I wanted to ask your thoughts on Arsenal's quality of football and their approach to the transfer market from 2007 up until Fabregas and RVP leaving
Off the top of my head, in 2007-08 and 2008-09 Arsene Wenger built a squad who played some beautiful attacking football at times, but ultimately, some shortcomings in other parts of the game prevented them from winning the league. In 2008-09 it can be argued that the signing of Arshavin somewhat saved their season, giving how his style of play appeared to lift other player's up.
Then in summer of 2009, Adebayor, who had been one of their top scorers in recent seasons, left, and in following seasons, Fabregas and Van Persie were sold aswell.
Basically, how good was Arsenal's football after Henry and while they still had Fabregas/or RVP and thoughts on their signings/sales during that time
