Dangote reaffirms interest in Arsenal

 Africa's richest man CONFIRMS he'll bid for Arsenal, wants club to stop selling players
Africa's Richest man: Aliko Dangote

"I posted an article on this Dangote wanting to buy Arsenal issue" about last month being very sure that he Aliko Dangote already had the wealth and capacity to buy and run the Football club on like most people think. Well the man has been quoted in a BBC interview to again reaffirm he's strong interest in buying the club and even has an idea that the club needs to change transfer strategy, he stated:
that the building of a new oil refinery in his native country will provide him with the necessary finances to buy Arsenal after his previous efforts fell through,
‘There were a couple of us who were rushing to buy, and we thought with the prices then, the people who were interested in selling were trying to go for a kill,’ he said.
‘We backtracked, because we were very busy doing other things, especially our industrialisation.
‘When we get this refinery on track, I will have enough time and enough resources to pay what they are asking for.’
‘They are doing well, but they need another strategic direction. They need more direction than the current situation, where they just develop players and sell them,’ he said.
 
 
But is Arsenal's transfer strategy this days that bad? he spoke of Arsenal needing to stop selling their star players but we all knew why they had to go through that and have grown more than that since as seen that they can now challenge for world class players after the recent captures of Ozil and then Sanchez and also havent sold any of their best players for two seasons now. If those are followed by Cech it'll only help bortress the point that Arsenal are no more a selling club so is it a case of Dangote being misguided, or being a fan who doesn't have enough time t watch he's club, or its just another buisnessman, or a true and true Arsenal man wanting he's club to hit the heights that he knows they are capable of whichever way i see this takeover as imminent in about a year or two and feel it'll be great for Africa as a continent, Dangote and Arsenal.
