Rightly or wrongly Wenger only buys value.

£5m loan fee and £85k per week for a player who played 11 games last year, has no Prem experience and will fuck off at the end of the season doesn't represent value to him.

Of course it could blow up in his face if he turns out to be a star at Liverpool and we're left with Ramsey and Diaby in the middle :shudder:

I get the feeling Wenger will only ever pay over the odds if he feels the player is super super super quality i.e the next Messi or Ronaldo. He must think the Ox is pretty damn good as he paid a fortune for him.
