Wenger doesn't have to be there to sign players personally at the end of the day.
Don't give a shit about Jones if I'm honest, young talent, scouted, it is what it is; we haven't missed out big time there. Same thing happened with Smalling, it's just player choice which, realistically, is what it comes down to.
I know for a fact that Arsenal has better scouting systems than practically everybody, I also know for a fact that we don't like 'playing ball' when it comes to agents and intermediaries on any deal and I think it's quite harsh to blame that on Wenger as, in my opinion, it is a direct result of what happened with Graham and the board's inherent distrust.
What I'm sick of is the complete lack of interest interest in established players although, to be fair, that may have alot to do with boardroom issues. Maybe.
