Well, looks like we will be able to compete with the likes of Reading, Fulham, Norwich after this cash injection. Hopefully we can use half the money to offer psychiatric help to Wenger.

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
it's hard to believe they will because let's not forget, if wenger is still in charge then he won't be splurging out on the market. the recent change in strategy to buy older, more experienced players is as far as he will go. according to the club there is more money there now; the ceo has said so in front of wenger at the agm for two years running.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
but that's not the immediate problem anyway and not most of the fans gripes. even if wenger did go crazy in the transfer market, his managerial ability is not as good as it was and whilst he remains in charge, we'll always have a glass ceiling.

But it's not really the way to make more money because with more experienced and therefore older players won't go for more than we buy them for. The model of buying them young for a few hundred k or in the low millions and then developing them the into a player worth 10x as much makes the business, sorry club, more money.
i think they are becoming more refined in how they do that, in the knowledge that they will make the most from young investments almost certain to stay in the english game. although feo could ruin a lot of those plans, and show the way for other successful kids at arsenal to follow if he leaves as expected in january/summer.
The club turns a big profit every year but the bulk of that is made from players sales, rather than commercial income. From what I've read and heard, if we don't make a profit in the transfer market our figures actually don't really look that impressive. So that's why I think we readily sell.
With an increased revenue stream I think we may be a little more ambitious in the transfer market and be less inclined to sell when the vultures come sniffing. At the moment I'm sure there's money to spend but it has to be on several players rather than 1 or 2 marquee names. With less of a focus on turning a profit from player sales I think, well hope, that we'll move in line with the top clubs.
That or PHW and co will pocket it all and thank us for our interest in their affairs.
Agree on Wenget, stick a fork in him, he's done.

Hillwood wanting to know, that bonus is coming his way.what a wanker

Farmers.
QED I suppose.
I believe I can field this one.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I would hope that we would use our monies a bit more wisely.
£35m for Carroll, £20m for Downing, £20m for Robbie Keane...
Thats a £75m fuckton of donkey right there.
Don't forget Aquilani. In many ways the worst of the lot.
