Nuri Sahin

We've failed to sign players in the past due to penny pinching (Xabi Alonso springs to mind, and the same thing nearly happened with Arshavin). Sometimes our single minded focus on cost minimisation causes problems on the football side of things. Hopefully the same doesn't happen with Sahin (although tbf it looks like the deal will go through)

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...

It was us not paying the extra £2m that tipped him over the edge tbf.

Rafa trying to replace him with Gareth fucking Barry probably helped though.

Gareth fucking Barry.

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 sold our best player of last year, rvc, and replaced him with giroud, podolski and cazorla, i think thats suffcient reinvestment dont you?

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.

I think you meant to quote GP.
