Well we could if we offered them the right money.
And in the hindsight £34m was exactly what Hazard was worth. Fergie was a bit out of sync with the market in the final years of his spell at United to be truthful and Moyes is continuing this.
Credit to Wenger. Putting the money where his mouth is. It'l be fantastic to see Ozil in the prem.
Great deal, I'm jealous. Meanwhile at United...
Agreed though he wasn't afraid to pay £24 million for RvP. It was mainly the foreign market we were unwilling to spend big money.
Come on PSG, ruin Arsenal's dreams.
Done. Having his medical in Germany and has agreed a 7m/year wage package.
He didn't have much trouble with deals around £20m, it was whenever we approached the magical £30m he seemed rather unwilling to deal. Perhaps it was Veron fiasco that turned his mind on this, £28m for him in 2001 was massive money.
Agreed, if it doesn't get gazumped by PSG.
Rooney isn't leaving now though, maybe next year but you never know what will happen. He might stay again.
Ozil after completing the transfer: 0_0
This is depressing -- suppose to buy a marquee signing and we may... may land up with Felliani and fecking Baines? Meanwhile Wenger signs Ozil? Where's our fecking Ozil?
Don't see how Kagawa's not fitting in here but we should go in for Ozil.
Fair play to Arsenal. Great signing, and I'm jealous. They still have more pressing issues though.
Why? He'd be allowed to spend £17m plus high wages on Young and £16m on Jones but not £35m on Hazard? I think Fergie had as much money available to him as he wished for, we were capable of spending £35m on a player.
It's good business from Wenger. Ozil ticks a lot of boxes and won't need to be paid over £200k a week.
Willian completed a Spurs medical. There is always the possibility of a late swerve, especially if PSG have gotten involved.
Are we in danger of becoming a team of Quintin Fortunes and Djemba-Djembas again!? 
Arsenal will be a very good team with Ozil and Cazorla
Maybe we just havent got enough spending money.
Indeed Hazard is worth ever penny. The sight of Young £17M or Giggs nearly 40, trundling down the left makes it even more damning.
I believe that despite the statements that have been coming out of the club since forever, we have not been financially capable of paying big money for players, and are still not. Our transfer record still stands at almost where it was more than a decade ago. Or we suddenly became so righteous so as not to overpay for players. I know what I believe.
Jealous.
Check closely and you find they aren't that similar.
£7 million for Bebe wasn't ridiculous?
It's the day and age of the sugar daddy unfortunately. You either pay up or lose out.
Wonder what Wilshere will make of this? Not sure he'll be pleased about playing a deeper role. Definitely less effective.
They're still ignoring the key areas they need to improve, which is their keeper and defence (No clue why they haven't got the Cesar deal done).
He always injured anyway
£6m is feck all in a great scheme of things, he'd have cost us £40m in total and he was well worth it - a 21-year old who is going to be one of the best in the world for a decade or so. The whole reluctancy to pay premium money to agents etc. has hindered us a bit in the market, it's one thing having principles and another implementing them within reason.
What's not similar about them? Both creative, both very good, both run out of gas after 60-70 mins. Yes Ozil is better but I don't see where he's fitting in.
Ozil in the Premier League means he can race Gareth Barry again.
Unbelievable signing for them really. Fair play.
Confirmed on BILD.
