oh and as Niles Crane has said for the 35 or 50mil you can buy a whole squad but then some of those players Niles Arsenal managed to get on the cheap but if selling now VP would go for 20m or a bit higher even but not much.

This transfer window makes it perfectly obvious why Wenger doesn't like buying English players though. Bent = 24 million and Carroll for £35 million. It takes quite something to top the stupid transfer fees in Football but Liverpool have pulled it off.

They pulled them off cheap but they weren't hyped English players and they weren't established. Much cheaper but if the likes of Chelsea and Man City and keep paying players at the top of their games you wonder what the advantage is.
Incidentally one of Arsenal's targets, Hazard, would cost us £20 million or more to buy.
Also, are Spurs really not going to buy anyone? 'Arry's gonna explode
