Yeah but it's not just Arsenal it seems all the big clubs ignore a section of players which is the same section of players Leciester, Bouremouth etc get their players from.
Rather than buying from the middle man for 80m we should be sourcing them for 10 a year before.
What could Leciester have seen in Maddison that Arsenal couldn't have. Unless they weren't scouting the championship.
Same applies for players like Pereria, Ndidi.
There are some clear examples of bad signings but if you sign 4 players and 2 of them are good and 1 later moves on for 80m surely that's good business.
We buy for 35m and sell for 20m. How we got 30m for Iwobi I will never know. First piece of decent business in a long time.
But we did, the problem is a lot were duds; Squillachi, Silva, Chamakh, Gervinho, Santos, Park, Campbell, Jekinso, Sanogo, Elneny, Perez, Asano - the list is endless.
