Welbeck was highly rated by AW, hence why we bought him.
Wenger himself said he would NOT have signed Welbz had be been in the country.
That's Wenger tight arse for you, even with an injured Giroud, he was busy in Italy on TDD, and didn't want to spend "his" money. He wanted him though, look at the rest of his statements from that interview.
Well both parts of what you said can't both be true?
Either he wanted him and didn't mind spending the money or he didn't want him? Only other suggestion is that he thought it was going to be a loan because initially Wele wasn't up for sale.
