Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Niall_Quinn]

These "incompetent" guys have managed to drive the share price into the stratosphere and stick almost as much cash as every other team in the league rolled together into the bank accounts. It's very convenient they are suddenly incompetent when it comes to spending rather than raking in money.

Spurs have been failing for a lot longer than that and they've done OK in the transfer market.
We're a big club with a huge global fanbase, we've got a big ground, we can pay big salaries, we're in the CL.
If we had competent people doing the negotiations we could be signing some top players.

They don't sign the very top tier of player generally, the other difference is they'll pay whatever it takes which helps a lot, I also think if a club shows it's signing players and trying to improve a player is more likely to look at them in a favourable manner thinking they might actually have ambitions to get some silverware.

Yes we're a big club, but we are seen as a bit of a joke around Europe these days, the team that plays good football but gets beaten as soon as it gets tough, in addition people know we always sell our best players and for the last 8 years really haven't shown much ambition with regards attaining silverware, you only need to hear the manager talk about how we have a very good season getting 4th to see that.

The best players want to win, they don't want to go to a club who come 4th every season and never seem to be able to win any trophies at all.

No I want us to sign quality but am realistic and realise that we can't sigh the top tier of players anymore, not after 8 years of failure, it is YOU who needs to wake up and realise we can't sign these kind of players, all summer you've been saying you think this player and that player is coming...and guess what they haven't, perhaps you should re-assess your opinion.

Spurs can't sign them either, but they are signing players within their reach and not scared to splash the cash, we're basically going after pipedream signings we'll never spend money on because they'll never come.

We signed Cazorla last year who's on the same level as Mata and even chosen over him on their national team. Chelsea didnt do much better than us last year, so you cant use that as an excuse either. So tell me again, why we cant sign Mata? Now crawl back to your cave and find something else to complain about.

For a start Mata wasn't top tier, he was a very good player but hadn't reached top tier level, secondly we signed Cazorla because Malaga have huge debts and had to sell so we went in with our usual low ball offer and they had little choice but to accept (only works with desperate clubs who have no choice). We've got no chance of getting Mata now, he's been playing at a top club performing, he knows he's above us now.

If you told me you believed in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy I wouldn't be entirely surprised to be honest (if you do they are real btw just saying some people don't believe in them, I know right.....how stupid eh I mean big metal things called planes can fly so why can't you have a flying sleigh or a bunny that delivers chocolate eggs )

Screw what Chelsea did last year, they are light years ahead of us on the football field, they have cabinets stuffed with trophies to back that up.

I personally don't know how you feel about this summer or what has happened over previous summers but to even suggest that Chelsea's best player would move here given our inability to complete even the most routine transfer negotiations beggars belief.

Spot on, you'd have to be totally deluded to believe he would, some Arsenal fans live in the clouds IMO, you've got to be realistic about players you can really sign.

Eto'o likely to sign for Chelsea.

Sakho linked with Liverpool. I was hoping he'd be a defender who's attainable for us.
