Wenger hints that Arsenal will keep making BIG transfers

I was one of the many Arsenal fans that was getting very close to blowing my top at times during the summer. The Gunners were already well behind a large number of Premier League clubs when it came to the record transfer fee paid, and once the deals for Higuain and Suarez were dead in the water, it looked as if that would stay the same. When Tottenham broke their club record for the third time in a matter of weeks, I could have quite cheerfully put a cricket bat through my television screen, but us Arsenal fans are used to pain, and having to be patient, and were certainly rewarded with the marquee signing of the summer, Mesut Ozil. We all hope that this deal is the first of many big transfers, as Arsenal throw off the financial shackles and get back to where we belong, at the top. Wenger has been speaking about the club’s financial situation and he sounds like a man who is planning to make many more similar signings in the future. Wenger said, “As you know as well, what is very important for us is to find world-class players. There are not plenty around. “We had to go through some years when I signed a long term contract where we had some restricted financial potential. And the target was to stay in the Champions League in this period and we managed to do it. We are now in a strong position financially.” So the club has got plenty of money to spend and will have even more from now on, while Wenger is determined to bring in world class players. Hmmm, interesting. I think we are all going to enjoy transfer windows a lot more from now on.
