Arsenal's transfer strategy has become a tale of two doors - one swinging wide open, the other stuck and barely budging.
For the hundreds of millions splurged by the Gunners in this summer window - around £250million on seven players, in addition to Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen on loan with a £45m buy option - an astonishing fact lingers.
Their record sale still dates back to the summer of 2017, when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moved to Liverpool for £35m; a damning reflection on a sales strategy the north London club needs to solve.
