There goes Arsene running with his mouth again, blaming imminent player departures for recent failed title run-ins. I swear he never learns, does he? If you have to rely on everything to shift nicely in place in order to win a title, then anyone can. Arsene's problem, clearly, is not making the key decisions that keep the club competitive - the last time he did that was when Pires did his knee in 2002 fgs
And tbh the fact that Arsene is still at the club without winning the league for so long, it means there is a losing culture at the club. Financial power means nothing. If you bring in a top top player and promise that he would bring the title to the club, and that doesn't happen, said player won't want your new contract and will depart for places where he can actually win things.
