Have you seen the type of scumbags routinely signed on by that FIFA lot? The fewer directives from those bastards, the better. None at all would be my preference. When the head's like that no wonder the body is rotten. As usual, the media has a role to play here. Unfortunately, the role they have decided on is hype master general.Quote:

Let's be honest here, we haven't fallen out of love with footbal because of the spending etc, it's because our club is sh*t and consequently everything is a massive disappointment, if we signing top class players every summer and being successful on the pitch noone would be feeling much discontent.
When you have to go through the same thing year after year with no signs of it ever changing your bound to lose interest, the football is rubbish, the players aren't hungry, the results are average, the transfers are inadequate, the owner is disinterested in the football side and the manager is on his own little crusade to only satisfy his own needs.
If wee were out there signing players of the quality of Lewandowski/Dybala every summer and playing great football and competing for the top prizes everyone would be happy, it's the fact we have a boardroom and manager who couldn't give a toss about genuinely competing and insisting they are right despite evidence to the contrary.
When are we going to get rid of all of the deadwood, we have so many overpaid, average players we need to get rid of, it's the same cycle as always, we don't pay for quality so end up stockpiling very mediocre players that we can't get rid of as we stick them on way more money than they deserve.
Going back to the Barca, Real etc and other clubs being able to compete, Juve and Athletico have 2 CL finals in the last 4 season each and aren't huge spenders, they are more than competing, Athletico were very close to winning it.
Money isn't the be all and end all, it's assembling a decent group of players with a good mentality, desire and a good workrate and teamwork, these clubs obviously have very good managers, that bring in the right players and have good sytems and are tactically astute, Arsenal has none of that hence our position these days.
I have determined many many solutions to cure the world's ills.Quote:

There is some truth in that because things felt a little different when we signed Ozil and then signed Sanchez. Heck, just signing Lacazette has peaked my interest compared to the way the season ended.Quote:
