The part right near the end was the most interesting insofar as our wage offerings.
IF we can compete transfer fee-wise, we're always going to be gazumped by the other three when it comes to salary...and I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad failing.
AW: "Who are the big buys?"
Q: Well, Gervinho?
AW: "How much?"
Q: £11m.
AW: "He was £8m."
Q: Well, do you feel he is fulfilling his potential at the moment?
AW: "Gervinho?"
Q: Yes.
AW: "Gervinho is a good player, yes."
Not in public at least.
I genuinely believe there's a good player in there but coercing it out is another matter altogether. He looks miles away at the moment.
Not like AW's going to say he's **** either.
You can't knock Wenger for picking up a bargain over the years but some of these more recent acquisitions have been incredibly poor.
