Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Either way, we're all agreed we are in the top 10 :trophy:

Seriously Zim, what a joke of a post.

Swansea beat us home and away last year. Are you going to include them as a bigger club like you've just done to Monaco? :lol:

Dortmund? The same Dortmund that nearly got relegated last year and consistently loses their best players. The same one who've had some of their top players linked to us the past two seasons.

Athletico have only turned the past two years. Far too early to even consider them bigger than us as well.


However objectively I'll admit Chelsea have probably just edged ahead of us now given their more recent success however because of their lack of history pre 2003, unlike say a Man Utd who can go a while without success and still be considered a big club, they're in a lot more of a precarious position than others.

Dortmund topped our group and have been in a CL final in recent years, I'd definitely say they're above, again Athletico made it to a CL final which is far better than getting into the last 16

Typical Wengeritis mentality on display here. Never wanting to be the best, but ecstatic to be merely mentioned in passing.
In Europe, you are not what you say you are but what your history says you are

Read em and weep

And typical goalpost moving from you. You claimed we weren't in the top 10, have failed to name the 10 or more teams who are bigger so now you're just changing your argument.
It doesn't matter *that* much whether we're in the top 10 but right now we definitely are.

Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd, Bayern, Dortmund, PSG, Barca, Real, Atletico, Juve. No order.

I think we might be just outside the top 10. Not saying we can't beat any of these guys because we have beaten some of them recently but they've all had better runs than us in the CL league recently or have at least won the league in the last 3 or 4 years.

I think a lot rides om this season coming and we should be in a top 10 position without question. We should be looking to overtake Dortmund and Atletico for sure.

If it's 'better' we have to be above Man Utd; if it's 'bigger', Man Utd are obviously miles ahead but they're miles ahead of most other clubs in that sense.

It's largely irrelevant though - the better indicator is that players like Alexis and Özil wanted to join, that to me still shows we're thought of as a top club.

That's a much better indicator but I also think finances and the strength of the league comes into play with that one too. I think if Serie A weren't in such a poor poor state, there would be more players moving over to Series A and Juve.

Also, historical consistency makes a difference and Wenger has to get credit for keeping us consistent. Clubs like Dortmund and Atletico will have a very good run for a few years but won't maintain that level once raided of their good players. I'm not so sure top players will be in a hurry to sign for them just yet.

Financially we're one of the top 6 or 7, on the pitch however I wouldn't even say we're top 10, we're maing very poor use of our resources.

We need to step it this season.
