Seriously. That statement is directed towards none other than Arsene Wenger. One thing that even a gypsie knows is that it takes money to survive, which is why you find them in subways and on streets picking pockets and stealing money. But they're doing it to survive. The same rule applies to football. You need money to survive in a commercialized world of football where teams spend 50 million euros in one transfer season to strenghten their squad. The rich teams should invest money in new talent, something which Manchester United did last season when they splashed the cash on Nani and Anderson. 

A team that has money and never spends any is Wenger's Arsenal. I know his philosophy is different, and I love it, but once in a while, you need to spend more money to get something great. This summer is the time for Wenger to spend some of the money Arsenal has been amassing over the last few seasons and actually win something again. There's nothing wrong with having a grown young team, but there is something wrong with being too stingy. 

To begin with, Wenger needs to look only as far as his home: France for one big solution to a big problem: ARSENAL CAN'T SCORE! For this, I recommend the signing of young French striker Jeremy Menez. 

Menez currently plays his football at A.S. Monaco and is a big prospect for the future of French football. I personally rate him above the overhyped Benzema, because of his speed and possible future growth. He won't be nearly as expensive as Benzema either. Menez was discovered and promoted by Romanian manager Ladislau Boloni - another reason for me to like the kid. If you've never seen Jeremy play, check out this youtube video.

For the midfield, Arsenal badly need a left winger because Diaby certainly lacks in the departament. Luka Modric was the perfect solution for this position, but Spurs have tied him up already (I don't understand why he would go there of all places!). So the next best solution in my opinion is Hatem Ben Arfa from Lyon. The kid is fantastic and has a lot of pace to challange the defences of opponents. Him and Walcott on the wings will make for a very strong Arsenal next season.

The defense needs a lot of work because there are far too many mistakes and far too little backups for the first team. Wenger signed an Australian central defender recently (Mark Milligan), but I doubt he's the answer to Arsenal's defensive problems.  The solution in my opinion comes in the form of two young center backs. The first one is Serdar Tasci from Stuttgart, a defender who is young and has massive potential. The other option would be Marek Suchy from Slavia Prague who is also a very sought after young prospect of Czech football. 

The goalkeeper post is also vulnerable. For this area, there are many good options. The best is Sebastian Frey from Fiorentina. In my opinion, he is the goalkeeper who has by far the best form right now, saving the weak Fiorentina defense every game. A younger option could be Akinfeev or Ustari. Either one of these keepers could improve Arsenal's situation by a big margin.

Arsenal have the opportunity to add to the core of fantastic youth created by Arsene by spending some money and landing these crucial signings. Without them, I can't see Arsenal winning something significant next season again. Chelsea will spend a reported 100 million euros this summer, United will splash the cash once more with money from the Premiership and Champions League, and Tottenham already is making steps towards more investments. Wenger needs to make a move for Menez, Ben Arfa, Tasci and a goalkeeper of his choice and spend that transfer budget he never wants to spend. He will buy young players that fit his Arsenal mould, and create a young team that is unstopable for years to come. I can't see it happening, but I hope he wakes up and does it. 

Who do you think Arsenal should sign for next season, and please don't say Didier Drogba!?
