WENGER FINALLY PREPARED TO SPEND BIG AT ARSENAL...
Arsene Wenger has said he is ready to spend the money raised by the sale of four of his front-line players during the summer. The Arsenal manager has seen Cesc Fabregas, Gael Cliché and Emmanuel Eboue leave the Emirates Stadium and it seems almost certain Samir Nasri will move to Manchester City. The clubs have agreed a £25m deal for the midfielder.
Those sales would raise around £70m for the club, who are not certain to qualify for the Champions League after a narrow 1-0 first-leg victory over Udinese in London. Some at Arsenal have criticised their manager for not buying top-range footballers to meet the challenge of Manchester City and Manchester United.
However, Wenger argued he was prepared to spend £30m on a single player. “I will even pay £40m if the right footballer was available,” he said. “I have a false reputation for not wanting to buy expensive players but I will not spend money on average footballers.”..
