I’ve been saying for a while I don’t think we will have the spending power this summer. We’ve spent a lot by our standards in recent years. Ozil, Auba and Laca are all on bumper contracts too, the sort of wages that could rival what the Manchester clubs pay.
People often said they’d rather Wenger wasn’t given another penny to spend because a lot of his signings since we became able to spend big have been more misses than hits. That was tounge in cheek but I think we are seeing the fallout from that now.
We will have to be clever with who we sign. We have made the most important signing already though - Emery. If his coaching can elevate the game of certain players and ensure we become more of well oiled team then that’s good enough for me.
