There is no risk on paying £5m on any player for a club of that size. If they don't work out, you move them on and pretty much cover your cost.

£40m on Xhaka.. Now that, was a risk.
Presumably Arsene had seen a youtube clip of Xhaka passing a football? Zero risk. The man has a wand-like left foot and the vision of Steve Austin.
