If Arsenal had the money to buy a decent keeper or two, replace Cygan, genereally strengthen our squad - which Wenger could easily have done with the money Mourinho spent - with the money he spent on Drogba alone in fact, then it would have been a very different matter.
Let's not forget they've spent almost a quarter of a billion pounds in the space of a year since Abramovich came in and they were already in the Champions League, so they were a decent team already and they wouldn't have got Mourinho if it wasn't for all that money.
Moyes has been punching above his weight with Everton and deserves respect - Mourinho has barely been punching his weigt with all the resources he has available to him.
lol the trance has gone
