Arsenal is finally the club that isn’t shy to splash the cash on players and it delights their fans.
For several years, the Gunners refused to spend money on important established players, with Arsene Wenger forced to develop players instead.
However, under Mikel Arteta, that has changed and the Gunners have spent significantly in the last two transfer windows.
Stan Kroenke owns other sports clubs in the United States and was criticised for not giving Arsenal the funds his other teams get, which make it easier for them to achieve success.
That is no longer the case and Gunners CEO Vinai Venkatesham says he has proven he loves the club and wants to win the Premier League after their spending this summer.
He said via the Daily Mail:
‘We were delighted to get them right at the start of the window so we have them here with us on tour in the US. It was a heavy significant investment and that investment really shows the ambition of our ownership group.
‘They have had an enormous success with their franchises in the US in recent years, winning the Super Bowl, Stanley Cup and the NBA Championship. They have really supported us this window, so we will be ready for the fight this season.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is hard to argue that Kroenke does not love Arsenal when one considers how much he has invested in the club recently.
As we have earned a return to the Champions League, we need him to keep supporting the manager with newer investments.

I think he’s going for it! All his other teams have won there big trophies and I think most of us have a strong belief…..
Since Alisher Usmanov left the club and Kroenke’s own 100% they started splashing the cash i think we will once again be top four club in EPL, I fell bad for Arsen Wenger it came too late for him
2 things were instrumental over the last several years.
1. Kroenke’s 100% ownership
2. Josh Kronke becoming so involved in the club’s operations. Compared to silent Stan, Josh has given numerous interviews and confidently speaks about ambitions.
I admit I doubted him at first, but after reading his comments 3 years ago and recently, who can question him now?
He talked the talk and has backed it up with investment and his involvement. Hopefully the involvement and support continues, he is following the track of the Rams and Nuggets model.
Judging by his track record of paucity so far, Stan Kroenke seems to be having an Ebenezer Scrooge epiphany.
What can a happy go lucky Arsenal fan say other than
“this is wonderful”
However, this old cynical Arsenal fan wonders if this Kroenke largesse is in fact nothing more than an effort to fatten us up for market.
Will Arsenal be the next club to be sold, maybe after next season?
Let’s hope not!!!!
Too early to judge considering that Newcastle,Chelsea and even Aston villa are making some good signings too
Think the son Josh is crucial to the cause, and the interview with the gaffer may have just gone down as Declan Rice said, ” Arteta is magic”
We are finally matching the big clubs with large spends, for too long we acted like a second-tier club. You can say now we’re acting like a club of our size with ambition
I think the family is in it, now is up to Edu and Arteta to find players who are willing to play every ball and are hungry for the podium. It is doable.
In all these signings we still have to get a credible no 9. We just don’t have a fearsome game-changing striker. Please don’t tell me about Jesus and Nketiah. We need the likes of Hojlund, Osimhen, Vlahovic to make that physical appearance. Then our squad will truly match all our rivals and we WILL win the league.
