    Actually I think xabi alsonso is the only player of note we've missed out on because we wouldn't pay the extra.

    Yeah, he definitely would have chosen us over Real Madrid...

    Real Madrid came in after we wouldnt pay up so it wouldnt have been a case of us or Real but of course, some people would do anything to back Wenger and make things up

    Well, the only player who was made public anyway.

    We also sold Song, that's 2 first teamers out (and a few others on their way out).

    The signings have been good this year, but we're really only one player up, in addition I think we've recovered all the money we spent. IMO seeing as we've lost two players we need to add a couple more, if we stopped here it would be the equivalent of making on signing (if we hadn't sold), though you could argue RVP was more valuable than the average player to us, we bought replacements but not at the same level as him (at this stage anyway), he's one of the best in the world and neither of our forwards are at the moment.
