Transfer fees make Arsene Wenger dizzy

Arsene Wenger loses his balance while contemplating what it would cost to sign a top goalkeeper.

Arsenal fans wondering why Arsene Wenger has been so reluctant to spend money made available to him during transfer windows may finally have their answer. The gaffer apparently suffers from a crippling case of transfer vertigo. From the Independent:

"When you see all the fees around you become dizzy. We do what we want and we look first at the quality of the player and after if we have the money we spend it," Wenger told www.arsenal.com.

Though he seems to be working through his condition, signing Gervinho with the help of Arsenal's board and encouragement of the club's supporters, there is no known cure for transfer vertigo. But hopefully one day there will be, so proud men like Arsene don't have to suffer such torture.
