Suspect we are probably just pushing all our remaining deals to the last minute.
There's been lots of evidence over the years that Wenger believes doing so saves us money and that the issues with morale, preparation and tactical unity, never mind the risk of missing out on our targets altogether, don't outweigh that.
And yet as we all know we've had a significant number of high profile bad buys and bad misses because of this reckless policy.
And this policy also practically guarantees our squad is never quite complete. It's an approach which cost us the league last season, the only season in which we've been handed a massive opportunity to win.
Essentially, implementing this policy is deliberately choosing failure. And it's the fact we choose to fail that means Wenger must be gotten rid of utterly, not just sidelined but excommunicated. His ideology is poison to our chances.
