Anyone know what the collective money we spent acquiring those 6 players was? Probably around 40m

Purchase Price / Sell Price
Overmars - 5.5 mil / 25 mil
Petit - 2.5 mil / 7 mil
VanBronckhorst - not sure / nominal
Henry - 11mil / 18+ mil
Fabregas - initially free, I believe but I think we had to pay somewhere less than a mil for him / 23mil + bonuses
Song - ~1mil / 15mil
Definitely less than 40mil combined.

Nice profit margins there.

Where is the trophy...about time we ended this drought?

I've figured out why the soccer board has so many Arsenal supporters guys.

I'm in med school so yeah, just got done looking at a pp presentation slide of dick.
Can anyone smarter/more knowledgeable than me tell me how we got Fabregas for free?

He was signed so young, perhaps it was his first professional contract? In which case he can sign with whoever, and Arsenal just pays a fairly nominal fee to Barca.

Apologies... I didn't check the image size after posting

We poached him from Barca's academy before he signed professional terms. Eventually I think we were forced to pay damages to Barça.

I'm just wondering how we recognized his talent and got him to sign with us instead of Barca.

Barça was stacked with talent. His road to the first team there was blocked. guess we sold him on early PT. The Arsenal bias story is that FCB didn't believe in him, but i doubt that. Dandy could probably tell us their story and the truth would be somewhere in between.

I never really despised Ade. I think Arsene was actively looking to sell him after his huge season. Was clearly way overvalued. And a Dick.

I'll never really understand why fans attack players on Twitter like that. You even see it from LSU fans after a loss. Sickening to me.

plus one
I'd go so far as to assert the same concerning van Persie (last year was a great year, the year before was simply solid, and up until two years ago, he was merely promising). He's got to overcome the injury bug, and he's also no spring chicken. I think Wenger has done well here, and time will bear this out.

I don't think any rational football fan can argue against this. I think it was good business too. Sucks that he was sold domestically though.
