And he insisted: "Let me be very clear which our goal is always to hold our most readily useful people and hire new talent to make us stronger. "Although we were unhappy to see Robin van Persie keep the club, we have taken steps to secure our most useful people moving forward and have recently signed Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Carl Jenkinson to new long-term contracts. "During this financial period we also used A40.9m in the purchase of new participants, Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud, and the extension of other player contracts. More recently we included Nacho Monreal to the ranks from Malaga. "Our desire would be to make everyone linked to Arsenal proud of the team. We know that comes through successful awards but in addition through just how we do things and that will remain our constant guide." Will Arsenal invest large come july 1st? Have your say below!
