Did he rub two rocks together to get that 40mil? No, he took the clubs money, rolled up to Madrid, then dropped it on one of europes big name players. Then he resigned Flamini on a free. Two no-brainer piss easy transfers. What exactly did you do in the summer that was praiseworthy? Oh yeah he also got rid of Gervinho, who is now destroying Serie A. A rejuvenated Gervinho could have changed todays game.

He had a shit summer, end of story.
Fair point, we lost Gervinho and ended up with Ozil. But I think we can still do well this season, even without Gervinho.
