Often clubs you think are being big-spenders are actually recouping a lot of the costs with player sales.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hi Danny,<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>From memory I think Wenger spent big at the start then recouped a ton of money with the sale of Anelka and Overmars etc.<BR/><BR/>A 10-year transfer table would make interesting reading though. I've also been collecting historic wage costs and plan to combine the two sets of figures as soon as I get all the info.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147033073887573903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096491068636681987.post-82656985705914408332008-02-15T09:43:00.000+00:002008-02-15T09:43:00.000+00:00It's -11 you numpty.

Arsenal have sold players at the opportune moment. Wenger really does know when to get rid and he always buys the players he wants.<BR/>We should definately take note.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096491068636681987.post-13437448383214206012008-02-15T09:20:00.000+00:002008-02-15T09:20:00.000+00:00> figures in brackets are profits.The most amazing...> figures in brackets are profits.<BR/><BR/>The most amazing thing is Aresenal with a progit of 7.9 mill in the last 5 years and now sat with a 5 point gap (with the help of city 12 point contribution to the difference!!). It just shows how effective Wenger's youth policy is.<BR/><BR/>Would be interesting to see Wengers first couple of years to see how they compared with Svens - I'm sure he would have spent more in building the foundations as sven has(obviously adjusted for the transfer market inflation over his tenure).<BR/><BR/>It makes me even happier that the vast majority of svens signings have been young and up and coming players who are likely to hold or better their values. Makes perfect sense from a footballing and financial perspective.<BR/><BR/>Nice info. Cheers.
