They could have signed Higuian if they would have paid the money Madrid wanted - the player didn't turn them down. Suarez has been up to all kinds of tricks to get a move (yes, even to Arsenal) yet the club don't stump up the kind of money you would need to for a player like that. They thought they could get him for a cheap 40m buyout clause and when they realised they couldn't, they went quiet. Again, the player didn't turn them down. Luis Gustavo, as if he would turn down Arsenal to go to Wolfsburg? No chance, they just didn't put the money up again! Jovetic the same! They try signing him months ago couldn't get a (cheap) deal done and he went to City for 22m - not exactly wallet busting money really, they were just being cheap again.


And now the season starts and he has bought nobody - again. Not one player (don't mention that french kid, there are a million of them at Arsenal already). Year on year he consistently misses out on top players because he wont spend top dollar. Top clubs don't operate like that.

Arsenal fans have every right to go mad, in my opinion. Their season ticket prices are ridiculous and where does all that money go?? It definitely doesn't go in the transfer kitty! Their fans pay top dollar for a 50 cents team*, its robbery.
