Wenger is really weirding me out.

A surprising £42.5m supposed "one-off" splash on Ozil last year followed by £35m on Sanchez followed by £16m!! on Chambers this year. That last one I'd expect to see from Fergie's United. I don't know what to feel any more! This isn't the Arsenal I grew up with

I hope this becomes a habit. I cannot wait to see who we get next summer.

@j99 real almost always over pay for every signing i.e Ozil at bremen release clause was 7m they paid like 12-14m from memory. James was over the top tho, however they recouped a lot from his shirt sales already.

I remember Wenger wanted Ozil at the time. But the player wanted to stay in Germany for the world cup. If we had offered him higher wages I think he would have changed his mind. But obviously there was no will or probably the finances to do so. After the world cup Real Madid offered wages and chances of winning trophies beyond us! So he went there.

I believe we are in a better position now to compete in the market. However we still haven't won anything major for years. Bayern, City, Chelsea, Man Utd, Madrid, Barca all have. Thats why I think its very important to kick on and win the premier league as quickly as possible.

Wenger seems to be strengthening to do so. I think we are still a top striker away from that but window is still open. I think the major trophies will put us well into the virtuous circle.

Why is it weirding you out? Wenger has stated many times that since we moved to a new stadium we would have to go through a barren time in terms of spending. Last year signalled the end. Why are you surprised we are signing? Unleses you believed the morons who stated that Wenger is some kind of penny pincher afraid to spend cash

How is buying something that you earned the same as having it bought by some rich sugar daddy?

who do you respect

A man who built his money up or a rich brat who inherited his daddies money and done nothing to earn his wealth ?

Wenger now has the money to match his ambition, that was the reason we built the stadium.

Yeah amazing that isn't it, that the shirt sales pay for all their players. Nothing to do with them raping the TV revenue or being bailed out by the government.

Bitter!

Who me?

Never.

Ozil is on way to becoming the most overrated player to play in the PL closing in on Bergkamp

Ozil overrated? Quite the contrary with handicaps like you putting him down.
Enjoy the half decent Januzaj. And leave the world class maestros to us.
