Finally, some experienced players coming in. I wonder what the average age of our recent signings are - 27? Can only be a good thing for a change. Shame it took so long.

Im not against young players, Its just that the young players Wenger buys 90% of the time never make or are total ****.
Imagin all the money we could have spent on world class youngsters/great players if we never bought all those kids or grew our own?
Experience is great but id prefer Extreme Quality, Age doesnt bother me.

Leaders aswell. Mertersacker, plus two international captains (Yossi and Park). Established internationals (except for Arteta, can you blame him though?). Good business all round I think. Particularly pleased with Mikel and Per. Well done Arsene and co.

i disagree... most of the youngsters are signed for nominal fees and paid relatively small wages. for example we sold cesc for £40m... that would cover the cost of signing more than 25 players for £1 and paying then 10k a week for a year. plus we've made a profit on many other players. of course there are flops but every club has them and i reckon the cost of their failure is definitely cancelled out by the ones who make it.
