There were top-top-top signings, its just that he took too long to buy them.
I mean the Higuain deal, why the fuck did he try to dither around the £22m mark ? It was obvious another club would come in for him if we spent that long, should have upped the deal to around £27m or so, and perhaps Real would have accepted it. It got drawn out, and eventually Napoli came in for him.
Same with Jovetic, he ended up going for £22m, Wenger didn't want to pay more than £18m for him. Jovetic was linked to us , in June ? We were the first club to really be linked with him.
Gustavo, just bid and match his wages to what Wolfsburg are paying him. We've cleared enough dogshit of his previous signings for us to free up some cash ?
Cesar, he wants 80k a week, but Wenger would rather pay Bendtner 52 grand
