Another with Frimpong's hair.
How do you define "normal" clubs? If Everton and ourselves were in for the same player, they could make the same criticism of us, given that we're a much richer club than them. Moreover, our majority shareholder is a billionaire, so we can't claim the moral highground in that respect. Just because of the exorbitant sums of money City and Chelsea are able to spend doesn't make their ownership structure anymore "abhorrent" than any other privately owned football club.

To be honest, yes, we do. Having said that I hope we also make a small bit of space for Beink Afobe. I also think we need factor playing Theo up front more. I think we now have enough proper wingers to do that with some confidence.
Arsène Wenger says he expects to see Nicklas Bendtner leave Emirates Stadium this summer.

I define a normal club very much like Wenger does, one who travels with sweat, rather than petrol. Arsenal is a rich club and richer by far than most. How? Hard graft and smart leadership and luck. The teams who have a fundamentally changed dynamic where an influx of ridiculous amounts of money creates success, rather than slow progress and evolution, are not what I class as normal. You can disagree if you wish but the multi-billionaire's football club/plaything has changed everything.
I seriously doubt Everton supporters would reserve for us the same criticisims that are met out for Citeh. It's fairly obvious that the main percpeption of Arsenal from suppoters of other clubs is that we're a club that tries to live within its means but really should be spending a bit more. Everton supporters might lament that we're in the position we are and they aren't there (I know some Everton supporters have a lot of issues with Bill Kenwright for example) but I imagine most will realise that is through good management we are 'there', not from enabling a Football Manager cheat.
dont waste your time. you've already proved him wrong about the bolton bid, as he has ignored debating that any further. he's just a city fan trying to wum. best ignored.
Looks like Spurs are making a move for Parker http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14684548.stm
Can cross another one of the list soon, I guess.
Can't see us in for Elia, he's a winger whereas we need more of a central player.
Of the ones we've been linked to, Lucho Gonzalez or Yann M'Vila look the likeliest.
Can't see us looking past Cahill for the defender, expect we'll get the deal done but it will take a while as we tend to delay transfers for as long as possible.
Striker will probably be an unknown, as long as he's fast and can finish I'll be happy. With Van Persie, Campbell and the signing, hopefully this will see Chamakh relegated to fourth choice and eventually sold.
