Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Real Madrid's world record bid for Tottenham star Gareth Bale makes UEFA's Financial Fair Play claim a joke. Many have questioned the legitimacy of UEFA president Michel Platini's plan.

And Wenger remarked: "It makes a joke of it. It's quite amazing that in the year where the Financial Fair Play comes in, the football world has gone completely crazy.

"You wonder what kind of impact and effect it has on the football world. It looks like it has made everybody worse than before."
