RvP could have had a statue if he'd stayed. I hope he knows that.

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Yup, now he won't really be remembered at any club. Joined ManUre too late in his career to be a hero there (and looks like sulking his way out the door), and to Arsenal fans he's just some bloke who had a good 18 months for us before f--king off...
I would like to see us at the Man Utd level. A net spend of 20-30 million pounds is reasonable when you think about the ticket prices, Arsenals fan following, TV money and CL money. Sure, we cannot compete all the time with the 50-60 million quid transfers but we should be one of the names when it comes to 20-30 million quid range. Players like Costa, Higuain, Dzeko, Draxler etc come in that range.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
That's what we've been working towards. Now we should be able to do it without any bungs from our resident criminal unlike the chavs and gypos who are 100% reliant on the proceeds of crime.
Für eure Sicherheit
We should be thinking bigger than that.....Manks have been spending that for 12/13 years now
PLAYER................ FROM .................FEE .................DATE
Ruud van Nistelrooy...PSV Eindhoven £19,000,000 01 Jul, 2001
Juan Veron...............Lazio £28,100,000 12 Jul, 2001
Rio Ferdinand...........Leeds £30,000,000 22 Jul, 2002

& that's ignoring Cronaldo and Saha for £12+ million each in (£25 million total) 03/04
That's over £220 million !!! at pre-gypos inflated prices and some beyond pre-Chavski inflated prices

I agree.. but I'm considering net spend really. So if we can get Suarez for 50 million (never going to happen) and get 20 million for outgoing player(s), then thats good enough for me. But to not spend a single penny, like what happened this winter transfer window, when the need was visible to every tom dick and harry, was just criminal.
