What point was that? All I know is that Wenger has spent less, bought better players, and won more... |

the point of buying within your means, arsene has been superb, as I said previously, but his club comes with a higher stature to attrack players and with the ability to pay a far more lucarative salary than lower clubs can. Between the two managers I would hazard that there is not a lot in it in terms of net spending/profit due to the likes of Rooney's transfer alone. |

No, there is a big difference actually. We have actually made money in terms of transfers in Wengers tenure. I posted a table on here long ago. I'll try to find it... |

go for it, but as I said, its not about net profit/loss, its about living within your means. Moyes has been vastly restricted in what he can do in comparison to wenger. Wenger has a club with the stature to attract just about anyone he choose and they can afford to pay the wages too. Look at the difference in wage bills between the two clubs, Arsenal are paying nearly £50 million a year more than Everton are, should we factor that into the equation too, if we did then Moyes would be far ahead of Wenger. As I said though, and as some seem incapable of comprehending, this is not a pop at wenger, he's a master in the transfer market, but he's not there on his own, there are other managers as evidenced here who can achieve fantastic things in the transfer market on far less means. |

Can't believe this...Look what Wegner took over & Moyes. Wegner had Bergkamp, Wright, Adams, Seaman, etc etc to build upon. Moyes had nobody and could hardly attract players to the club |

Henry, Vieria, Anelka plus many more have been sold for more than have been bought for. Yes he had a team to build on and could attract big names but he didn't buy names. Henry who was playing on the wing at Juve and Vieira practically taken from AC Milan reserves. |

Henry won a World Cup & had played in the Monaco team that knocke United out of the quarter finals of the CL, the romantic notions that he wasn't well know as completley wide of the mark. |

And don't forget the contacts and clout Wenger has within certain footballing circles in France especially their national academy Clairefontaine. Both managers are very good for transfers. |

Wenger is living within his means. We built a new stadium and Wenger accepted the financial restrictions that would come with it... |

How many players has Wenger bought who played at Clairefontaine? I can only think of Diaby and Aliadiere... |

Was Henry a big name? Which is what I said. I don't think he was. Alot of players are well known.

so £21 million is the difference between the two basically, hardly a mile away from each other is it. not sure about those figurse though, everton spending £23.1 million in the 05-06 season, swear thats out by about £10 million.... In's Davies - 4 million Koldrup - 5million Neville - undisclosed, alleged to be around £4-5million Valente - 1.5 million Van Der Meyde - undisclosed, alleged to be around £2million stubbs - free out bent - £2million net spend - £15.5 million so that looks to be around £8 million out there, takes us down to a deficit of around £13 million now..... |

Henry, Gallas, Anelka. Arsenal made a fairly tidy sum from selling Anelka didn't they? |
