This sounds ironic to me...that coming from the same Newcastle United that sold Andrew Carroll to Liverpool for £30 million?
......and if that statement comes from Arsenal, they would have asked for Arsene's head!

If you are club you want to sell your players for as much as possible and buy them for as cheap as possible. Its not ironic really, it's common sense

Andy what his name again is a fantastic player. He was underpriced.

Yeah you are right, but we all know the usual general response in the media and even from some of our fans!
Usual headlines...
Wenger believes in "cheap" foreign players
Wenger doesn't want to invest on British talents like Caroll
French revolution: Wenger goes to Paris to recruit "cheap" players
Wenger says to hell with British players
Wenger doesn't want England to win the world cup because he can't buy them
British players: I can't buy you because you are too overpriced, says Wenger
Wenger says this, Wenger says that!

Aston Villa top scorer Christian Benteke, 22, plans to leave the relegation-threatened club at the end of the season. Arsenal are believed to be favourites to buy him, although Chelsea and Manchester City are also interested

Zaha, Wickham, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott
In no other league would a team in the top division spend £10m+ on a young unproven player who's had one one good season. In England, it happens all the time
