We finish where we should finish, Arsenal might not spend big in terms of net transfer fees but doesnt mean we dont spend big on wages. I wouldnt say Wenger has overachieved, consistency is difficult but with the CL as it is, it is easier to keep the others at bay when all football is about is playing CL football.
Next season I think will be more difficult, Liverpool would have the CL money to spend and also having won the league players will look to gravitate there. The Chavs and Citeh will buy a quality striker (chavs) and quality defender (citeh). United will bring in a good manager with a large warchest. So if we dont invest properly then we are only a long term injury to Ramsey away from struggling.
