I dont think the problem with the Arteta fee was that it wasnt enough, PRETTY sure its what we did with it.As you acknowledged it was only a suggestion based on what people have said here previous, i hope barkley is the real deal but given were we are now to how we were say 2002, we sold lescott, arteta, rooney and rodwell for decent sums (some argue arteta fee wasnt enough) but we used the money wisely, i think we bought arteta, cahill, jags, baines and such on the back of these sales to begin with.
Hopefully the money is there from TV deals etc and we dont have to buy to sell any longer.
