Build the results as the team slowly improves and with the results comes the money to fund the next round. Much better than our current scattergun approach. We're not even playing Peres. Chambers has gone missing. Wilshere's string of big pay rises came to nothing, we kept Diaby on 70k for how long? Wenger just isn't very good in the transfer market.
It's the one off wages, if you sign a player of 60 million + that player then wants wages of 250-300k a week and then the other players think why am i not on that, their agents start pushing for contract negotiations or trying to tout them elsewhere....it's what's called a domino effect
