      I disagree, Arshavin was the biggest purchase before Özil. Monreal could not have the price higher than Arshavin

      He was not, he wasn’t even the highest of that calendar year. Nacho was only about €10.00m according to transfermarkt.

        Ok I’m remembering someone else. Thought he was around £20mil which was a massive amount for Wenger back then.

      Nope, he was very cheap. Less than 10m pounds. He just wasn’t the typical type of LB from that time. He wasn’t very fast, but man, he was so good. He would hold his own on the left and going fwd he was perfect possession full back.
