What do you think about this transfer of Osvaldo? I have seen quite a few arsenal fans recently suggesting he would be an excellent buy, and he has turned up at Southamption (note: no champions league football) for 15 Million. While this (I think) equals your record transfer, is still a pretty small sum, and especially for such a good player.
If you were prepared to allegedly spend 40, 000,001 on Suarez, 15 million on Gustavo or 20 odd million on Higuain, do you think wenger has missed a trick here?
Who do you think your realistic targets are for player recruitment prior to the transfer window closing?
Your squad is thin, I think you need minimum 4 players to even maintain your position in the top four. I would go for Damiao, Willams, Diame and Willian if I was Wenger.

Depends on how well he gets on in the prem.
Nowadays everyone who signs for another team is a missed trick.

"Nowadays everyone who signs for another team is a missed trick"
Any player, in any divison with a pulse would seem like an option right now.

It shows how if you have ambition and want to improve your squad and take team to next level you can convince very good players to come to your team.
Arsenal could have done same with, higuain, jovetic, gustavo, Bernard, Suarez but refused to show the balls or ambition to go the extra mile to improve the squad.
Now Southampton have gone out and got some quality players, they'll find it easier to improve their squad in future. Something we need to do.

As Ardiles is a "little" over Wenger's 30 age limit the best he would get is a one year contract so won't be coming to us.
