Five burning issues faced by Arsenal

FBL-ENG-PR-ARSENAL-TOTTENHAM

4) Transfer Policy

Mesut Ozil

Arsenal’s latest signing, Mesut Ozil.

The hard reality is years of financial imprudence have made Arsenal go stale. The club is desperately crying out for heavy monetary investments, but those in charge have chosen to look the other way. No longer is Arsenal considered in the brackets of the European elite. When there was a golden chance for the issue to be addressed this summer, the manager and the board threw the opportunity away. What happened to our original summer targets? Why did we have to wait till the last day for the signing of Ozil? Was Mesut Ozil the original target? Why didn’t Arsenal sign the ones they first pursued – namely Gonzalo Higuain, Wayne Rooney, Luis Suarez, Luis Gustavo, Lars Bender and Ashley Williams? What were the people in charge up to when the transfer market was open for nearly 83 days? When the Club Executive, Ivan Gazidis, openly stated in June that they had a war chest of £70 million and add to it the additional revenue stemming from the sale of 18 players this summer, why wasn’t all this money invested in strengthening the squad?
