Arsene Wenger during is time as the manager of Arsenal, for a period of 22 twenty two yeas did buy many footballers and sold many footballers as wel. Mainly to pay back the mortgage of their new Emirate stadium.It was budgeted for 200 two hundred million pounds but it ended at 640 six hundred and forty million pounds.
Nickolas Anelka was good striker but his brother who was his agent, wanted him to join Real Madrid. He joined Arsenal from P.S.G for 500 thousand pounds. But was sold to Real Madrid for 23, twenty three million pounds. Arsene Wenger did nit want to sell him, and with this money Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp were bought.
