We have been hearing about the potential of this team for a number of years now, since we went unbeaten and the team known as "The Invincibles" we were told that for every player who left we had a ready made replacement waiting in the wings, while I agree with that for most part the replacements have come through have been brilliant, Fabregas being a casing example but how many Fabregas have we produced in the last few years?

Yet here we are pinning our hopes that for our next game his hamstring does not pop, we all applauded when Fabregas out played Vieira on his first return to Arsenal and lets hope that he does the same  next time but here it is, as the potential has not "yet" been fulfilled should Wenger splash the cash and I suppose that is the hard bit because we don’t want him to foolishly start splashing the cash (to appease the likes of me) and buy over priced players that do not deliver.

When it was time for Pires, Llungberg, Henry to move to pastures new and in Henrys case we got a great return for a legend, where as his replacements in Bendtner or Eduardo have not delivered as regularly as the great man.
