I dont agree. When it comes to revenue over performance over and period of time those who spend the most always place higher than thos that don't. Now of course you have outliers in your example Manchester United but let's not forget last season was the worst they've finished in premier league history and during that time period they were always top 2 in revenue. In order to compete at the highest level you need to have best in class and all of that expensive. Weather it's best in class academy or best in class manager. Individual fluctuations are a given but if you look at the average it becomes abundantly clear.

The 100m player market is very thin. He had a big fallout with Napoli and they weren't going to play him so we're desperate to get him off the books.

Correct without massive investment it's not possible. The growth comes from success it's a chicken and egg situation.

500m behind Manchester red and thinking we can compete with them on a consistent basis Is wild. We basically have to hope they never gee it remotely together.

If Ziegler is correct and if this passes it opens for the door for sure. Will also be a litmus test for PIF. seems like some folks are assuming they plan to do a city but I'm not so sure.

Unlikely I think, they have two expensive strikers already and he will cost a fortune.

It's likely a clause exists to reduce any compensation, it would be utterly incompetent of Arsenal to give him a deal which would cost them so much to terminate.

Aye his garden must be getting full of weeds by now.

Source for this? That can't be true.

People don't leave Arsenal for forest without something going on behind the scenes.

Him running his contract down also opens up so many options for him.

Which is actually nothing to celebrate tbh, just another sign off ffp working as intended. Don't you dare go against our cartel.

Proper naive management by Emery.

Emery learning why teams don't play with two out and out strikers

Resisting the urge to say he's shite and should be sold and replaced with Delap.

Good result proper chuffed for Eddie he needed the players to react and that's exactly what he's got. We do usually seem up for it against so called big teams at home though so we have to find ways of channeling that against smaller sides and especially away from home. Also very pleased to see him using the squad and particularly pleased for Long staff who had a good game.

They were well within their rights to haggle with us mind, it's just the way they went about it which was annoying as fuck.

I reckon we have to sell Isak in the summer as well so getting a replacement for him will be key, obviously DCL would be poor in that regard as he isn't close to Isaks ability.

Dcl will be a last resort option for us and him. Remember he didn't come this summer because he wanted too much money.

We aren't getting Guler or David like.

What's going on with Barnes? I wonder if Eddie isn't a fan.

Think he's finished personally. Trippier that is.

Rumour has it benfica are still laughing that Chelsea gave them 100m for Enzo.

We've gone 5 at the back big Joe playing rwb

Bit worrying this.
