Is it just me that thinks it's weird how kids think life is played out almost entirely through social media? They seem to think if it's not on twatter then it can't have happened. Weird and a little scary.

Twitter can be great for news, but it's also a sewer filled with attention seeking nobodies.

So Wengers replacement has £50m to spend unless he sells first. Music to my ears, next season Arsenal will be lucky to finish top 6!

I'd love to know how much of this is true, hopefully it is because the new manager isn't going to reconstruct that team without some serious investment.

On one hand it could be true as they had to offload Walcott, Giroud and a number of others before they could bring in Aubemeyang and Mkhitaryan only came as a straight swap. Then you had Wenger stating that they couldn't afford the very expensive Jonny Evans.

However, was that the club being restrictive as they didn't want to spend too much under Wenger? Or is Kroenke now operating on a spenditure based upon sales. I seriously hope so because 50m won't get them far and they hardly have a bunch of assets to sell.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s partly true. Itk said that the aboomerang contract and fee was a huge package. It wasn’t mentioned much at the time in the papers but interesting it is now.

We will find out though if their current players have just not been trying as hard as they could have been when the new manager comes in. If as I suspect that is the case then they might not need massive investment. Good coaching might be all they really need.

He's not happy, had a pop at their fans the other day too. Hopefully he throws their Europa league pursuit on purpose as a 2 fingered au revoir lol

I think it was obvious he jumped before being pushed with the way it came out.

And I originally thought they'd keep him next season up until last week.

Some deluded fans think they will poach Poch from us this summer because of the whole Campbell thing. That Campbell thing will sadly haunt us forever.
