Oh-Zeal from Wenger huh?

After all Arsenal's talk about having a financial warchest of over £70 million, everybody started to consider the idea that it might be a lack of ambition at Arsenal, but Wenger has surprised the whole world. It's official! £42.4 million has been spent by Arsenal on one player!!! We will see Ozil make a switch to Arsenal on a five year contract and will earn a modest £140,000 a week. Terrific signing by Arsenal but question on the agenda. Now that a significant amount of funds has been spent on one player, do Arsenal still have a large amount of funds available? Did they actually have funds available or are they like a lot of other clubs, in DEBT?  Lastly, what can Ozil bring to the British economy? Are his earnings enough to help boost the economy with the rest of the high earners countrywide? Well now the transfer window has closed, we can all progress with our normal lives, thanks for reading.

Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for a possible £78 million. What happened to financial fairplay?

Hello everyone, I am pretty sure everyone has seen the latest twist to the transfer saga of Gareth Bale with a proposed move of £78 million to Real Madrid... Wait... What happened to 'financial fairplay'? The deal has been dragging on for over two months now and Tottenham are apparently prepared to accept the deal till September 2nd (D-DAY) in a bid to prevent Arsenal from making any signings from Real Madrid. Pressing question on the agenda now. Do you suppose Real Madrid are representing economical behavior as a club? Bear in mind, Madrid purchased Kaka from AC Milan for £57.2 million and Christiano Ronaldo for £82.7 million in 2009. I predict that some individuals would suggest, you have to buy quality with money, but, is this the extent we must really go to? 
 On the other hand, Arsenal seem to be playing it the Economical way with Wenger not spending a penny from his transfer kitty so far. The only signings to date are Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre and Mathieu Flamini from AC Milan both on free transfers. Last queation, do such big fees for players have any effect on the economy of the paying club?
