Of course, you kept on buying big, we haven't we are bringing a larger contingent of youngsters through and we are also buying them at younger ages.

Yep, good career move for Ashley Cole, Gallas also won trophies with Chelsea. So its not about the player but about the club and its spending.

How old exactly? the core of the youngsters bought at that time are still in their early 20s. We will improve the squad in the transfer market but the core of the team will still be our youngsters who came through.

dayokanu:
wenGAY want his people to belive Arsenal was paid by Dimano to et Eduardo yet the man who got the money said its 24m

Slim shady do you see how your ignorance has been shown in the public?

Wenger can lie all he wants but the guy who received the cash said he received 24m, While wenGAY keeps teling y;all that he did the transfer for 50 cedis

duduspace:
And of course, you didn't win the PL for 3 years when you did that and also fell out of the UCL in the group stages while the likes of CR7 and Rooney gained experience.

We paid nothing for Gallas, he was swapped for Ashley Cole and 5m (if yu've forgotten) while we got Rosicky for 6.5m, its no use going into the individual details, the net sum speaks for itself. And those figures are from Sky who are known to be anti Arsenal if anything. You still outspent us by a clear 100+m

Its irrelevant why they spent so much money, you can't spend what you don't have (or was given them by Abramovic). Those values from Sky are Net spends.

Emperoh:
Every and anything to make Berbatov look exceptional!!
Two seasons are enough for any good player to make his mark. . . . .I can bet my life that if Rooney leave United this summer,
Fergie won't have the balls to build his team around Berbatov

Emperoh:

Skills and intelligent passes are not goals. . . . .missing sitters and blasting taps in over the bar are still not intelligent passes
So what is our brother Sauron driving at? That all United Mid-fielders are shyte innit? The same person that ran amock on this thread to prove to the whole nairaland community that Fletcher was the best midfield assassin in Europe bar none? The Devil is now in heaven!!!!!

Emperoh:

All of a sudden they became shyte and powerless. . . . .cos they are not 'intelligent' enough to understand Berba?
My eye has seen my ear!!! We even had an argument here and i can remember Sauron saying Carrick was better than Steven Gerard.
People hypocrisy has got a new name. . . . . . . . .Sauron!! Oga, u musn't paint everything black to win an argument!!
U contradict urself a whole lot!!!!

Emperoh:

Think again man. . . . . . Berba at Spurs was averagely as effective . . .  . . . . .one would then think that coming to United were he has more World class effective players around would help him grow his game. But for where. . . . .I can also bet me salary that Tevez if he were here would have done better as a lone striker than Berbatov. . . . . .not being the same kinda player is not an excuse.

Emperoh:

Kanu is slower than Berba but we know how deadly he can be in his hey days!!!

Emperoh:

Conclusion, Berbatov is not United standard. . . even if u build a gel making factory for him in the 18yard box, he won't stay and score!!!
Case closed. . . . . . . .Fergie should sell the dude to Bayern or fuckev'r and buy me a pidgeon abeg!!!!

duduspace:
What of Rooney and CR7 you bought before then? in 2004 for 25m and CR7 too? besides you always had a competitive squad even before then anyway, it was not like we were winning the league every year and you lot somewhere mid table, you even had a better academy prior to Arsene's arrival and were always more attractive to young and upcoming players prior to the 90 minute rule.

The point is we stopped spending (both in transfers and wages) while you lot continued. Changes in spending patterns are not that immediately reflected as there are existing contracts to be wound up.

That is why Chelsea had to spend more because they had to meet up first, have a bedding in period and then compete., only they've not been smart enough to freshen up their squad.

chic2pimp:
I checked it out and you are right the difference was a paltry £3M.

duduspace:
Signings nko? was that not the season you got Carrick for over 18m?

Ibime:
Check the facts . . . .Aston Villa made £43m loss last season.

chic2pimp:
As far as I know Man united has always had the  bigger wage bill  but Wengay never saw it as an excuse cuz y'all where winning trophies back then.

slimshay:
And one of the requirements to be a donkey is to be a able to pull numbers outta your backside!!!

chic2pimp:
Wengay is a smart dude, Infact he has Gunners wrapped around his little fingers.
He keeps using the same excuses over and over again and they are now starting to wear out.
I willing to bet his job is more secure than that of SAF'S(and we all know Fergie is pretty much unsackable)

P:S Can Someone Pls  Tell Me What Arsenal's Wage Bill was During the Times of Henry, Vieira, Campbell,Pires and Co.
I'd Like to Compare the 2003/2004 wage bill to the present Day

chic2pimp:
I guess this is what happens when your team has not won a meaningful Trophy in quite a while now.
Or when did teams start basing their sucess on Net spend and what not?

dayokanu:
The same midfield that played 2 CL finals and won 3 EPL back to back or what has changed?

duduspace:
Why is portsmouth being relegated and going into administration?

Why has Aston Villa never been to the UCL?

Well good thing yu aint Platini or all clubs would have to go into relegation or administration to advance their fortunes. And be careful what you wish for, by the time Platini does decide to make that decision, y'all might be the ones trying to get into the top 4 then, with your existing debts I'm not so sure yu'll be able to pull it off.

dayokanu:
Sharon good question here, Why would a sick and covalescing Rooney be risked when a fit Berbasuck is available?

Extend him for 20yrs, Help Europe get rid of duds, Mop duds off the market

tkb417:
our midfielders are not intelligent hence the reason Berba is shyte

jay bee:
@Sauron
Are you on berbasulk's payroll?
Even when we play him as the lone striker what does he do?
Intelligent passes to?

Dude is a costly £30 mil waste pipe

I bet mame diouf will score more goals than molotv if deployed as a lone striker and play comparable games with him.
The fast flowing efficient footie will play should enable any striker bang in considerable amount of goals throughout the season.
Stop defending the undefendable.
Dude is a total joke and his wackiness holds no bound

duduspace:
Arsenal spending outlay in PL before and after move to the Emirates (also from Sky sports News)

                                               Before                            After
Total cost of players in:         199m                                 71m
Total from players out:           132m                                105m
Net spend:                               67m                                  -34m
net spend/ season                    5m                                   -9m

Yet, we've never dropped out of the top 4 in the PL and some idiots are calling for the manager's head, do people look at figures at all?

debosky:
At the rate we are going, Bendtner who is 22 and cost little will outscore Berbatwat. I don't know what additional evidence is needed to identify a monumental waste pipe of £30m.

Emperoh:

Surely, that same intelligence that got him 28 goals this season.
Who is to blame? Tevez or SAF who refused to play him?
Talk another thing abeg!!!

Emperoh:
The same woeful midfield that Rooney thrives on?
The same weak midfield that got us the UCL finals last season?
And at least the Quarters until Rafael got sent off? The same midfield that scored 3 goals in 21 minutes against Bayern?
Hmmm!! I laugh in Chiquitita!!! Oga, u don't have any case for Berba. . . . . . .he flopped at United!!!

Emperoh:

Predictabilty? Great and yet contending for the 4th title in a row? Arsenal will love to be as predictable as we are as long as they are 2nd!!
Rooney was scoring the crosses from valencia. . . . where was Berbatov?
Him no get head? This is no longer a case of him playing lone striker but with Rooney!!
Sauron u saw the understanding between Rooney and Tevez when he was here, why is it so?
Why can't Berba forget hair gel and gel with his strike Partner?

Emperoh:
[color=#550000]
Abeg!!! U no get case, Berbadove is what he is. . . . .A dove!!!!
He can't lead the line. . . . .look at his nonsense against BB!!! I tire!!!

Emperoh:
Intelligence?
Did u say intelligence? Intelligence that has offered 12 goals all season? I woulda prefer Tevez's intelligence!!
One expects a striker of Dimi's status to lead the line. . . . . his style of play does just not fit into United!!

Emperoh:

If its not intelligence, it is his team mates not understanding him.
If Fergie has not lost confidence in him, i wonder why he will risk a half fit Wayne Rooney if he had confidence in Rooney.
It didn't happen in one match, 2 matches. . . . . . Bayern and Citeh!!
We all saw how intelligent Berba was against Chelsea!!

Emperoh:

Sauron, abeg find another thing. . . . . Berba no fit in!! Let him take his intelligence somewhere else!!
Cristalz says he needs to stay in the box, even when he's in the box, he keeps missing chances.
Berba won't score easy goals, he will want to back flip or dribble everyone to score!
Rich man's Ibrahimovic!!!

Emperoh:

Well, he can stay at OT as long as he wants as long as i don't see him on the pitch for any match!!
I wonder what u see in this your Berbatov!!!

presido1:
Sauron, you and your yaradua His is that good yet SAF keep on using half fit Rooney when Yaradua is 101% fit.
SAF has lost confidence in him.

Manc am have this feeling that Liverpool will hand this tittle to chavs for one reason. To stop United winning it the 19th time. They will sacrifice their Europa to see that happen. We can only bank on Stoke now and the other club.

tkb417:
she Bayern don bring money?
make we sell the murfcker to them buy Benzema abi na David villa

if he doesnt kick well, sauron will say the passes werent good, if he hits the ball but couldnt find target, Sauron will say no other striker woulda done that, to me, anybody who feels Berba has done well and should not be sold to Urawa reds in Japan shd be banned from this forum

debosky:
And whoever regards you as an intelligent commentator is more of a retarded pea brained simpleton than you are.

I don't blame you - it's Wengers idiocy that has allowed half wits like yourself to come here and attempt to analyse things.

aieromon:
Asnal started their 09/10 downfall when AW refused to sign Chamakh and Melo.
Imagine what this duo would have added to their title hopes.

duduspace:
Do we have Manure's debt level or Barcelona's? Do we have the same status for England as Barcelona has for the Catalans with the accompanying government protection?
Even before Arsene came, Manure always had a richer history than we did that is fact.

Eastbay:
Dude should be booted out and tried for fraud with Arsenal's board members.Just because he's bringing in the millions by selling off their best players,they refuse to sack an under-performing megalomaniac.
Tell me how many coaches last this long at top clubs without winning anything,even the CC?My bad.Le Arse has fallen away from the top-club genre.I'm sorry for that slip.
In fact,Arsenal's problem is spiritual.The board,players,AW,Emirates and even some fans need deliverance by bathing in the Osun River.

Another reason why Arsenal need deliverance.How can someone who tops the premiership in appearances from the bench be an asset?Thank God the Dud didn't break his ankle this time around.Otherwise,we for no hear word again,like 2008.

agabaI23:
Sauron
You can say anything you like, I am with you on this one.

I am still an Arsenal fan but there is no excuse for the humiliation.

Rub it in our face it is all Wenger's fault.

How can ARSENAL concede 3 goals in less than 10 miniutes against Wigan? NO FECKING EXCUSE

duduspace:
Loyika, I haven't seen the game but would you say all the goals were solely the fault of the keeper?  now when you start with buying a world class keeper, you'll move from their gradually to buying a whole world class team. Unfortunately we don't have that money and we are BUILDING a world class team while trying not to drop performance levels too much. Until we get our Oil sheikh like City (even though that is becoming less fashionable)

presido1:
I think sacked should be in place of resign.

The funniest thing to me and the saddest thing to Arsenal fans is that Spurs used arsenal to cement their bid for UCL. This is unbelievable. Had Citeh used Man United in their bid for UCL spot i will stop watching football.

BlueDiva:
A draw at OT is all we ask for.
With the form Spurs is right now, that's not a tall order.

WILL BUYING A DECENT GOAL KEEPER MAKE ARSENAL BANKRUPT!!

Stop defending this man His project was laudable and we all backed him, BUT IT HAS bleeping FAILED!! If Arsene buys players and the team comes up short, then we know its not his fault (even if he will take the blame) But to not buy is a cop out

When supporters stop coming to games or buying tickets, will he then realise that players like Diaby are not fit to wear the shirt!! Ray palour doesn't have Diaby's skill, BUT HE HAS GUTS AND STAMINA! Freddie is no Rozzi!! BUT HE WAS A MONSTER FOR THE SHIRT! No one in this team even has a right to be mentioned in the same sentence as Pires!!

What we saw out there (even when we were 2 nil up) was not the Arsenal team!! (only Sol is worthy to wear that shirt) As far as i am concerned, MY SEASON ENDED AT THE LANE!!

Like i said, Citeh should do us all a favour next week and put an end to this charade!!

Eastbay:
After politicking to get a Wolves player sent off,Le Arse has been battered by a 22-year old,gang-molested by their neighbours and now turned over by a basement team.The mental block you spoke of must be an air borne disease around AW.

Dr Kitaun:
Loyika

sorry my fone went off jare BTW your POST IS MY FAVE POST OF THE SEASON!

Lets sack Wenger, sign Amodu instead!!!

Winless team, gutless players, greedy board members, senile gaffer!!!
