Just pay the money Arsene

Despite the fact that a fee was reportedly agreed for Higuain (believe that if you will) he seems no closer to signing.

Fellaini looks dead in the water with Everton reported;y upset at our failure to meet the asking price.

Ashley Williams seems to be a target but once again our valuation is short of what Swansea will accept.

It goes on.

For some reason the club seem to think that they can get away without paying the going rate for quality players. I'm all for a bit of bartering, but not at the cost of missing out on good players for the sake of a small discrepancy bettwen offer and asking price.

If this month goes by with no players arriving at the club then we'll be starting the season with a large percentage of the fans calling for changes at board/management level - not an ideal way to start our challenge for honours.

Get real Arsenal.
