Wenger's whole philosophy is about grass roots team building but the game now makes that impossible unless you're rich enough to keep the spine of your team intact.

Im a Spurs fan, and in the last 5 years or so we've sold Berbatov for 35 Million, Carrick for 28 Million, Keane for 19 Million (how good does that look now), and might still sell Modric for 30 Million plus.
You kinda have to find a moment where all that good business stops being about money and about pushing up. We beat Man City at the end of 2010 cos we were a better team, and if we sell Modric to Chelsea we will take an even bigger step back. He obviously wants Champions League football, so if we keep him, and we get Diarra, we had better kick Arsenal out of the top 4 this year.
