Wengers press conference this morning - some quotes about Mkhi and Sanchez..
Sanchez transfer
“Yes it is likely to happen. But any minute things can break down. That’s how the transfer market is."
Mkhitaryan coming to Arsenal?
“Yes that is my understanding. I like the player. The wages will not be a problem."
Aubameyang?
“I have nothing to add to that. This kind of thing is better when it’s secret."
On not selling Sanchez in the summer
“Look, the problem was similar to what it is today. I only accept to let him go if somebody comes in instead of him."
How much did Arsenal offer Sanchez?
“We did the maximum we could afford to do, maybe one day I will come out with the numbers on that."
Can Arsenal not compete?
“Financially, yes. But that does not mean we cannot compete on the pitch.
“There is no mystery that United and City have more resources."
On Sanchez potentially getting £500,00-a-week at United.
“I do not want to comment on the numbers they offer to Sanchez. I respect Man United because they raise the money they pay to players with their own resources. It’s up to them how much they pay.
“United is a club very well managed financially so I don’t have any problem with what they pay."

Wenger is scared to spend money because it would mean putting his head on the chopping block. Every myth that surrounds Wenger has now been exposed. I have always said that David Dein never got enough credit for the successes that we had early 2000s.

They just got a slap on the wrist, they got smarter and have since discovered it's very easy to circumvent the FFP rules. Now they are back at the very top. Meanwhile, PSG spent £222 on one player and still did not violate the rules. Man U have these massive sponsorship deals which help them circumvent the rules. There are many ways to get round the rules. Arsenal need a streetwise manager who moves with the times, not an old, clueless, arrogant idiot like Wenger.

Love how Wenger made a dig at other.cluba by saying United raise there own money so they can spend it like they want.

We don't have sponsorship deals to help get around the rules
We have genuine massive sponsorship deals with companies that want to pay us to wear/present their brand.

I think your number is off by a factor of ten? In any case, sooner or later these players coming to teams, who already have expensive stars, will be a cause for internal unrest and jealousy!

He's right though, they've been far ahead financially for 20 years now, helped that they won things, pity we couldn't follow suit.
