Yeah, it's a smart approach. The likes of Iturbe and Lallana are wrested from smaller clubs for £25m while an excellent player like Alexis is given away for £30m. You have to be an appealing destination to make it work of course, which thanks to Wenger we are. It's unfortunately difficult to find a striker this way though. Özil, Alexis, Khedira - great midfield/creative types can fall through the cracks, but to get a top #9 you need to get your willy out.
