Fabregas then goes to Manure because we couldn't sign both. Not the greatest example but you know what I mean.

Same with Rooney and Higuain. We could probably get Higuain now if we shell out £25m but then what if Rooney becomes available on deadline day because him and Moyes don't get on??

Unless you're Chelsea or City who can just buy multiple players for the same position it must be bloody difficult to do good transfer business.

It's very hard to argue with that logic because it makes sense. However the last two seasons should tell wenger exactly what we need, both Rooney and higuain will improve our team so it's a case of going for the first available one IMO. It's time to take risks now, no waiting because we need to hit the ground running. We finish the seasons well, we now need to start well. Waiting for final week is too late, the players won't know their team mates, season will be underway and will take 2-3 games to get up to speed with our tactics Etc and we can't afford to take that time.

It's a gamble really. Sometimes it'll pay off, sometimes it won't.

The club should be doing all it can to sign up their first choice targets, so then it won't matter so much what others do.

Seeing reports, most recently in The Independent, that Marseille are in the hunt for Gervinho.

Fabregas shouldn't enter into our thinking, if he wants to go to United why agonise about it....just let him go, he's not our player anymore thus not our concern....Fellaini on the other hand is avaliable to us for a reasonable price (23m in this market is a bargain) and after Yaya Toure he is the best central midfielder in the league so why let anything else cloud our reasoning.
And as for Rooney....i don't want that tub of goo at our club....he's only put in a transfer request because he's angling for more money (either at United or in a big money move to City or Chelsea), he was crap last season and is well past his best.
Higuain is two years younger has a consistently good goal scoring record and is at the prime of his career and frankly would be worth shelling out 30million for let alone 25.
As far as i'm concerned Wenger is baulking at Transfer prices because he knows that it will take away his excuse for not winning things if he has dusted off his cheque book.

Really good post! Especially about ******* not having the bottle to spend 25m on one player. After all the hype, this will be another summer of dissapointment. Oh well, one more season of Mr Wenger(hopefully).
