Here is a quote from Gary Neville. The man knows his football.
"They’re all going to be going after a group of players that there are not enough of. They’re not the biggest payers in the world and are they going to change that? They’re not the biggest payers of fees or wages.
“It’s all about the club that gets out of the blocks quickest in transfers and goes early. You’ve got to get your business done early. Don’t think it can wait until August and then pick somebody up.
“You’ve got to go early in June and by the end of June you’ve got to have the three players you want and if anybody else comes then fair enough. I think Arsenal have got to go hard and early.
“They’ve spent £9million net in 10 years and maintained the level of consistency of getting in the Champions League.
“They’ve built a football stadium, they’re paying off their debt and they’re nearly there. If they move up now it will look like one of the most magnificent managerial performances when you look back in history.
“Half the Arsenal fans are annoyed because they think they should be doing more and should be doing better, but of all the madness and debt that surrounds football, what they have done is absolutely the right thing.
“What they now need to do, having nearly paid off their debt, is they need to go now. I think he knows, Arsene Wenger, that moment is now.”
