Actually, the media has been pretty accurate over the past few years when it reported the level of activity. Arsene was open and honest about his transfer policy. often telling people, through the media, about transfer activity levels (normally low)
The press remained accurate this time: Arteta was the favourite to be appointed and the Board intended to offer him the job. But Arteta got cold feet and edged away from the deal, so the Board appointed Emery. In the same way, the press got it right about Allegri turning the job down, as did Nagelsmann. Or rather, they made it clear that any job offer would be turned down. Thus allowing Arsenal to claim no one turned down a formal offer.
As for transfer funds, £50 million sounds about right. Arsenal now close to signing Lichtsteiner on a free, so the media had that right all along. Emery is going to have to wheel and deal.
