    It’s normal practice that when you go shopping that you pay the asking price, I think we missed a trick here, wasted two weeks and are back at square one. No one is available for normal money.

    It’s difficult. It does seem insane spending these sorts of amounts but that’s the market these days.
    One thing’s for sure, we are extremely unlikely to win the league with the current squad.
    The only slight counterpoint to that is the current team do seem very tight, adding the wrong person and personality could mess that up.

    I honestly thought this club had changed since the "£40m plus a pound" days.
    We haven't, we are still the bloody same.
    Arteta must be furious. He will go to City once Pep is sacked. Can't blame him tbh.

    This guy has 30 first team games in his whole career. 100m Euros for that? Chelsea can have him.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    No, a joke for being ridiculous and having hypocrites associated with the club who half heartedly spew this ridiculous garbage.

    I am really angry right now, because honestly I thought we had turned the page this year i.e. decided to compete like the proper big club we are.... but this saga just shows this will probably be a fluke year and we will go back to being the "big club with a small club" mentality pretty soon.

    Not to bore anyone, our final offer apparently is 95m euro, Chelsea's is 5m euro more.

    We have been scouting this kid for almost a year and have turned his head to such an extent that he has repeated over and over again that he wants Arsenal(still did so yesterday), despite being clearly inimical to his interests and that of his club.

    Currently he is the hottest young prospect in Europe and from what I have seen from the boy so far, he's going to be a name we are all going to remember for a long time.

    More important than my assessment of the kid's talent is that the people we pay salaries to handle this sort of thing know this and agree with it, thus the reason for the protracted soap opera we have witnessed.

    I have said it a thousand times over the almost 2 decades we've been on these different fora, true competition is about doing whatever it takes to win (obviously within reason) and competing with all the resources you have available (you f*cking don't hold back). Clearly anyone who thinks being successful in this sport (or any other) is about only competing on the pitch is obviously ridiculous and I will say it over and over again.

    An Arsenal fan who chooses to deny our history and thinks we got to being top dawg by always doing the "right thing" or approaching things in the "right manner" is clearly a hypocrite.

    Chelsea are only competing and doing what we use to do when we had people with a clear vision running the club, this season might be a write off for them (not sure that's even true, look at Man U), but they will be back where they belong as long as jokers keep filling this club.
