The arsenal faithful have continually showed their displeasure at the club's stringent transfer policy and also, voiced their disappointment with the pricey services (inclusive of ticket prices) currently on offer at the Emirates. The fans would love to see their darling arsenal compete head to head with the City's of today, with a view to beating them to the signatures of top draw players.
The feeling is mutual according to wenger, who adamantly maintains his staunch position -that the club's assets must always outweigh its liabilities irrespective of victory. Speaking to the media ahead of his side's clash with Udinese, Wenger urged the fans to trust in his judgment: "I have been in football for a long, long time and I don't think just spending money is a target that is defendable.
"To spend the money on a top player is defendable. But just to spend the money is like you are worried.
"Our fans can be proud of the way we run this club, of the quality of player we have and of the financial situation that is existing at the Club. Rather than convicting this club, they have more reason to be proud of the whole situation here.
"We have built a team and a stadium in such a short space of time, and have a strong financial situation - and we always survived at the top level. There are more reasons to be positive than the negatives ones being sold by everybody." the quotes used in this article are courtesy of Arsenal.com

I'm saying this as I have very high confidence in the new recruits and our own youth coming through the reserve. Medium term looks promising but it depends a lot on the mental strength of the whole team and I do not want it to deteriorate because of a bad 2011/2012 season.
I'm one of the thousands frustrated fans all over the world that are finding it hard to understand Wenger's transfer policy. I remember pulling my hair (w****ver little I have left) in despair every time watching Silvestre making a fool of himself to live up to his 1 million pound fee that Wenger paid to MUnited. And now having to watch Squilaci fumbling around every time he is on the pitch. I still trust Wenger but my trust is growing thin very fast and could probably last only one more season..
