Utd have paid a lot of money for Rio, Carrick, Hargreaves and Rooney - probably close to £80 million. Fair play to Ferguson but if Wenger can bring in a foreign player of the same quality for half the price he doesn't care what country it is from.

I worry for Arsenal when the colder weather kicks in and they have to travel to Blackburn, Birmingham and Bolton and some of those foreigners may not fancy it.
