The reason Wenger dared to say this was mainly because he had already used up all his discretionary power on these two signings, which was the result he reached after discussing it with the boss.
It was precisely because of his all-out efforts that he was able to sign Lei Ming so quickly.
Despite the outside world's complete lack of optimism about his signings, he himself was very confident in his signing plan. After all, some of the older guys next door were openly complaining that the club didn't pay enough attention to signing goalkeepers.
Among them, Guardiola and Mourinho were the loudest, while Pochettino next door, although also shouting, only complained a lot and did not dare to openly clamor.
Unlike the previous two coaches, who publicly stated to reporters that they missed an opportunity to work with Lei Ming, this may become the most regrettable thing this season.
Mourinho had long wanted to sign Leiming, but when he applied for the goalkeeper position, the management gave him three spots to choose from, without any intention of competing with other teams for Leiming's position.
After all, from the perspective of the higher-ups, the premium for Reming was too high. It was simply too expensive to pay as much as 60 million euros for a goalkeeper. In today's football world, there are few suckers willing to pay that much, such as Manchester City next door.
Everyone knows Manchester City is rich, and they respect manager Pep Guardiola's opinions when making signings. However, on this issue, their management did not budge, and their offer of 60 million to Monaco was merely a gesture of goodwill towards Guardiola.
Manager Pep Guardiola was utterly speechless at the club's move!
This is why he said in public that missing out on Thunder was definitely a huge loss for the team.
As for Pochettino, he was completely betrayed by the club. Seeing that Arsenal and Manchester City were both vying for Monaco's goalkeeper, they simply chose to withdraw, leaving Pochettino, who had lobbied the higher-ups and spent countless hours trying to persuade them, speechless.
Amidst the chaos of battle, only the professor ultimately emerged victorious.
Since we're going to gamble, let's gamble big! Anyway, I'm tired of this job, so the worst that can happen is I just quit!
Wenger was very determined on this matter, which is why the management agreed to invest in the transfer this summer. They all know that without Wenger, there would be no Arsenal. In order to fulfill the professor's last wish, they were somewhat willing to take a gamble. It can be seen that the Kroenke family attached great importance to the professor's lobbying.
However, even though Arsenal spent as much as 100 million euros this summer, it didn't make much of a splash in the context of this era of 100 million euros. During this period, another blockbuster deal occurred in the football world. The domineering French Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain once again extended its reach to Barcelona, letting them take whatever they wanted. The sky-high transfer fee of 220 million euros directly took Neymar away from Barcelona.
This transfer has made Paris Saint-Germain, known for its extravagant spending, the focus of fans worldwide. They spent nearly 400 million euros to acquire just two attackers, and although they are both talented, it was indeed an incredibly extravagant move.
It's worth noting that many bottom-tier teams in the top division don't even have a total squad value of 50 million, yet PSG has spent so much on just two players, which is truly astonishing.
This season, their goal seems to be all about winning championships, and they appear to be building a Paris Saint-Germain powerhouse in Ligue 1.
Neymar, Cavani, and Mbappe will form the most terrifying attacking trident of the new generation in Europe, making the name of Paris Saint-Germain known in every corner of the world.
This summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain stole the show and undoubtedly became the most watched player.

"An unparalleled sacred land since ancient times, the number one immortal mountain under heaven. Hello everyone, welcome to Wudang Mountain, our Taoist holy land. This is Zixiao Palace, which is also the core area of the entire Wudang Mountain."
"Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire magnificent mountain range, feel the fairyland scenery, and experience the grandeur of nature."
"Alright, now it's free time. Everyone can have the people around them take some nice photos of themselves with nature. This kind of style is probably a luxury in the city!"
"At the same time, Master Ziyang in Zixiao Palace will guide everyone in some Taoist health preservation knowledge. Those who are destined to learn it will understand it on their own."
After the Wudang Mountain tour guide finished speaking, the crowd dispersed. Some people were so exhausted from climbing the cable car station that they sought out a shady spot to cool off.
Lei Ming was also in this group, carrying a black backpack and wearing a round sun hat, blending into the crowd. As he walked, no one recognized him.
The reason is that although he has some fame in China, it is only among fans. Most people would just think that he is a tall and handsome young man.
Standing atop these mountains, one is truly awestruck by the wonders of nature. It's hard to imagine that such a majestic Taoist temple could stand atop these high mountains. This place truly deserves its status as a sacred Taoist site. Just standing here makes one feel refreshed and invigorated.
He had also visited the Potala Palace in Tibet six months ago. Although it was equally legendary, to be honest, compared to the high altitude there, standing here was much more comfortable than standing in the Potala Palace.
Wudang Mountain is very large, consisting of Zixiao Palace, Nanyue Palace, Mysterious Cave, Tianshi Cave, etc. Among them, Nanyue Palace is the main hall dedicated to the Great Emperor of Nanyue, Mysterious Cave is said to be the place where Taoist disciples used to cultivate, and Tianshi Cave is the most famous place where Zhang Sanfeng, the Celestial Master, secluded himself.
Walking and stopping, when Leiming entered the meditation area, he saw many tourists learning meditation from several Taoist priests. Many people were sitting quietly on the futons, holding their breath and facing upwards.
Lei Ming found this scene very novel. Could it be that one could really cultivate by sitting like this?
Despite his curiosity, Lei Ming had no intention of trying it out, but just as he was about to leave the area, he was suddenly called back.
"Young friend, please wait a moment. It's fate that we met. Since you're already here, why not sit down and experience it for yourself?"
The man who stopped Lei Ming was dressed in a white Taoist robe and had a small mustache. He didn't look like a hermit at all. On the contrary, Lei Ming felt that this guy was about to set a trap for him.
