He might be on Manchester City's radar now or even Arsenal.

If he keeps scoring in the competition he'll probably be out of Arsenal's reach

Arsenal confuse me with their transfer capacity. I know Wenger favours the cautious approach but I'm not sure about how much they could potentially spend. I'm sure I read somewhere that they were in the top 5 clubs in the world financially. This was prior to Man City's buyout though.

Yep. Published April this year:

1. Manchester United - $2.235bn (£1.396bn)

4. Arsenal - $1.292bn (£807m)
5. Bayern Munich - $1.235bn (£770m)
6. AC Milan - $989m (£615m)
7. Chelsea - $761m (£473m)
8. Liverpool - $619m (£385m)
9. Juventus - $591m (£367m)
10. Schalke 04 - $587m (£365m)
11. Tottenham Hotspur -$564m (£351m)
13. Manchester City - $443m (£275m)

wtf do they do with it

Paying off the stadium?

Wenger needs to definitely add more quality if Arsenal are going to sustain a challenge towards the 2 Manchester clubs because the likes of Tottenham, Newcastle and even Liverpool all will go out and spend lots of money to try and challenge for the top 4 next season.

Ivan Rakitic- Croatia midfielder who plays his club football for Sevilla FC.

[King Gizzard]

I like Badelj for Croatia

[KG.]

Dzagoev Can't see how he missed that second chance though.

Reckon Van Der Wiel will have a decent competition too.

[bbfan1991]

Van Der Wiel is another one linked with Chelsea, how are they going to keep making these signings with no manager installed yet and frankly not caring about the FFP?

[King Gizzard]

Jetro Willems for Holland and Adam Maher (if he even gets a chance which is doubtful)

[KG.]

Olsson could do well for Sweden too, and he's another one linked with Chelsea

Jonas?

I have got Sweden on the TIBB Sweepstake!

Nah Martin Olsson, apparently Chelsea were looking to take him from Blackburn as a long term replacement for Ashley Cole, I guess we'll see if he's capable enough in Poland/Ukraine.

Is he really good enough? I think Ryan Bertrand is a young lad who has lots of potential but they are wasting some of this young talent by keep splashing the cash and not even giving some of the academy lads a chance...

[King Gizzard]

I'd have him here..better than warnock

then again anyone's better than warnock

[bbfan1991]

Erik Peters is a good Dutch LB too. He was linked with Newcastle last season before they opted to sign Davide Santon.

It's a confusing one. Is it Wenger not spending? Or the board stopping him?

We'll probably only ever know the answer if Wenger is sacked or leaves and cites finances as the reason.
