Yes times have changed and Citeh and the Chavs have taken spending to a new level - but we are talking a mindset, a committment and an ambition here - all traits that seem to have ebbed away a bit from Wenger.
Now despite being an Arsenal fan for over 40 years and all that implies, I will ask this. If Citeh and Chavs have reached such a height because they are prepared to spend over half a billion each on players, how come Harry Rednapp can go to Tottenham and have them motivated to where, at the moment, they are title challengers? And in that last sentence, there is a keyword - "motivated".
