Further, why sign a French CB when Chaill or Jagielka or Samba are already here in the PL and could hit the ground running? What's the point? These lot sound like more additions to Wenger's project which even he must be sensing has utterly failed. Don't know why we can't just get some PL talent in, toughen up and start the fight back immediately, why do we need to blow money that could be used constructively?Quote:

Even if they are more expensive? We've done it the other way for years now and it hasn't worked. What have we actually saved by bargain bin shopping in Europe and South America? We can't even get rid of some of the dross we've signed, players that provide nothing to the team. Isn't that even worse than paying tax, chucking money down the drain week after week on players like Carlos Vela?Quote:

We wasted two months insisting we wouldn't get shafted on the price and then got shafted on the price.
Could have gotten this pitiful 29M euros earlier and then reinvested it so that our signings would have time to acclimatize and we won't be looking for a replacement for our captain the day we play a CL qualifier.
That said, the money isn't going to be invested anyways. Can't wait till Wenger gtfo's our once majestic club.
