Sadly Dein going and getting Kronke involved in the club was were it all went horribly wrong. I dont think Wenger has ever gotten over his sacking and it messed his ability to win titles up. His reluctance to get someone like a director to replace Dein hasnt helped which is why he needs to clear off.

Clubs like Tottenham who are (re)building their stadium right now have done great business compared to the Arsenal board.
It was the best time to make those move seriously

Tottenham have not bought a single player this summer as they get ready to move into their new stadium. They have stalled.

They were always a bit tight.
Now they’ll become misers.

How the hell have they managed to hold on to Kane, Alli, Alde, Erickson, Vertongen, Lloris? It’s beyond me.

Levy and co didn't agree, froze him out of the first team for the majority of last season and slapped a £55m price tag on him, which United failed to meet.
Yes his contract expires at the end of the season, but there is a clause in his contract that allows Spurs to extend his deal with an additional year without needing his 'consent' for a second time as these are the terms both parties agreed to when he was first signed.
Once this particular extension clause is triggered, a release clause of £25.4m becomes active.
