Arsenal chief Gazidis: Wenger in charge of Adebayor, Toure sales to Man City
Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis insists manager Arsene Wenger had the final say on the £40million sales of Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City – a side threatening Arsenal’s place in the top four.
The chief executive told the Sunday Express: “We felt quietly confident through the close season that we had a good team. I believe a lot of people treated the way last season ended as a disaster and forgot the good things, but actually an extremely
young team made it to the Champions League semi-finals, which is not easy to do.
“We operate a self-sustaining philosophy, so we spend what we earn. We don’t pay dividends – we reinvest it all. We think we do that prudently, strategically and responsibly, and we will continue to.
“We can invest in the transfer market if that is what Arsene wants to do. Any player moving in or out is Arsene’s decision.”

In my own opinion i still think arsenal needs some body in the squad not that we the members of arsenal football club do not like the players in the squad i bet you dey are fantastic but sir we need atleast two body in the position of central medfield and attack some one to partner V.p and cesc fabrigas my greatest player on eath at the moment.
So splease save use all the problem we are facing from our rivals as you are already aware that some one in africa comitted suilcide because we lost to manchester united that is to say people around the word love arsenal and can even go as far as taking is own life for the club i think that is the most expencive sacrefise anyone can give.
If we fail to land a trophy this year i bet you the death of that young man is in the hands of arsene wenger and the arsenal board.
Please wenger go and get David Villa he is out for sell,look at arsenal strickers and all the big side defence,the strickers and boys compare to the big guys at the back of the top teams.
LOOK WENGER IS THE BEST AND WE STILL LIKE HIM WHERTHER HE DID NOT WIN YESTERDAY OR NOT WE STILL LIKE HIM LAST SEASON HAVE U FORGET WHAT WE DID TO CHEALCE IN THEY HOME AND THEY ALSO SCORE AS IN OUR SO IS SOMETHING NORMAL DONT WORRY WE WILL WIN THE LEAG THIS SEASON HAVE FAITH IN U
