Clearly Wenger knows we've lose Sanchez and knows we needed to replace him, he also knows this doesn't affect the clubs profitability, the other thing is the only other time Wenger spent in the January transfer window was when top 4 was at stake, which it is this time round, so he's lost Sanchez and top 4 is on the line, so it's very feasible he's want to spend to make sure he gets top 4 (Aubameyang after all can't play in the Europa and at 28 won't be around too long for any new manager).
Not denying the new guys have recommended certain players, but not convinced this is a changing of the guard either, Wenger has another year on his contract after this season and has said before he loves the game and doesn't know what he'd do without it, moreover Gazidis (if you believe rumours) wanted him out in the summer but he stil got a new 2 year contract, so if he wants it and the club is making money the contract will be there again.
