When has Wenger paid mega-money for old inconsistent players?
There is no precedent with him - he doesn't pay large for older players and 10m is certainty not 'mega money'. Possibly Utd would but not WengerI said "will pay" not "have paid". Woolwich's spending has been thrifty until recent seasons, so considering the budget they've had to use, you could include Petr Cech (33), Lucas Perez (28), Debuchy (29) and Arteta (29). None of them fit Wenger's usual policy of young players with potential, and all were £10m+ transfers.
I wouldn't put it past him to roll the dice on Payet in order to go for the title, as it could be Wenger's last season

Perez was 27 btw and 33 for a GK is still decent
I'm not defending them at all - simply pointed out that Wenger is the last manager to spend 'mega-money on a 30 year old. This is a discussion board - you posted an opinion which I disagreed with - no biggie.For a week
Not quite sure why you're so staunch towards defending Woolwich and Man City, based on the most pedantic of reasons.
"Wenger signs inconsistent French winger" would hardly raise eyebrows.
I picked up on that previously...what does she think is worth 800 million ? Their stadium ? Nah don't own one. Their training ground ? Nah, it's a school field with a caravan from what I have been told. Their Squad ? Hahhhha FUCK no, best player is Payet and he's a 30 million joke. Their brand ? Nah. Their TV money ? Not really..... unless some accounting process I can't imagine is cooking the books against TV money. They are not worth much at all. No assets. Shit, bottom half team and one trophy in 40 odd years
Oh fuck is it the World Cup win that I am forgetting ?
WEST HAM HAVE ALMOST SIGNED SCOTT HOGAN AND THE PREMIER LEAGUE BIG BOYS ARE SHITTING THEMSELVES
They really think Payet is up there with the best don't they?
He's really, really not.

I think that's unfair to Hogan. He may not be a great PL-level striker, but the lad clearly does have some talent. His results at Brentford show that. It's a real pity that he's going to get a terrible stage and accompanying act.Only one premier league club showed any interest and 3 championship clubs.. That tells you all you need to know..
Oh and they've already named him Hulk..
