These Juve players tho cheap, are not cheap to Arsenal
standards... When Wenger buy players, he normally buy them below
the $10m amount and also a salary range between 30 to 60 k per week
types and always those below 25, 26 yrs old so there is still a
potential for a return in future .
These Juve players all cost close to $10m or more, age about 30 or
more also, salary 70, 80, or 90, 000s a week so what he said is
true. It has not been Arsenals' policy to buy old players
anyway.
On your Thuram choice, what will thuram cost? 5 - 8m.. salary about
80, 90, 000 per week, age 34 yrs old. If he were to come over, he
would expect at least a 2 yrs contract or maybe 3 but his form may
not last more than a yr and also with his age, he may not do well
in the fast pace EPL.
If Wenger is to get a defender from West Brom, i think a davis guy
that he is keen on, he will probably cost less than 6m, salary
maybe 20 to 30 k per week, has potential to be a good player, good
chance of getting a return back from him too or at least can play
for them for another 8yrs. On Thuram, whatever you put out, you
won't get a cash return for sure, or he may even retire early if he
gets injure.
So thuram won't be a good choice, even a loan tho good but his
salary still very high.
