Mkhitaryan is a great player, needs to get away from Mourinho though.

£150m in three years isn't really that much in today's market. Both Manchester teams will have spent double that, for example.

Why even mention Giroud?

What do you really think of Arsenal’s recent transfers though?

Chambers makes Paul Dummett look decent on the ball. How the fuck is he getting a game for Arsenal?

Expecting them to just try and kick the shite out of us like Sheffield did last year

Fuck off Conte, you've got no plans to use him in a meaningful way anyway.

Just get it done ffs. Useless cunts.

Liverpool, Stoke, Brighton, Palace, Hudds, Leicester. Doesn't account for bad managerial decisions though. Spurs would surely be at the top of the list?

It's about maintaining your identity. Man City certainly haven't kept theirs. Are any of their supporters complaining? Genuine question. I know it's easy to take the traditional supporter line, but they are a massive worldwide club now, winning trophies with the whole of English football wanking over the football they play. I wonder how many of their fans are wishing it was like the old days? Haven't got a clue if they are connected or not, but the fact that they are struggling to sell out the Etihad surely isn't a good sign?

It’s been said on numerous occasions that it won’t be a Man City style ownership. It's also been said numerous times, just because (if) they have a lot of money why should they pay more than something is worth? You don't buy a £250k house for £300k because the current owner is being a t***, no matter how much money you have. I once bought a ticket for a gig that was only worth £50 for £75 off eBay, because I had the money and really wanted to go to the gig. Supply and demand. As far as we're aware the only demand is coming from PCP. Not even the richest person in the world would want to pay an extra 50m for something when they are bidding against themselves. PSG paid Neymars €222m release clause? Surely that's at least 50m more than he's worth, and i don't think anyone else was bidding. Because Barcelona wouldn't sell for anything less than that.

Not been watching it, and from the replies, I'm more than happy I didn't bother

Football fatigue kicking in? Not a single post about the game tonight so far

To be fair, his tone seemed to change more in February rather than in the middle of January if I remember correctly Aye, but that's because he thought they'd keep their word, but then fuck all happened and he lashed out. Now he knows better than to trust these cunts.

Of course it's possible. Man City 'did a Chelsea' after all. Completely different landscape when they did it. The money that we would have to spend to "do a Man City" would be astronomical, just look at what PSG have to spend to compete at the top in the CL. That reads as possible to me. The Saudis would be the ones to do it. We're talking literally billions of pounds, of course it can happen, I just don't think it's very plausible. So not impossible then. I said 'basically impossible', so left myself a tiny window there

It will happen, but possibly not in time for the January window

I'd disagree with that. A club with unlimited funds has to start somewhere and while it would be a 2-3 season build, it's not impossible. Build a foundation to get us into Europe with good enough players to break the top 6. Under Rafa and an ambitious board that would definitely be possible. Once you get into the top 6 I'd say it's more of a level playing field for a club with endless funds. You'd definitely be in with a good shout to break the top 4 from there in my opinion. You'd still be competing with teams that can always outspend you for now, both in the same league plus the likes of PSG and the two Spanish clubs. Not saying you can't build something and long term win something, but you won't simply be able to buy the league like has been done before.

It's basically impossible to "do a Man City" these days anyway, even if we had nigh on unlimited funds, we'd still compete with two more clubs that have infinite funds that are far ahead of us, plus the likes of Liverpool, Man United and Spurs that are all capable of spending more than we could hope to get from PCP.

Fucking bring it!!! Tottenham with their mental season ticket prices and bigger branding. All we will have is player trading. Get players to play well and sell them on. Nothing different to what Ashley had been trying to do for a decade. We won’t try and build something like a successful football team, just a profitable one. Sorry, I should have realised that you know everything about everything and can see into the future. Your boring and uneducated posts are getting a bit tedious now, you don’t know any of that for certain but bang on like you have a clue. My uneducated guess will be closer to the truth than you care to admit. It’s why you are spitting the dummy, deep down you know I’ll be right. Unfortunately. But please, continue to act like a twat when an opinion doesn’t match up to your own. You thinking you're clever because you've "sussed out" our potential new owners is beyond tedious. It's blatantly obvious that you're doing this so you can say 'I told you so' should it happen, and when it doesn't, you'll do what all other doom mongers on here do and just say that we should be happy when things are going well.

The Internet is fucking shite without this place

And Anita, Gouffran, Hanley and Riviere who I imagine were all on decent enough money The only players we've signed that are probably on Premier League levels of wages would probably be Lascelles (still probably low for a captain, like), Ritchie, Shelvey, Mitrovic and Gayle. Rest of our squad has been signed as back ups or for the Championship. Our wage bill must be fucking tiny like

We fucking freed up the wage bill in the summer when we got rid of Krul and de Jong ffs
