Arsenal could have rebuilt a whole team for £38 mil. Having sold so far for £46 million.
Wenger you absolute
Never as simple as that.......Inter Milan couldnt afford De Jongs wages - so i doubt we could. If you pay one player big bucks (esp a midfield lump like that) then others ie Walcott will have reason to demand more. Id only have Vert off that list to be honest....Dempsey is good - but id rather take Yossi back myself!
2. If Spuds can afford Dembele wages, we certainly can. We have CL cash and £3 mil a game, no excuses. Dembele was on £25k a week at Fulham and Spuds have doubled it....meaning Dembele is still being paid less than Chamakh, Diaby, Denilson, Bendtner, Djourou and Shitachi. FACT.
3. If Walcott demands more, laugh at the imbecile and sell him. Fact is Arsenal do not have a single player who is good enough to make wage demands. Almost every last one of the people in that current squad, Cazorla, Vermaelen and Sagna excluded, are to my mind, nobodies in football. If Chesney, Gibbs and Jenkinson start asking for more then let them go and find a PL club that would let them drive the team bus, yet alone pick them and pay them!!
DB10 I have to disagree with your assessment of Dempsey - yes he ain't xavi or ineista quality but he is a proven international player that would bring in a regular supply of goals plus he would be a huge upgrade on feo and isn't improving our team what this should be all about ? We have long since accepted that our days of competing at the top level of the transfer market are gone forever (or at least until wenger and kroenke fcuk off 
) so we need to shop in the next tiers down and IMO Dempsey is in that bracket - top top quality he isn't but still more than good enough for us especially at that fee. He has since turned down villa cos he wants to go to the victims but I reckon staying in London for champs lge football would be more important for him
