It had been assumed that
where big money transfers and players contracts had been concerned, the board had tied Wenger's hands.
Not exact matches
so again I ask
where the FACK is the
money from the BT sports deal that has been feted as being the
biggest deal for sports broadcasting ever??? I don not and CAN NOT believe that our running costs each season leave us with only around 35 to 40 million to spend on
transfers each year??
i don, t know
where you got that 57millions figures and that all arsenal
money in the bank was» tied up», as recently as 3 weeks ago it was reported (as per the swiss ramble) that arsenal had the
biggest cash reserves in world football of 159millions and this was without taking into account the tv, s rights
money which this year is being paid earlyer before the
transfer window opens with arsenal topping the list ahead of leicester (93mils) with 101millions (figures confirmed by the premier league).
Given the flawed prices for the Seri A rights
where only sky bid at half the cost, they have delayed the auction until later in the year so clubs don't know how much
money they will have for next season so feel they will hold onto
money and not make
big bids in this
transfer window until this is decided.
The thing that really bothers me is the thing we've disagreed on in the past and that's imo Wengers apparent lack of Urgency and decisiveness when moving into the
transfer window I know that Scheweinsteiger would be a great addition but He is somewhat over the hill in comparison to the others that are being toted about and while I know that we are not the cash Rich Man Poo or Man Sh!tty or Chelski I do know that we are at a point for the first time in ten years
where we don't need to replace many players or are being frced to sell the quality ones we have, we are for the first time in a spot
where we only need to add two or three players and we are there in terms of being able to compete, Id hate for the financial Exuberance to stop us taking that final stride forward into the competitive team we nearly are IMO spend the
money now, get the striker, get the DM and we wont need to look at
transfers in a
big way again for several seasons and with that in mind Id rather have the likes of Benzema or Lacazetta or even Cavanni than a nearly over the hill Scheweinsteiger.
The European
transfer window might have closed but in China,
where much of the
big money is being splashed about, another month of spending lies ahead.
