We could have had Lukaku.
He was the striker I wanted Wenger to buy to replace Giroud but because he is such a ditherer it means he is way out of our budget.
It is ridiculous to think that over four seasons a club like ours can’t buy a striker.
Every other club seems to be able to do it except us.
Wenger’s record on buying strikers that can walk into the first team is extremely poor.
When?
It was because Wenger believed Giroud was good enough (or still) as our #1, so he never had real intention to get us one, get us someone better or someone to compete with him.

I don’t think this has ever really been true. Wenger has tried to sign Higuain, Suarez and Vardy over the last 3-4 seasons whilst we’ve been strongly linked to Lacazette too.
So you could argue Wenger hasn’t really ever see him as the undisputed number one. He’s been in and out of the team enough times too.
Wenger being compared to Mugabe. This is why it’s difficult to side with these people.
When Everton bought him.
If we can’t compete in the transfer market with a club like Everton then we really are not a big club.
I’m sure if we had offered Everton 60m, we could have had him last season as well.
I don’t think Chelsea were going to sell us a player like Lukaku.
That’s true.
But what does it say about us as a club that we have stuck with a striker that clearly Wenger doesn’t see as good enough, and haven’t replaced RVP?
It is a complete shambles.
It says a lot about how poorly we’ve been managed. We still haven’t replaced RVP. It’s diabolical management.
We havent replaced David Dein let alone RvP.
FOW
Possibly an indicator that Wenger will be leaving at the end of the season, the article says that Boro Primorac will takeover as manager at Konyaspor at the end of the season, he’s been working alongside Wenger since they were in Japan.
I don’t get it. Are we trying to give him less power by kicking his right-men out of the club or these man already knows Wenger is leaving at the end of the season?
looks like he is leaving to me, they seem to be disbanding his regime bit by bit!
Bye Boro. We hardly fucking knew ya.
Surely he wouldn’t leave if Wenger was staying…
You don’t know that. Maybe Wenger is scapegoating him.
Maybe Wenger is really serious about changing? Or possibly Wenger’s going upstairs and therefore Primorac won’t have a job come the summer?
If Wenger was going and going to another club, Boro would follow him, surely?
