Vidic cost £7m, Vermaelen was £10m, Hernandez £6m. Evra? Skrtel? Agger? Now I can't be bothered to check all of the transfer fees but there are countless of examples of great players going for low transfer prices. We don't have to sell a kidney. Wenger is famed for his eye for talent yet he persists with dross like Bendtner and Denilson for 3 years instead of buying good squad players. That's nothing to do with money.
