I thought Koscielny cost about £8.5m? As they were holding out for £10m.
There is still a chance that campbell will signup again for a year. Real shame Gallas is leaving though but maybe the atmosphere at the club will be better without him.
Wenger did say though that he is prepared to spend big if needed for the defence. And I think our situation does class as "needed".
We are monitoring some Germany CB arent we? Two international CBs would do nicely. Each about £10m
Atmosphere's don't get better as the best players leave while the other players have only signed contracts after being promised of the clubs commitment to bring in better players and challenge for silverware, it gets worse. RVP, Fabregas, and I'm sure Arshavin and a few others only came or signed new contracts because Wenger promised a real push for silverware and to bring in new players. Basically he's lied to RVP particularly, we haven't signed players, we've signed a couple of players to replace ones we've sold, no squad strengthening.
Schwarzer would be completely pointless and very expensive, 4+mil, 1+mil signing bonus, an increase in his wage and he's probably at or abouve 40k a week, and he'll probably retire after one season. Lloris, 15mil, get either 15 years out of him, or sell him for 10-20mil depending on how good he is in 5 years if it doesn't work out, 8mil for one season of Fulhams goalkeeper or a chance at getting a really world class keeper in the future, which would cost less per season. Fact is we'd just be going through the same process in a season if we got Schwarzer, waste of time. I'm using Lloris as an example, he looked poo at the world cup, but so did the whole french squad.
We had two world class CB's in defence last season and still lost games, our defence as a whole didn't work, but thats from front to back, the system wasnt' working, our wingers weren't covering, our DM's weren't good enough and in particular DIaby, Denilson were incredibly poor trying to defend, if you rate Song or not, we largely played in a system that required one player to drop deep and defend on either side and at least one of them was completely useless at doing it.
For all those that rate Song, I find it hard that you can argue that he was woeful in every big important game, considering if we'd manage to not concede against the top 4 we'd have been 1-2 points off winning, and had we won all those games we'd have won with a massive gap. If Song is useless, and I do mean completely useless in the big games, in Europe, in the league, in the cups, then how good can he really be?
I think different reality 
How can you comment on other Arsenal fans complaining about Arsenal players when most of your comments all last season are depressing attacks on virtually every player in our squad including the manager. Except your special untouchables, Eboue, Bendtner, Gallas
