I wonder where 41 Million went after the sales of Adebayor and Toure. Wenger has the money just chooses not to spent it.

You know players like Overmars, Anelka, Petit & Lungberg were WC talents before they arrived at Arsenal & they were bought for record amounts.
Also Wenger only caught on with bringing in foreign players after other clubs did it.
The plain matter of fact is that the EPL had predominantly UK based players with a few foreigners in teams. UK players were damn expensive & Wenger took the time to actually scout,watch & personally see to it to convince foreign players to join Arsenal.Hell he even helped players assimilate. He goes the extra mile to make a youth prospect feel wanted & part of his long term plan.

List these cheap, quality experienced players? For a 17yr old to be an experienced player he would have had to play first team football for a top flight team at the age of 14/15.So yeah that aint happen.
Do you know the intricate details of why Hangeland didn't join Arsenal? Until you provided proof you're just thumb sucking.
How do you know that Nasri's transfer fee wasn't paid in installments? You simply don't like Arsenal & it's pretty evident.

I said possible but very difficult 
, if you're trying to say that Wenger and his network of scout couldn't do it then you're being naive.
Does anybody except a select few know those reasons? it wasn't as if the rumors materialised and the deal broke down at the 11th hour. Hangeland was there, so was Vermaelen, Vermaelen was singed instead of Hangeland it'd be impossible to stell how close the club was to getting him, as in nearly every other transfer on the planet.
I was unaware that only Samir Nasri could have a transfer payed in installments I must have missed the meeting where they changed the rules to only include young players.
I've never withheld my dislike for Arsenal, and never will. I've explained it on several occassions. So essentially what you've done is try to discredit my points by making erroneous statements that can't stand up of their own accord.

Most of those players wanted to move on, there was nothing Wenger could do about it.
Wait, are you seriously suggesting that Hangeland would have been a better signing than Vermaelen?
Thomas has been one of the best centerbacks in the league this season, just the thought of you comparing the two players makes me want to end this discussion right now.
Reminds me of the times when people here called Barzagli the next Cannavaro

I do expect you to know because you're coming off as an all things Arsenal expert.My point is you make judgements about choosing Vermaelen over Hangeland but you don't know if Fulham wanted to jerk Arsenal around & ask for more.Anyway Vermaelen>>>>>Hangeland.
I never knew that you didn't like Arsenal,so unfortunately that news for me. I just drew my own conclusion.

you're coming off as an all things Arsenal expert.Vermaelen>>>>>Hangeland.

Not too much point in continuing this, given fudemental disagreements over value and ability of certain players/clubs.
int:Really? I thought everyone knew. I've actually detailed why as well, not just presenting hatred.
