Lol this is nothing compared to other clubs.
The market were inflated, he didnt even spends much compared to other clubs.
Wenger consistently qualifies us to CL which gave the board money and usually lasting until top 16 and top 8 (the longer you last, more money you make).
And placing higher on EPL also gives you more money, and he consistently placing top 4.
But now, Emery cant even qualifies us to CL making us lose money.
I think even the board are not happy with emery.
Actually, the reason why you think we did not spend much is because you only look at transfer fees but not at the wages. If you look at the wages, it is always very high because of his wage policy. And the thing is, at his final years, you can see that most of the players were average but yet we are still paying high wages. Because Wenger wage policy is players is a socialist kind of policy whereby the wage gap is very narrow. This does not make sense because then it's going to be very hard to pay salary to say players like C Ronaldo, or RVP because they will demand very high salary.
The thing is people always look at the transfers but then they forget that wages is also a major part of the expenditure and arsenal wages has always been at the very high end. Of course considering the fact that he manages to qualify for the CL every season so that is why we can overlook this. But then the thing is, it could have been much better if this is managed properly. Also, when you look at arsenal squad, it seems pretty much oversize. That is why there was a massive selling spree to get rid of fringe players who are on massive wages. The thing is, those players are sell at below cost because the club has to get rid of those players quickly.
If you look at the way transfers are being done. This is too obvious. I just dunno how Arsene fails to learn espacially during the RVP saga that letting players go to the final year of the contract is never ideal. And he did this with Sanchez and Ozil as well. He could have easily sold Sanchez for 70 million pounds but yet choose not to do so in the last moment.
Anyway. doing good business in transfer is pretty much important right now. If you look at the clubs who are successful right now, they all do good business in transfer. Like Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Leicester. On the underhand, Arsenal is in a downward spiral because they mess up in the transfer side and the wage side.
If Wenger continue, I think the club would have been in really big trouble. It's unsustainable the wages and also the average players that are in the club. The thing is, I think the board would have probably allowed him to stay one more year if he did not mess up . But then the thing is, the problem is not only on field but off field as well. If he continues, the club would not have recovered. The wage was for champions league yet he is now playing in Europa.
But then we never expect to see another joker right now. The thing is, the management is a joke. Paying 6 million is better then risking all the important players leaving. The thing is. CL qualification via league is impossible now. We can only qualify through Europa but then as you know. Anything can happen in cup competition and to be honest, looking at the mess. I think it's hard.
As I have said, better to get rid of him and then get a credential manager right now because if you use ljunberg, i am pretty sure most of the players are going to leave and arsenal will just become a mid table club from now onwards.
Incredible how much 10 years can do. 10 years ago, arsenal have a good future. Now, to be honest, there is a possibility of becoming another nottingham forest.
