Dein or no Dein, le old Pete or Wenger... we've never actually spent crazy money on any player.
Our most expensive signing during those years was what... Sylvain Wiltord for 13M? Or 10M up front for Jose Reyes? (good lord we didn't pay the full amount of 17M for the latter). I seriously can't think of any huge money signings in the realms of Torres--> Chelsea or C.Ronaldo-->RM. Arshavin was sorta a "huge money, huge fame" signing and now there are even people who want him out of the Grove.
Lots have been said about our team's recent disappointing results, in particularly the future of certain players who have underperformed. I don't think anyone will object to change, but unless a takeover/change in managerial personnel happens it'll just be the same nip-tuck here and there. Maybe it's the coaching staff/tacticians that might need a revolution since many of our old problems tend to persist.
What's also important is to avoid injury crisis - which is something that always happen to our team especially the core players. Whether it's over-optimism by the treating staff or overbearing rehabilitation/training methods I guess nobody really knows; but I'm beginning to think there might be a very cute physio or nurse in the treatment room. I wanna go there someday to check it out.
Adebayor was never as bad as many (especially Arsenal fans and later City fans) think. It's more of his diva-attitude that many detest. Not sure whether fame got to his head or it's just a retaliation to fans who didn't appreciate his contributions, but note that during his early days he was actually one of the most hardworking and humble players who got along well with his Arsenal mates, Henry in particular. Having said that he did have a reputation from Monaco as one of the more difficult personalities to manage.
But yeah, Ade often comes good vs T'ham, but credit to T'ham for going further than we did in the CL although with a 4 goal deficit against Mourinho, the master of defence, will be more than just an arduous task.
not to mean any offense. but don't you think Dein is important in the club. He used to work together with Wenger to sign Arsene's desired plyaerOur most expensive signing during those years was what... Sylvain Wiltord for 13M? Or 10M up front for Jose Reyes?
