Besides Campbell was an established England international with around 40 appearances by the time he joined Arsenal. Cahill has played just 3 times and is already 25.

Look at it this way.

Who else in this transfer window would offer better value when all things considered?

Its a sellers Market, players have power. Were completely unable to accept this and would rather jeopardise the squad than be pragmatic in this slanted market.

You've mistaken player sales and one off property developments as evidence that were rich.

Were not, the pure footballing side minus transfers, actually makes a loss(wages vs tv/matchday revenue and commercial deals). That's before we consider dept repayment.

Clichy v Enrique Tackles 111-61, Duels won 58%-50%, Aerial Duels won 51%-32%, Blocks 8-9 Clearances 150-61, Interceptions 105-58
