling. He has played LESS than a dozen professional games!!! And i believe if Wenger could’ve got the striker he wanted he would’ve done so. He’s probably after Dzeko but the price was excessive. Chamakh free in the summer makes more sense because it frees up money to buy a PROVEN C/B.

Sinbad. You’re a wanker, mate!

Real chance of winning something, pretty sure you werent saying that at the start of season, If i remember right you predicted 6th or 7th. He said from the start he would like to buy, not that the would, he would only buy if he could find quality, and said he didnt have any targets.
and he has brought in sol and galinda.
You are full of nonsense and seem to love nothing more than stirring the pot.
stonroy says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:39 pm

Okay that last paragraph went a bit too far, however I agree with you. He has no right to disrespect the fans they way he does. He says there wasn’t anyone out there who is Arsenal class, that’s a load of crap, I could give you a list a mile long, however they are more than 20 quid and a packet of crisps. He has no right to play with our emotions like that.

Grow up you spoilt little cunt.
drew10 says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:41 pm

You spout the biggest load of crap I have ever heard!! We have signed Arshavin who is a world class player. I don’t think Wenger saying he will sign only the players he thinks will improve upon what we already have is a stupid notion.

Also Arsenal don’t only care about profit, what a load of shit that is, they care about completely the opposite and that is debt.

Christ why am I even bothering to answer this total crap?
TonyM says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:41 pm

I was saying something simliar over at young guns and some guy slated me.
Its very frustrating being promised signings and then 2 weeks later being no we’re not signing anyone. and this is every transfer window now
Ben says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:41 pm

I think you moan too much. BUt I do agree that Wenger should stop saying these things to supporters. It’s like he is pretending to sign people to take the heat off his back and then right at the end of the transfer window says he doesnt need anyone and never did. It’s patronising – he must think we’re stupid. I don’t think he ever intended to buy anyone in the first place. Wenger should be more honest with supporters not treat them like something on the bottom of his shoe.
Rabie says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:43 pm

wHO THE hell do you think to are talking like that about a living legend?

Its sad to see such stupid Arsenal fans. He said he would buy if he found the right player. Go play fifa and leave blog writing for some1 that actually has common sense.
Dave says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:43 pm

did you really expect him to sign a player? of course he lies, he lies to us every transfer window.

January 27, 2010 at 5:45 pm

great post i for one am frustrated at our lack of activity in the transfer market theres a que of players that want to join arsenal but wenger doesnt sign no 1 and when we lose he says we were unlucky bad referee or we come back stronger we shoewed a togetherness etc etc we need a new goalkeeper a new midfielder and perhaps a defender and our squad would be able to match ne squad in the league we need 2 get rid of almunia and silvestre
GunnerFishing says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:45 pm

Totally agree, we should spend all the money we have and more and get into all sorts of trouble like Leeds, Liverpool, Manure, Man city and Chelski. Lucky for Man city and Chelski that they have a sugar daddy or they would be in administration already. Spending big money does not guarantee anything.
matt says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:45 pm

Like we missed out to manure on Ramsey. who showed who how it was done that time??? Gary Neville i suppose. You are the most negative twat i have ever known. I really have no idea why you support Arsenal. All you ever do is moan and whinge like the fat idiot you are. You say nearly missed out on Arsha like you know exactly what happened. Well he pLAYS for us so just fuck off up the other end of seven sisters TWAT. Yuo should be getting behind the team at a time like this, but no not you Sinbad just your usual shit.
Arsenal&Arsene says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:46 pm

Shut Up! Everything You Have Posted This Season Has Been Negative… Don’t come with your bullshit. I’m a 35year old man, and I have see when the club has been at it’s low points. And believe me if you think this is BAD! then you know CLUE! about the club you claim to support… As to go with the Striker claim… who are the top scorers of the league son?
You NEW! Arsenal supporters make me sick.
Alan says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:46 pm

I’ve been saying this for as long as Wenger being sprouting it. His next statement comes in May when we are trophyless. It goes like this ‘I have identified our weaknesses and we will certainly buy 3 super class players. Super super class. The supporters will be reassured by what they see. We want to do this early, certainly before the World Cup.’
This will be followed up in August by ‘the players coming back from injury will be like new signings – actually I can’t even continue – you know the rest by now.
Dave says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:47 pm

don’t forget as part of that statement he will let 3 players go and not replace them
stonroy says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:47 pm

In all honesty I think he is in for Chamakh and new that buying someone now just wouldn’t work.
Mike says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:49 pm

If we bought a striker now what we do with them after all of them are fit? Would we sell a striker or just have too many? We need strikers because the majority are injured, if they weren’t you wouldn’t be asking for a striker. How many do you want to add to van Persie, Bendtner, Eduardo, Walcott, Vela and the others that can play up front? I know let’s buy more strikers so we have too many.

I’d be happy to sign an experienced defender for £12million (what United offered) but I’m not sure Smalling is worth it. I haven’t actually seen him play. He won’t win us the title!!!!!!!!!

It’s really boring this Arsene we trust rubbish, it’s so tedious the clamouring from the opposite sides. Get over your negativity and support the team!!
GunnerPete says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:49 pm

You call AW stubborn????Blimey mate you must have green coloured eyeballs spouting the same old crap every week.
This ‘we are and have been in a position to win the league’ excuse me again is it that shocking Arsene who has got us up ther against not only your predictions of doom but also your onbious wishes!

It was not £30 million from sales it was £40+ mill and £10 mill was spent on Vermaelen or dont he count?

As for AFC being only in this for profit …what as against being in the red like Manure..Liverpool…Chelski….Spurs etc etc. Get real son and get that bloody great chip of hate off your back. The only thing I will agree with you I do not like about the club, but again is nothing to do with AW…and that is the shocking brinkmanship they play on transfers. This fails more often than we know and Smalling looks like another one where Manure apparently made an offer 8 weeks ago ( 2 days) and Fulham were hoping that AFC will get the price raised and it worked..they also keep him until June. We should be quicker and willing to pay the going rate but we have been this bad since about 1960 when we allowed Spurs to beat us to seven top players who turned them into world beaters for 3 years.

So put up or belt up mate and try to become a real supporter.
tim says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:49 pm

Blah blah blah.

Wenger has us on par with the rest of these free spending, debt collecting fraudulent teams who are spending money they don’t have.

Unlike the other top teams, Arsenal are run like a business. If you can’t recognise this then I don’t know what to tell you.

And who, may I ask, did you want us to sign? Keep in mind that the player signed would be expected to make an IMMEDIATE impact. There’s absolutely no room for error. You probably want a striker; what available striker could come in and make an impact right away?

When Arsenal are celebrating a well-deserved and well-earned trophy this season or next, a trophy won in spite of our not getting involved in silly spending that will cripple a club in the long run, I, for one, hope that you have relinquished your support for The Arsenal and stay home and leave the celebrating to the rest of us.
Greg says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:50 pm

Great post. I feel the same way and this is the reason why i have now stopped going over the Arsenal and the reason why i have stopped buying anything to do with Arsenal.

I will not give them a penny until they start to invest it BACK into the club and on players.

I’m sick of Wenger and the board treating us fans like mugs.

Well said Sinbad. About time somebody had the guts to say this
ron says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:50 pm

wenger is a very sick man and very big lie.hes waitin for bent52 to come back but the guy is pure shit. before he got injured how many goals did he score? last season he played alot when vp11 wos injured and he did shit again.wenger says buy the right player at the right price but what aout the fans why cant we buy the right match ticket at the right price? he would never lets us off 50p but he would never pay 50p extera for a singing. its realy time he left we need a new board with a new manger who wants to win something. ita not a youth poilcy its called makein alot off money policy. most off the young players hes got are very shit at best. 6 years without winning the epl that says alot about hes sick project.
stonroy says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:50 pm

I love these people that come on here as if he is saying we should sack Wenger, he’s not so read the article. If you don’t think that Wenger has been using us as a pawn with his supposed talk of buying new players, I must say your head is well and truly up your ass

i bet he wanks over murder she wrote repeats.

haaaaaaaaaaaa
Mike says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:54 pm

you are a complete idiot, this is not an ‘in Arsene we trust’ situation, it’s just a completely pathetic statement. why is it only arsenal fans that behave like this? we have a huge game against villa today and this is where your focus is. when people say, ’1% of idiots that have a view’, well done mate, you’re firmly in that 1%. don’t bother replying to my post, i won’t ever be reading this again – embarrassing!
The Fabster says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Sinbad mate, not always I say this, but I completely agree

I wouldn’t throw away our chances of winning the league yet, but without a big man upfront, we will never be a threat to defences. Eduardo, Arshavin and Theo are fantastic individual players but cannot play together in the same team.

Up the Arsenal, I’m trying to stay positive but can’t help fearing the worse.
stonroy says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Let me ask you all this question. Ih we were debt free do you think Arsene would spend money any differently? Yu know what the answer is…Xabi Alonso- Ribery- Chamakh- Smalling..

Stroller says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:57 pm

If you’ve had enough then just p*ss off elsewhere. You talk like an 8 year old, but your real motivation is probably to get attention on the net by sensational headlines. There are far more empty spaces on this Arsenal blog due to the infantile stuff like this, And cut out the ‘we’ please because you don’t speak for the majority and your certainly the last person I would want representing me. Get it into your thick head that Wenger knows 1000% more about what’s going on at the club and what’s needed than you so stop pontificating rubbish.
SF Gooner says:

January 27, 2010 at 5:58 pm

Absolute horseshit. Even if we only end up with 6 points our run in for the rest of the season is which we can go on a serious winning streak and the other WILL drop points.
Dave says:

Wenger will only buy better players than he’s got. Does that include Denilson? There are League One players better than him.
ron says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:00 pm

wanker is just a big lie most off players are very shit or just injured most off the time and he cant find anyone batter then that? walcock vela bent52 and edu silva all off them put 2gather ant scored more then 10 goals? and wenger cant find anyone batter then them?
Skaka says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:01 pm

Same old shit again we have to take..does a living legend means he can keep telling all lies to the supporters? it happens on every transfer window, believe me guys.. it’s all about his ego trip, he is just playing god and we are supposed to be his blind and dumb servants
Gorakshep says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:02 pm

“but what aout the fans why cant we buy the right match ticket at the right price? he would never lets us off 50p but he would never pay 50p extera for a singing”-agreed, 50 p should be the ticket price !!
Fabgooner says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:02 pm

“hes waitin for bent52 to come back but the guy is pure shit. before he got injured how many goals did he score?”

He scored 14 last season when he was 20 or so.

Do you think Wenger doesn’t want to win trophies? The man who got slated for wanting his team to go unbeaten for a season doesn’t want to win? DO you think he likes losing? He himself admitted that he’s a bit of a bad loser.

Wenger didn’t find anyone this transfer window who was available who he liked.

Maybe you know tons of players from Football Manager who would be great, but believe it or not, Wenger knows more about players and the transfer market than you.

Wenger didn’t say that he was going to buy definitely, he said he was looking.
Julian H says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:03 pm

“Sinbad”, this is getting tedious, it really is. Do you get a kick out of being a wind-up merchant, or do you genuinely have an IQ on par with David Bentley and Phil Neville? I don’t enjoy getting personal in messages, but then your posts are so blatantly attention-seeking and formulaic that they don’t warrant any other kind of response.
Merse-10 says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:03 pm

lol here we go again. At the start of the season you were asking fans to protest against Arsene an saying we had no chance and questioned the wisdom of signing Vermaelen. Oh dear.

So people (like yourself) seem to think it’s a simple thing to buy a player.
A) He has to be available, B) he has to want to join us, C) He has to be at the right price, D) He has to be good enough.
I don’t see many clubs selling their top striker. Why would they? If Arsene can’t fin someone of genuine class to strengthen us then that’s the way it is.
The January window has seen almost NO action and there hasn’t been any big signings.

You are anti Wenger and jump at the chance to knock him and the club when there’s the chance. When we lose you slag him off and when we win you go quiet.

It’s a shame when a “fan” wants his own team to fail so he can basically say “look i was right”.

You’re not right, he hasn’t lied – you can spout this shit for the rest of the season like you did at the start and all season but it doesn’t mean you’ll ever be right.

Negative. Negative. NEGATIVE. I’m sick of it.

This isn’t Championship manager it’s real life and if Arsene can’t get the players he wants right now then so be it.
Gooner77 says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:04 pm

How about worrying about Villa tonight and trying to get behind the manager and the team?
Merse-10 says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:08 pm

It’ also a myth we were close to signing Alonso. We were never in for him. The players agent has already said that. It’s a myth that is always trotted out when people want to talk shit about us not buying anyone.
Anyway, Song has been one of our players of this season an made the holding role his own which is why signing Alonso was never going to happen but you can keep spouting that shit if it makes you feel better.
Just like Rafa……i’ll deal in FACTS
Jenkinson says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:08 pm

What a load of ‘bollix’ this site is. You must be deliriously that so many people click on to tell you what rubbish you write.
Wenger has not ever directly addressed ‘fans’. Mainly he responds politely to quite aggressive unpleasant questions from journalists looking to generate negative headlines from his replies. And he never says anything definite!
TonyM says:

January 27, 2010 at 6:09 pm

I’ve been an arsenal fan for 25 years. and it means nothing. what he says is true even though he loses a bit at the end. this isn’t the first time wenger has promised signings and not delivered. the frustration is the fact that we’ve been close in recent seasons but the belief is that one or 2 extra players could have pushed us over the finish line.
Alot of fans who have been through lean times are happy with status quo. I for one do not see the problem with fans demanding success. People say we have no right to trophies. well why not? We are very capable of doing it with the structure we have in place now. And for all the people claiming it will bankrupt the club, we took in at least 30million for adebayor and toure and the board says there is money there. We take in 3million a game at emirates. Also 2 new 10million pound players will pay it back in 6 months if we win the league. And the fans are happy.
