Well now, got that one wrong. 35 million is good for us and Liverpool got him on 125k a week. He turned down 180k from us and supposedly 220k from Chelski just to get a shot at CM.Originally Posted by Frodo
Well now, got that one wrong. 35 million is good for us and Liverpool got him on 125k a week. He turned down 180k from us and supposedly 220k from Chelski just to get a shot at CM.
We also offered him less then Arsenal's offer. Hazard is on 200k a week and is our highest earner. No way the ox was getting more then that
Good luck to liverpool. He did sweet f&€k all to earn that price tag
Only 15m short for another bench player.
I reckon we will sell 2 more. Not sure who exactly but my guess is 2 more.
I'm ok with Sanchez leaving but if we sell him to City than Wenger will suffer badly from the fans. He is already hanging on by a thread, selling to City will ruin him.
well ibf. talk about a decent concise summation. Ill ask you next time

What a relief that Chelsea had Morata instead of Diego Costa. We would have struggled big time with Costa, but dealt with Morata fairly easily.
OK
I think we showed last time he played that we can nullify him as well, but very thankful he didn't play.
Seemed like a very pragmatic game from Wenger.
What you saw was the Minimal you expect from your team in a tough away game. Shame its taken close to 10 years to finally see it.
Don't know what you crowing about
The worse Arsenal get overall under Wenger the less likely Chelsea are at beating them
Charity Shield Cup Final League
You're their bitch at the moment
Rather be their bitch and English Champions then the opposite.
What about this time next year when one of the Manchester clubs is the EPL Champion and you are still Arsenal's bitch??
Your awfully confident that one of the Manchester clubs will win it this season. This is just like last year. They started strong and we were a little up and down. Once we hit out straps lets see if they can keep it going.
I was confident before last season finished that one of the Manchester teams would be winning it this season
5 games into it I am yet to have any doubts that this will not come to fruition
I ain't got any belief in your side even being a serious contender really
You got out of it easy last season with no UCL or Europa League football. This year you don't have the opportunity to bludge midweek
Weve won the league with UCL football before and can do it again. We've also got the best player (Hazard) and best CM (Kante). Ill wait till we play both Manchester clubs to see whats what
I won't touch the Hazard claim because that's probably close to the mark although there'd be a few contenders. But calling Kante the best CM is a stretch I reckon. Not least because its such a broad position, and the amount of different qualities someone can possess to be good there combined with how dependent on what else is around the player. He has some good qualities no doubt, and in what he does he is among the best in the league. But he also has a lot of things he does not excel in or is plain average.
As for title race, City looked invincible two months in to last season before it came crumbling down. However if they keep it together they will be very hard to stop. I can see them dropping points to big teams that are happy to cede possession but they should mop up the bottom 3/4 of the table.
United look pretty good, improved first team from last season and more depth. Still hints of some draws that might creep in again I reckon.
I think Chelsea's last season was a one off, they could be there or thereabouts but having the run they did and using only 13 players or so for however many months; won't happen again.
Could be Spurs season perhaps. Liverpool look good in attack again but probably will drop too many easy points.
Shaping up to be a good season anyway and I think the quality of teams at the top end of the table is improving again, perhaps in the next 2 - 3 years we will see English teams going deeper in Europe once more.

Great point Macca. You can be the best midfielder in one formation but struggle in another, even the opponents formation can ruin great midfielders. Kante is an amazing player but our game plan last week made him look above average for once and just to put things in perspective Ramsey looked like the best midfielder on the park and we wouldn't even call him our best midfield player normally. Funny game football.
Also, Member if one of those Manchester teams doesn't win the league it would be unbelievable. They have the deepest squads, the highest profile coaches, highest spending boards and unless they prioritise the Champions league one of them should win it, I agree. Also, if Pep finishes without a trophy again it would be hilarious/terrible.
A good example is N'Zonzi. I read an article on him a few months ago. Went from playing at Stoke playing with hardly any possession and probably spent most of the time scrapping for the ball, and as a result was not a superstar by any stretch.
Gets bought by Sevilla and brought into a possession based team controlling the game from the back and all of a sudden he's hot property and one of the best midfielders in the (Spanish, so no mean feat) league.
