if the young guns could deliver UCL football, there shouldn't be a problem. now, if these boys stop developing, then there's a talent problem.

@Dan K - I don't know if I would go as far as to call it "turmoil", as it remains a small but vocal minority, but I hope I've given a fair picture of the tensions that exist at Arsenal, albeit from my own, decidedly pro-Wenger perspective. I find it amazing that people don't give Wenger more credit and that the press hound him over transfers the way they do. He's now up against probably the 3 richest clubs in the world (aside from Madrid), and has cemented Arsenal's place at the top table of European football for 10 years based on *ouch* maybe half as much spending as Tottenham over the same period. Btw, I possibly don't know enough, but it's always been my feeling that Daniel Levy is the real problem at Spurs. He just seems to make all the wrong decisions - I'd be interested to know what you think about him.

Hi really like this article, we are staring a online football magazine soon, join us on facebook, Extra Time Magazine

@Grabs - I am not sure if most Tottenham fans will agree with me so I speak for myself. Daniel Levy has done some amazing things at Tottenham, but some of the moves that have been taken have also been poorly planned and executed. With Levy at the helm, the club has developed a healthy financial position as can be seen that the club still have money that it can spend, despite having spent a ridiculous amount of the last few seasons, without seeing success in return. Sacking Martin Jol, or the whole way in which that saga went down disguted me. I don't think anyone deserves to be treated in that way, let alone a man who was clearly so committed to Tottenham. But, take the Frank Arnesen affair - Levy handled it brilliantly. With the new stadium and all, it's pretty exciting times for the club, and it's now just a question of whether they can reach the next level....

Russian billionaires and Arab sheikhs aside, I think it's a question of good investment choices, sound financial planning and making sure that they never overstretched themselves. It's surprising to think that they achieved that in light of all the money they have spent over the years. Obviously, I now fear that the world will take my words, chew them, and spit them out, resulting in Tottenham declaring bankruptcy this season ;-)

with the current loss of adebayor, arsenal will be needing to sign a striker before the transfer season is over, because arshavin cannot do it alone and they need a win against celtic for champions league qualification

@teddy ruxspin - fair enough you don't care. Does that have anything to do with the fact that Villa won't be able to get near Arsenal this season without Barry and Laursen? I think people watch goings on at Arsenal carefully to see if it is actually possible to compete with the biggest spending clubs using an alternative, long-term strategy. Surely that's relevant for most clubs north of Watford?

Villa Park-I would rather visit Bescot Stadium-lol

Big Bear WATCH OUT Now-Wolves,Brum and Stoke will all beat you at home this Season-lol
