Read in today's paper over here(Daily Telegraph if anyone's interested) that Arsenal have bugger all money to spend this summer.
Apparently Wenger thas accepted the situation & is content to stick with his current squad or finance new recruits by selling, although just about the only player who would raise any decent money who isn't a player that we have to keep is Franny Jeffers
Even the new contract talks for Vieira & Pires could go wrong as they aren't going to be able to get the kind of raises that they probably expect.
It's all abit of a shame that just as we have probably the best side in our history, & under normal cicrcumstances we would have enough money to make the kind of signings that we need ie new golaie & new centre back, that the new Stadium proiject is eating into our transfer funds.
I would be more confident taking into account the number of fine young players we have coming through if it wasn't for the fact that AW is very cautious when putting them into the first team.
Well next season it has to be now or never for the older ones of this current crop.
If we go into next season with the present central defenders then we'll win nothing of that I'm sure.
