Arsenal do have the money, they just don't want to spend it. Usmanov is an Uzbek billionaire (and all-round nasty person) but he's been availing his money to the club for some time now and they've avoided spending it. Dunno why. Maybe winning a propaganda battle if they can replicate ManYoo's success without the £30m+ players. Arshavin was a real shock in that respect, but I think they would be in 5th place now without him.

Looks like Usmanov is going to get his way and Wenger is going to splash the cash.
