I fear another set of 3 or 4_ players I'll go occupy their bed space soon, we never have a complete squad

I won't let you drag me into this yeye argument. You know better. If Giroud had been more clinical in front of goal you won't even attempt to spew that trash.
Ozil vs Mahrez, Ozil beats him in all stats used for mid-fielders from pass accuracy,to assists, to chances created, to shot accuracy, except goals, and you are telling me Mahrez is so better.
Mtchew, sh*t you just dragged me into this argument.
I don't blame u though I blame Giroud.

In 2013 Monaco spent more than most EPL clubs. Any club can spend huge money

Betis broke the world record for Denilson did they have more money than Barcelona when they did?,

Zenit have spent big recently same with

Newcastle spent more than Real madrid, Barcelona Bayern Man Utd in January means what exactly?

What Poch is doing at Tottenham is what David Moyes was doing at Everton. Everything you said about him could be said about Moyes at Everton, except Moyes had a leaner budget.

elampiro:
Which coach are you referring to?

raumdeuter:
Who told you they can't afford it?

Do you know real Betis once bought the most expensive footballer in the world.

Do you know how much zenit st Petersburg spent on hulk Witsel etc.

Do you know lazio once broke the world record for transfer

Ajax youth coach Ronald de Boer says Juan Mata isn't good enough for Manchester United.

He speaks to Van Gaal on a regular basis – but that has not stopped him casting a critical eye over United.

He said: “Louis has very few players who can make the difference at United. When I look at Bayern Munich, for example, they have a player in almost every position who really stands out.

"Juan Mata is just not good enough to carry the team when it comes to attacking. He is more the type who has to work for the real big players."

How is he better than Mourinho? We will be doing 'try your lucky with him' . Going round circles while someone who can guarantee success is waiting.

^^ They can afford it but their boards will most likely not agree to such moves. Looking at recent history in the EPL, only ManCity and maybe ManUtd boards can go that length.

Which was why I used debruyne as an examples how many EPL teams can afford to buy Debruyne for 80M or diMaria for 80M

Do you think Arsenal can afford Debruyne for 80M

Going back to your example if Neymar is to go to EPL or say Lewandoski or Muller is to go to EPL they would cost at least 100M. How many clubs can afford them in EPL? Can Arsenal afford to pay 120M or Liverpool?

Players go to clubs that are succesful in recent times where they can win trophies or go to clubs that can pay them stupid money

Does Arsenal or Liverpool fit into this? Can any of them pay Neymar, Muller or Lewy 100M?

In Arsenal history they only have 2 players Sanchez and Ozil over 30M, Atletico Madrid Griezman, Jackson and Falcao all over 30M

it won't even still guarantee them, one thing about Epl team is the fact majority of them clubs can compete in the transfer market.
So it ain't lopsided like la liga and Bundesliga and the French league.
I recently checked the top 20 richest clubs in Europe and found 8 epl teams there, leaving the remaining 12 spots for the other leagues in Europe to share.
It'll interest u that westham made the list and Tottenham the 7th epl team to make the list is richer than Athletico madrid the third riches in Spain.
Reason You'll always find one or two quality players in every team in Epl.
My point is, he won't be the only active manager in the transfer market in England unlike Spain and Bundesliga where Barca, Real Madrid and Bayern respectively take the best players the league gat to offer and leave the crumbs for others.

pep will pull a Mourinho, u heard it first.
Man city were unfair to Pellegrini watch them drop more points after that announcement.

BarcaBlood:
Luis Enrique is d best manager, and that's not only because he's coaching barca that has MSN. His tactics has given barca a direct approach 2 games and removed that predictable style barca is known 4.
Managing superstars is even harder; that's 1 thing pple don't get. D league he won went down 2 d last 2 games so its not a walk in d park like ure making it seem. Or can u give ronaldo, benzema, bale and all d array of stars @ madrid ice cream and win dem their 2nd league title in 8 years?


A manager can only manage what's given 2 him, so its unfair using his bad experience @ roma 2 judge him, its like judging mourinho with dis season where he almost got relegated

raumdeuter:
WHen you were telling us Wenger was better than Mourinho, did you take into consideration previous seasons that you are using to discredit Ranieiri?

Before this season How many times has Wenger ever done better than Mourinho. You used this season to say Wenger is better but now dancing azonto to use the same reasoning to boldly tell us Pocchetino and Ranieiri are better than wenger

LogoDWhiz:
Lol!

I get your angle though. Consistency.


But then, when you were arguing with me the other time, you didn't take into cognizance the fact that consistency is key. You were all about the present form and the position they are on the table!

LogoDWhiz:
Lol!

You're changing mouth gradually!


The bolded is all I need!

LogoDWhiz:
Spy360, can you now say Ranieri is better than Wenger?

From your own theory!

I hope you would recover on time to talk more before the second leg.

I mentioned just MSN and you went haywire. I guess I should regale you with more names to dry up the infinitesimally small hope you have left as regards the tie.

The Don will be playing for us. That alone is cheating in itself. Na big ojoro. Need I remind you that we would be playing with the best DM, a very intelligent footballer. One who studies the game like a physician studying human anatomy, solves team problems just the way a mathematician solves word problems leading to linear equations, brings up concept (in order to bring about dynamism in the team) just like a Computer Scientist would add new concepts to existing programs, and adapts to the team's changing needs just the way you and I adapt to changes in Nigeria's pump price every now and then.

As for the names you mentioned; Giroud will be taken care of by Pique. Ask around and you will be told hiw Pique defends arial balls with aplomb. Giroud too small for am to handle. As for Ozil, who doesn't know he hides in big games? Imagine whence the Don would be busy doing his magic, you wouldn't even have time to remember that Ozil was in the starting lineup. Sanchez? Well, his dribbling will be a cause for concern no doubt, but it doesn't get more than that. He ain't a goal threat to me. Walcott? The same pensioner Wallcott or is there any other one in your team apart from Theo?

Like I said earlier on, talk is cheap. Make we wait for Feb 23rd. Nigeria go be you like Chad when e go happen.

pickabeau1:
My point is clear

You need to use a system that maximizes your players

pickabeau1:
Playing a slow defender like per in a high line formation is not about buying
Allowing a lazy player like Walcott play top 9 is not about buying
Not covering players in a zonal marking system is not about buying
Before buying..there are still other issues

The problem about your myopic post is that, you took cognizance of Barça's lapses, and never did with Arsenal. Or you wanna tell me you don't have weaknesses too? Defensive weakness?

Like you rightly said, we do have a high defensive line, and also play with our fullbacks in order to bring about width in attack. Playing with a defensive highline has its merits and demerits. Unfortunately for you, you pointed out just the demerit without taking into account its wonderful merits.

Have you ever wondered how easy it is for us to initiate attacks? Infact, we play with 11 outfield players (including the keeper).

Now let's get to the nitty-gritty. If what you posted above was that easy, how come teams like Madrid and Atletico don't take advantage of that? Or you wanna claim the accolade for the greatest tactician and console yourself with the fact that they don't have a knowledge about it? Of course they do! But why don't they bypass it easily as highlighted in your post? That's because some things are easier said than done.

It seems you need me to take you down memory lane, that's if you are suffering from amnesia. In last season's UCL alone, we defeated Man City, PSG, Bayern Munchen and Juventus en route to the trophy. You wanna tell me the aforementioned teams don't know about what you pointed out? Really?
You remember someone called Pep?

It seems you are also forgetting that your defense is no better than mine. Plus the fact that, you would be playing against the scariest attack/forward line the game has ever seen, and you don't think that should be your major concern?

Let me assure you of one thing; the best result you would get outta the Emirate is a draw, mark my word! We don't need to go over what the outcome would be like at the Camp Nuo.

I'm delighted with the fact that all your injured players are back. At least the major ones such as the likes of Coquelin, Sanchez et al. I know Sanchez will worry my men a lot, there is no denying that. But imagine what Messi would do to Monreal. Imagine what would become of Bellerin after Neymar must have sodomised him. And take into cognizance the frustrations Suarez would cause the likes of Kolscieny and Mertersaker.

Bruv, talk is cheap. Becareful of what you ask for.

AdeLaNa1:
It wont even be funny. Suarez vs Mertesacker!!
