I'll only spend if we sell, says Wenger... despite Arsenal announcing record profits

Arsene Wenger defended his transfer policy, claiming he was not afraid to spend Arsenal's growing fortune as the club recorded pre-tax profits of nearly £37million.

The Gunners are in rude health, thanks largely to player sales with transfer fees for Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy included in the financial results released on Thursday for the 12 months to the end of May this year.

Match-day income is up slightly, to more than £95m for the year and promises to keep rising given that the cheapest tickets for Saturday's Chelsea game at the Emirates were priced £62, making it the most expensive game in Barclays Premier League history.


Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis felt the need to stress in his report that the money was available for Wenger to invest in new players if he considered it necessary.


'Our numbers are good,' said Wenger. 'They are pleasing, very pleasing. We are very lucky because we have good support and the income of our gates is very high.


'We have to maintain that by keeping our fans happy and to continue to manage well in the way we do it.

'We are not scared to spend the money but we feel that even if we spend our money we can't compete with some clubs on certain players.


'We have good players and to buy one more, we have to get one out. We want to spend our money in the right way.



AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT DOES MY HEAD IN :redangry: :redangry: :redangry: WE HAVE MILLIONS IN THE BANK SO WHY ON EARTH DO WE HAVE TO SELL IN ORDER TO BUY???? ITS LIKE HAVING 10K IN THE BANK BUT HAVING TO SELL YOUR TV IN ORDER TO BUY A NEW PC IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL

Quite obviously saving funds for the next manager, or he doesn't see any need to bring more players in.

Not even a football club anymore, just a business.
