If spending £30m on one player this summer puts us in financial trouble then i must seriously question our financial state.
We dont need players. We have enough of those. We need quality players and that we have hardly any of and that unfortunately costs money.
Keep buying midtable players for cheap and we eventually become a mid table side.
and some managers can be too cautious at it!
just as some managers can be too ambitious at it!
‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
So wenger can be less cautious and grow a pair and spend what he has got to address serious problem areas in the squad. WE DO NOT NEED A SUGAR-DADDY for that.
‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!
ok, boss.

seriously youve gone mental
The problem is nobody knows or can define financially constricted or limited spend. We're financially constricted in comparison to Chelsea & Citeh because they have unlimited funds so to speak, but are we really that restricted compared to everybody else.
That quote from Ivan just backs up what everybody already knows anyway, Arsene sets his valuation on a player & if the selling club wants more Arsene wont entertain the deal.
I say this quite a bit on here but "a glass of water is worth a fortune to a man dieing of thirst". This is how I view our situation at times and why I'm baffled to why Arsene isn't a little more flexible in the market.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the impression I got from watching the AST interview was that:
We have to be "efficient" in the transfer market
We have a limited budget for new players, have to live within our means
We have a one time fund for purchases (IE, we can't spunk +20mill on players every window, we may do it this summer because FFP starts next season)
And that includes consideration on wages, fee's and everything else as there's no distinction as far as the board is concerned. So 2 10mill player signings takes about 30mill from whatever kitty we had.
Seemed quite depressing to hear actually.
Okay, who and when was the last top level player that Man U bought?
Smalling
Lindegaard
Bebe
Hernandez
Obertan
Diouf
Valencia
Owen
While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.
sure, if that's what you call stating facts and repeating them to those who keep ignoring them.
