What is definitely a fact is that fans are fed rumours, suggestions, interpretations and sometimes complete nonsense by journalists and so called ITKs. And sadly that's often the only 'evidence' we get to go on.
Very few people are party to the mechanisms for transfers and budget distributions, and who has the final say. Undoubtedly Wenger's in that mix. But just how much control he has over proceedings is total speculation however you try and package it.
Not what we have are statements from PHW, Kroenke, the board and Wenger himself saying that he is fully supported on transfers. There was even this one guy on the board who said that nobody questions Wenger on football matters. When everyone is saying the same thing and you choose to believe otherwise you can't turn around and blame the evidence.
