80M Transfers Budget :shocked:


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he will not be rushing into the transfer market any time soon, despite the announcement of the largest annual turnover ever recorded by a British football club.

The London club published their accounts for the 12 months up until May 31, 2009 and after tax they recorded a profit of £35m. This figure includes the sales of apartments in the old Highbury stadium.

The huge profit, did not include the sales of Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City for a combined fee of £42m. As a result, speculation is rife that Wenger has close to £80m to spend.

However, Arsenal’s manager said yesterday, in a press conference before the Champions League game with Olympiakos tonight: "It is true there is money and people reproach me for not losing money. It is not a personal thing, it is just that I have a squad strong enough to compete."

Wenger added: "We have worked with the young players and I am at a stage where they are now coming through - Diaby, Denilson, Song, Fabregas, Walcott, Vela and Ramsey. There is money to spend but at the moment I am very happy with the squad I have. If after December we need to buy someone else to add to the squad I will do it."

Nicklas Bendtner Crashed his Aston Martin yesterday, came away with just a few cuts and bruises, and will miss the game tonight but should be back by the weekend.

If your car looks like that, i am very surprised there was nothing more serious that happened.

Highest and lowest points in Wengers Career

High-point of his Arsenal career
“To play a whole season unbeaten. No matter how much money any body else has invested, nobody else has done that.”

Low-point of his Arsenal career
“You always keep in your memory the closest thing to you. But losing the Semi-Final of the Champions League last year was the lowest point because we didn’t play at our level.”

I thought the barca final would be in there.

Only 1 down [2 now], we've got the players to finish this game off before half time. Just our defence have been s*** so far this season.

2-4 will be the final score just like I predicted.

And I can't find a bloody good quality stream that works.

I remember liverpool lost their first 3 games last season (or maybe it was the year before last) and they still got through the group stages of the champions league..

You know that Mutu? Didnt he play for Chelsea?
