Reyes was a huge signing at the time 18 million plus I think in all add ons. Arsenal maybe always didn't buy 1 player over 20 million but they always spent more than 90% of the other teams in the league.  

You're living in a dream world. Every protest or complaint at the time was "spend some money". Even when we bought Ozil, our net spend in total that season was £35m. That's not a lot. And only then did spending a decent amount actually begin.

To suggest that there wasn't a period where we had to restrict ourselves when it came to spending is insane. It's well documented. People have gone from saying "Wenger is the one choosing not to spend money and he treats it like it's his own money" to now saying "nah, he actually did spend a lot of money and should've won the title even though the numbers don't back that up at all". Changing the narrative to something that's more convenient for 2019 won't play with me. Say no to revisionism.

Stop with this net spending bollocks, he spent money but it was money invested in the wrong areas of the team.

As Ancelotri said this summer just finished... "Wages are what marks projection and what you're ultimately judged on these days"

When Wenger came he was a coach before his time and when he left he was coach out of date.  The sorry thing is for a lot of Arsenal fans is that they can't come to terms that he just was not any good anymore.

We didn't spend that much during that period we're discussing, and we weren't even close go the top spenders. We're not talking about opinions here, we're talking about numbers. "Spending some fucking money" being at the heart of every single complaint from fans isn't a myth but now that it's been made obvious that it was down to the stadium move (which a lot of fans didn't understand for some reason), you're deciding to actually pretend that we did actually spend a lot of money... :dam:

This is from 02/03 to the sale of Nasri in 11/12. And in that 10 year period it has us actually making a profit when it comes to transfers and 2nd from bottom in the net spend table. 

http://www.sportingintelligence.com/2011/08/24/sale-of-nasri-makes-arsenal-a-net-selling-club-over-a-decade-24080/

Made a profit in 2012/13 as well. So the 11 year period between 02/03 to 12/13 has us making a profit from transfers. The season after that we started spending decent amount of money when buying Ozil which gave us a staggering £35m net spend for that season. Also when we started winning a few FA Cups.

I don't know what other proof you need that we weren't big spenders for a long time. Even when we started spending money and we bought Aubameyang and Lacazette under Wenger, we actually made a profit that season.

I will genuinely laugh if Luiz gets it. State of your club 

No one else really to give it to, there are no real leaders in this team, to give it to Xhaka is more of a laugh, Emery made a mockery of the situation by letting the players choose.

Leno. 

Seems like your only player who consistently performs and is a long term asset.

Not really consistent though, he makes a lot of errors plus his kicking is shocking when you are playing how Arsenal play out of the back.

A captain needs to be much more than just a consistent performer. 

Arsenal used to be full of leaders. Adam's, Keown, Viera etc. 

Cant even pick one now.

 Holding will be a future captain but now Luiz is the only player I can think of and that is only because of experience.

To be honest I didn't necessarily have an issue with how Xhaka reacted to the boos. You want someone who will stand up to it and back himself rather than someone who would be crushed by it. Emery saying he needs to apologise isn't a great move in my opinion but I guess it depends on how he apologises if he does.

You want him to be good for a start, if dropping the armband and chucking his shirt is considered standing up to boos then no wonder your lot are hopeless

I think the problem was the way he walked off, the boos came when he just strolled off as he was sulking to be subbed so he did bring a lot of attention to himself. The damage has been done now, he was never a really liked by many of the fans this will just make it worse for the ones that have it in for him.
