If that's true, there is no way in Hell Wenger will pay that kind of
money on a defender.
would wenger spend that sort of
money on a defender??? nahh he has» nt spent that sort of money on a a striker, But Sven Mislintat may do come the summer, Control of the transfer policy has been gradually being wrested from Wengers tight little grip, but rome wasnt built in a day and the board are still in the tail end of Wenger mode.

money on defenders whilst Wenger's here.
So I really doubt that Wenger will spend this sort of
money on a Defender..
Not exact matches
Seen through the eyes of Wenger he just spends a boat load of
money on Xhaka and with playing 3 at the back we will be playing with 5
defenders if you include the wingbacks, add Xhaka (or Coq or Elneney) and you have 6 defensive minded players, leaving 4 attackers.

Cazorla is far better than Ozil in my opinion... We wasted 42M to replace our best player (Cazorla was Arsenal best player the season before we bought Ozil)... Don't get me wrong, Ozil is good but we should have invest that
money on a much needed position, maybe a striker (Bitty that the stubborn one didnot get Higuain for less than 30M) or a
defender...
I'll go a step further if Van Djik hasn't signed for Liverpool I would try to make a move and here is why: 1) Prem experience 2) Southampton plays a similar style of football than Arsenal 3) He can play in both a 3 and 4 man defense with his ability
on the ball 4) Mustafi has been up and down and I don't know which one we're getting ahead of next season and will it be for 38 weeks 5) Mertesacker will go into a non playing role 6) Chambers has played well at Boro but well enough to play a big role into this team... not really and could be used in any deal for Van Djik 7) Koscielny is our best
defenders but is dealing with a chronic injury not only that he hasn't made the best decisions at times Everything mentioned above will free wages but also increase Wenger
money to spend!
After that game we need a striker, and a
defender all other places are solid.Why waist
money on a dm when other places need sorting Monreal is first class but we need a L back to take over as next year being 30 he like rosicky will need back up and Gibbs is not that CB
Metro have reported that Roberto Fernandez who is the sporting director of La Liga champions FC Barcelona has suggested that the Gunners may have paid way over the odds for the German

money (close to 15M)

defender?
Mistamonn most of the time his playing players out of position is because we don't have the necessary depth of players for each position specially
on the left, the team is always out of balance he rely needs to buy W / C if not top players in key positions, last year i was commenting that we needed a striker before a class DM but i was so wrong, we first need the best DM that
money can buy no mater how much then and only then we can look for another class DM and a couple of descent
defenders.
The
defender was also hampered by the influx of
money and top - class talent into the club, and finally left for Villa earlier this summer having spent last season
on loan at Fiorentina.
Most should be sold off or go I feel we gave build a great club
on quick sand Over the past 10 years The old board sold us out and took the
money and ran The new board just keep taking the
money Problem is when aw does to leave or get pushed we still have people at the top who do nt seem to care for us Things and personnel are being put in place now but the damage is done I soooo fear from us as we are slipping from top 4 to top 7 I look at pool and feel a bit envious They were so far behind us a few seasons ago and now they seem a long wsy in front for now They willingly or unwillingly got a
defender they needed and we got sweet fa Up the gooners We are arsenal till we die
lets all thank arsene for finally doing the right thing only time will tell but have we finally signed the DM we need STRONG MINDED NO HOLD BAR MIDFIELDER WE HAVE ALL CRAVED, but lets take it back we all know it will take 2 or 3 more like minded players to make us great again, he has tricked us all buy buying one superstar in the last 3 windows ALEXIS, OZIL and CHEC great players but can't do it all
on their own, spending huge amount of
money and saying we can buy the best players,
on the surface this looks great we are buying top top players big prices but instead of spending his usual 50 mill
on 2, 3, 4, 0r 5 players he has pulled the wool over are eyes with 1 superstar thinking the fans are that dumb enough to believe it, infact he has never spent his budget only balanced
on sales too purchases, i love arsenal but this summer i hope for more he needs to do that consistently through out the team spend the same amount
on the team stop balancing the american owners, grow a pair say yes we will buy a top
defender and a world class striker, stan we love arsenal please be one of us do whats needed then you will fell proud as we are and we will adore you for it.
He paid that kind of
money on Sanchez and Ozil, but will never pay
on a
defender like Ramos or even Hummels
# 35m for Mustafi is a world class price for a
defender, Alexis was bought for the same amount of
money, we are simply over paying for Mustafi because Wenger dithers and dilly dallys early
on in the transfer window now we are desperate paying Valencia
money that their player is not worth!
Right now steve bould needs to be fired, sitting there being known as a DIE HARD
defender and watch arsenal capitulate
on several occasions, its obvious you are there for the
money, because any decent
defender could not, would not bear to see this and if he could not get is defensive idea across would resign
So Arsenal fans will be expecting that the boss not only spends some decent
money in the transfer market, but that he does it
on a
defender and a defensive midfielder.
Wenger is deluded, I wouldn't give him any
money to spend because he would only put it in a trust fund for the board It might not be great after he leaves but we have to try something different.Every team in the prem knows how to handle Arsenal no plan B never mind C & I remember Bold being a great
defender or was I blind but or defense is shocking what is going
on when they train.
give them Chambers or Holding
on loan and buy Evans... that way West Brom get good
money and a young
defender and we get a stop gap decent Centre Back... simples!
They hurry into a formation, he checks the alignment of the corner to be sure what he's seeing, and he takes the easy
money on the comeback against an isolated
defender, all after eyeing the weak - side safety to ensure he knows the defensive alignment.
I think gmv8 is right, there is something sinister going
on behind the scenes, the way the team played today wasn't just usual wenger's fault, yes his time is up and he needs to retire but i think there is more to the team than we know, players weren't communicating with each other
on the pitch, they weren't caring about the game at all, at one of the goals i saw ramsey was talking to another player and not giving a damn about the game at all, there is some internal crisis between players, some probably hate each other, the
defenders and the midfield lost the ball too much that it seemed they are doing it deliberately, some players seem to want out but not gone yet that makes me think they want out not because of
money or the club but because they hate each other, specially Ox and Sanchez!!
So Mr. wenger sign Van djik or schar for 8 - 10 million #, want hummels but i doubt wenger will sign him because he does not spend large

defender but he refused to sign..

We lack ambition at Arsenal we are the big club that is desperate for the title more than others but we are not showing hunger in our business, We have a scouting that is very poor as we have wasted a lot of
Money on the wrong Sanchez is the only great player we have bought for decades, Ozil buy was mistake we had carzorla the we wanted a striker, we wssted money on xhaka, Elneny, chambers, welbeck, mustafi and finally in lacazette he lacks height and physicality to thrive in epl you saw yesterday he was suffocated by Chelsea defenders he did not look a threat at all, but hey let's blame Kreonke for paying the highest wage bill in Europe for Deadwoods... pooor management poor Arsenal what do you e

money saved

Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs
on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved
on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the
defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed
on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building
on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence
on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find
money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time
on the training table as
on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought
on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger
on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
Whether or not that still makes him an appealing option remains to be seen, but
on the face of it, for a top - class
defender with plenty of experience and quality at a high level, that could still represent a very good deal in terms of value for
money and so perhaps Chelsea could eye up a fresh bid next year.

defender Samuel Umtiti and Real Madrid's Raphael Varane are

well good for me if ozil is clicking and not wilshere cause spending a huge chunk of
money on him shows he needs to assist for that Walcott must be there to support him and relieve pressure
on alexis so therefore i will choose Ramsey
on the basis of good work rate once Wenger signs a defensive midfielder or with a
defender i would be great!
Gabriel will demand a move soon if he continue to be left
on the bench, Mr Wenger had enough quality
defenders at the club to work with, spending 35 million
on transfer fee for Mustafi is a waste of
money and can be considered lazy management from Mr Wenger base
on what he already has.
I will say it again, if Wenger were to splash
on Isco or James Rodriguez right now rather than an average overpriced striker or
defender, I'll think its
money well spent.
I already gave up hope
on new striker but still hope we can get in a top central
defender I don't think he is
money pinching or indecisive though as Xhaka is the most expensive DM in this transfer window, more expensive than Kante and way more expensive than Krychowiak.

money you spend
