Transfers

Having seen encouraging signs in the previous season and allied by the fact that Arsenal had a major financial constraint due to the new Stadium project in place, manager Arsene Wenger did not make too many big money signings in the summer.

Jens Lehmann was brought in for £1.5million from Borussia Dormund to replace the legendary David Seaman and the Germany international proved to be an inspired acquisition as he had a major role to play in helping Arsenal to their brilliant unbeaten campaign.

Apart from Lehmann, promising youngsters such as Phillippe Senderos, Gael Clichy, Johan Djourou and Cesc Fabregas were signed and all of them certainly made a very good impression when given a chance in the League Cup.

On the departure front, veteran David Seaman left after 13 years of sterling service while experienced players such as Oleg Luzhny, Guillaume Warmuz, Igors Stepanovs and Giovanni van Bronckhorst were all allowed to leave the club.

The likes of Jermaine Pennant, Moritz Volz and Francis Jeffers were sent out on loan to gain first team football and continue their development.

It was during the January transfer window where Arsenal finally splashed the cash by bringing in the exciting Jose Antonio Reyes from Sevilla for a fee of around £10.5million.

Although, Arsenal did not spend extortionate amounts in the transfer market, both Lehmann and Reyes proved to be very important to their wonderful campaign while Wegner also has to be lauded for effectively moving on older players who were past their peak years.
