Having sold Nasri and Fabregas who, together with the other players who left, took in £70 million. Meeting the rough £20 million profit that Arsenal need to make. Additionally it's not just about who you buy but their wages as well. It's utterly dishonest to count incoming transfers only.

So who else can do a better job with less than Wenger?
Pardew
Redknapp
Both flying and both combined spent less than Wenger in the summer...

Let's see Pardew do it for 15 years shall we? No one is saying this season is a success but proper football teams don't fire their manager after one bad season. We are not Chelsea. One season at Newcastle does make Pardew a better manager, that's insane.

Tottenham Hotspur spent a fraction of that in the summer and are ahead of you in better form and looking way better in every single way.

Spurs didn't lost two of their best players. If Modric and Bale left then I doubt they would be doing so well. We couldn't keep onto Nasri because his contract would have expired and Fabregas, well everyone knows what happened there.
The window was mismanaged but we need to get into this summer and put it right. It's a bad season and a bad window but that doesn't invalidate all that Wenger's done.

Transfer spending since 2006. Arsenal are bottom. Spurs are forth.
