Splashing the cash

I've been paying much more attention to the football transfer market this season. In particular, the ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around by Real Madrid and Manchester City. I hate the "throw around heaps of money and success will follow" mentality of these clubs, and I dislike the fact that players like Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez and Emmanuel Adebayor would go to a club that isn't even playing in the Europa Cup next season. These sentiments are summed up excellently by this fine comic (from the Arsenal FC blog, via somewhere else).

Anyway, I hope Arsenal use the 25 million odd pounds that they're getting for Adebayor to get a decent new striker. Real Madrid's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is after a new home... I also hope that Real Madrid and Manchester City fail abjectly this season.
