Edu should have been sacked just for that, one of the best keepers in the world sold and now he is preparing a bid of £30m for Sheffield United's English goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, how stupid is this guy FFS :BangHead:

That's criminal, no words for that.

Kroenke is being fleeced.

At our very best, under the first years of Wenger, we rarely went for those players considered the 'best'.

True.

Who had heard of Vieira, Petit, Anelka, Ljungberg, and many more?

All fairly anonymous signings who turned out great.

Phil the royalist,
You are revising history. Vieira and Henry were not unknown. They were in Italy and considered top talents. It’s just that they hadn’t fit into their respective teams and Wenger had a reputation in France that attracted them to him. After all they were both members of France 98 so hardly nobodies. I think Henry was even a record signing at the time. Petit was Monaco captain when he joined us and someone known to Wenger from his Monaco days. There are many other such examples like Wiltord who were accomplished players. Not everyone Wenger bought was unknown or a punt.

Arsenal have been told by Sheffield United to raise their offer for 32-year-old Aaron Ramsdale to more than £32m after having two bids rejected for the goalkeeper :rolleyes:

Maybe they’ll sell Saka for 5 mil and add it to the 27 mil they got for Emi. I wouldn’t put it past them.

But that's a lot of money to pay, pity we didn't keep Emi, time will tell if he was worth the dosh.
