"Spending £30M on him is absurd, he's worth half that at most..."

...said the WOB that is telling us Wenger is a ditherer and not ruthless in the market.


Not sure if the amount of money is right. Some quotes saying we are paying £25M + 5M add ons

When did I last say Wenger is a ditherer? A lot more wrong with Wenger than his transfer policy. Like managing a squad with Ozil, Cazorla, Alexis and Cech and still finishing 10 points behind Leicester

You criticise him for not buying and paying extra for a player he is convinced to improve us. We are the first team to pay that amount of money and it's not even June.

I agree with you on his valuation though. Think Wenger for the first time made up his mind early and weeks ago.

Is he better than what we got though?

Yea that is one of my criticisms of him. Doesn't mean he should recklessly overspend on somebody who isn't THAT good. The same way I didn't want him to spend £60M on a £30M striker like Benzema last summer

I guess this confirms next season's kit then. Good to see a Puma kit without any silly gimmicks.
