Samba came from the French league right? How much did Blackburn sign him for? Was he that good on the French league or was it good English coaching that turned him into the player we're now interested in?
There are players out there that we could have possibly made good use of but they've gone to the lower league clubs. We don't use our scouts as much as we used to because we're heavily invested in this youth set up.
And when we do for players like koscienly we get ridiculed.Originally Posted by Power_n_Glory
That kid cost us £8m. Compare that price with Samba's. It doesn't matter anyway. Not sure if Samba would be the same player if he came straight to Arsenal from the German league.
Wenger has signed a host of defensive flops over the years. The problem isn't financial.
Compare him with how much Vidic or Skrtel cost their clubs.
Could make the same argument about toure, Ashley cole, hell wasn't upson from our academy?
Upson's a turd. Little England stint and he's a great defender all of a sudden. Do me a fackin' favour.
Upson cannot be classed as an Arsenal academy graduate as he joined from Luton at the age of 18.
While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.
As stated numerous times above, our biggest problem isn't financial.
Those who think it is are missing the point.
The King Is Back.
Exactly
Yeah, that's a desperate argument.
