The vast majority of Arsenal fans would be extremely happy if Stan made a significant investment into the club and made transfer funds available. We're simply bitter that our top four hegemony has been disrupted, and hitting out at City because of it. The reality is that we would have been a lot closer to them IF we had made proper signings in the summer, not turds like Park, Arteta and Santos. I don't like the way City's fortunes have changed so suddenly with the arrival of new owners, but to focus our attentions solely on them and criticise their fans for enjoying it is unfair.
This summer we gained around £70m from player sales as well as trimming the wage bill a fair bit losing first-team regulars like Cesc, Nasri, Clichy and squaddies like Bendtner, Eboue, Denilson and others.
How much did we spend?
The exact figure doesn't matter - all you need to know is that it's nowhere near £70m. We're only hoping for the money we've generated ourselves to be used.
That is bollox. I hate what City are doing because of the effect on football. There are players wasting away in that team that should be playing first team football week in week out elsewhere and they can't even get in their CC team. It is so fucking wrong and it is so fucking boneheaded of the FA and UEFA to allow this sort of thing to go on. Anywhere whether it is at City, Malaga or St Johnstone.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Think they said tonight that City have 23 players on loan or something? Did I seriously hear that right? Ridiculous.
A 'for example' from the era of Chelsea going nuts was SWP. We'd probably have signed him but Chelsea doubled our bid, bought him and stuck him on their bench. Cos they could. They also bought players and loaned them out to clubs who weren't their rivals. It makes a complete mockery of competition and sport. OK, it's not been a level playing field for years but the era of billionaires has taken it to a ridiculous new level.
Arseblog:Not sure what's funnier, Nasri throwing a punch and running off or the fact he would quite happily have gone off after 30 mins.
