People need to give Wenger more credit for the way he handles the club’s business. Few managers still have the courage and the ability to discover and promote young players instead of buying and overspending. While it is true that success is gained mostly through money, there are cases in which an old school take on football gets you the quality player. The Frenchman repeatedly stated that it`s not right to pay £70-80million for a player and some may agree especially those who think from his perspective.

According to Sky Sports Wenger believes that the current market trend will have clubs paying as much as £200million for a player which is absurd by any standards. He had the following to say on the topic:

“I have said that since I have been in the game that at some point it has to stop, but as long as football continues to develop and becomes more popular, more money will come in.

“What is interesting to see is that today, you have a local business and you just want to survive or you have a world business and the money comes in, whether it is Google, Facebook, football or any other sport, they are worldwide so you can’t set any limitations on the income.”

Wenger went on to say,

“It is not always about spending money or sacking the manager – football has to be a bit bigger than that. I believe the big clubs are also about values and identity and we have to be conscious – that is important as well.”

Wenger also reminded fans that if you do have an eye for talent you can still pay reasonable fees for quality: “I’m 20 years here in England and it is the first time a team like Leicester wins the championship. You can still make fantastic buys at a normal, reasonable price, we saw that with N’Golo Kante last season.

“He was certainly a vital aspect of their chances in the Premier League but they did not keep him so in the longer distance of course it makes a difference.”

With 2 weeks left in the transfer window who knows how the Arsenal squad will look on September 1st.
