Guardian comments after last night game 21:09 - Aug 2 with 5977 views | the_gasman | This filled me with pride http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/aug/01/swansea-malmo-europa-league-matc As a Gooner, dearly wished Wenger had dished out for Michu and Bony rather than carrying on with the embarrassingly desperate chase for Suarez - could have had a potentially blinding partnership for a fraction of that proposed fee. Gutted but good luck to them - every non-Swans 2nd favourite PL team. | |

I'm no expert, but Arsenal (who have openly stated they have a £70 million war chest to spend) would have probably had to pay a bit more or Bony (maybe 16 mill) You wouldn't get much change of £25 mill for Michu That's £41 million, roughly £1 million more than you've offered for Suarez (give or take £1) What fraction is this then? | |

you're right, think I was looking more at the 'everyone's second team' bit really. I should have bolded it | |

i think op meant that we paid a combined total of 14 million (12 for bony and 2 for michu) for our strike force, whereas suarez is 40. meaning our scouting network (or laudrup's facebook friends list) sourced 2 quality players for about a third of what wenger can find.... | |
