Wenger made Arsenal by making expesive buys to please the fickle yet gullible fans.
I admit many of the Man Utd "faithful" are glory hunters, but the reason why Ferguson bought big this year is to win the Champions League. Since United won it, we haven't really put ourselves back into a position to win it again. Making our injury prone midfield even stronger with Veron, and adding yet another world class striker in Van Nistlerooy should make us serious contenders.
Also in the press, Houlier has been complaining that Liverpool will be too tired to play after a cople of months with European games as well as World Cup Qualifiers. If this is the case, then They should put in more fitness training. Having players like Owen and Gerrard wrapped in cotton wool does no good to Liverpool nor England, and this is a problem that all clubs face.
I hope that this is not going to be a season full of complaining about fixture congestion. If Liverpool can't afford to lose Owen, Fowler, Heskey and Gerrard for a few matches a year, then they do not have the necessary strength and depth of a squad to launch a serious campaign next year. This is the same for any other club.
Stop complaining about not having players during International games when its something that all major clubs have to put up with

Depending on how well Everton does this season could depend on Smith's future at the club.
The Man United board since the departure of Martin Edwards has been very much in sync with the buying sensibility of Ferguson.
Erikson has also had communication with loads of players from Lazio, which may, or may not be a good thing.
Its obvious that Sven has had a part to play in the Veron move, and if this not a big success, then this will all come back to Fergie.
Arsene Wenger's job at Arsenal is safe, I think?!? He's just bought half a dozen players (and wasted 10 million on Jeffers, plonker, not that I'm complaining!) and is seriously giving Man U the push. Unless your Sir Alex, no one spends a lot of money on all those players without changing clubs or retiring the next season (unless they've played REALLY bad)
