Fuckers had no intention to spend apparently. We didn't buy an on par Higgy for less than £30 mil, but we were going to pay £45+ mil for Suarez.
Bring it home Arsene, all the way to the close of the window. Might as well be a £70billion transfer fund because we won't be spending a pound of it unless it's on special offer. Gareth Barry is also past use by date so he has to be favourite for a last minute plunge into the transfer skip.

I'm starting to think that we'll be 'lucky' to end up with Barry.
Wenger is a master at adjusting expectations. Sigh.
Why would we be lucky to end up with Barry?....surely if it got to that stage we would be luckier to have no-one sign....for me he's one of the few premiership players out there almost as awful as Aaron Ramsey.
I stopped caring a while ago about our lack of transfer activity i think it was abundantly clear from about three weeks ago that we wouldn't be signing anyone, Wenger has spent his career being stubborn and agonising over transfers.....his original plan i believe was to sign both Higuain and Fellaini but i believe he didn't want to spend the money the players respective clubs were asking (because he has a degree in economics he feels he needs to look at everything as value for money), than there is Suarez who he appreciates as a player he is trying to move from one premier league club to another will probably cost more than market value.....therefore 40million is bid.....but because he has no intention of paying a penny more than a pound more than that this is now dead in the water. And because Wenger is stubborn it's either these players or no-one, Bernard might have been looked at and enquiries made about him but i doubt anything substantial came of it.
For me i will only really care if on top of not signing anyone the guy is awarded a contract extension.....if that happened i would bend my red membership card until it snaps.
hence my use of inverted commas. Believe me we will have a fair share of fans who will use a signing like Barry to absolve Wenger (or the board) of blame for another failed summer in terms of transfer dealings. Ollie, I am looking at you.
Been reading in various places that the Guardian's Amy Lawrence was on BBC Radio last night and apparently the board and Arsene are at odds over spending. Allegedly, the board want to spend big but Arsene doesn't.
Obviously I do not know or claim this to be fact, but Amy Lawrence is a pretty good journalist IMHO, she writes fairly balanced articles and is very pro-Arsenal, she's a fan isn't she?
Anyway, I really hope this is just a rumour and not true.
Sounds true
