United sign Sanchez

City sign Laporte

Arsenal likely to sign Aubameyang

Spurs likely to sign Lucas Moura

 

and people wonder why fans are upset at the clubs transfer activity. There’s only one player there whose position I don’t think we need to strengthen and it’s Laporte but then again if we were in for Van Djik as rumoured then the club/Conte clearly felt we needed to. Nonetheless they’re all quality players and big name signings.

sanchez will improve utd, but the rest haven't even played in this league to make a statement like that. there's no guarantee those players will be as good as people keep making out. 

City are f**king relentless, somebody is going to be a bench bitch or be sold/loaned. So much attacking quality and adding even more to it

Of course it’s too soon to say they’ll be hits in this league but to deny the quality those players posess is ridiculous. They ARE quality players, whether they adjust to the league doesn’t change that.

We are no longer in the elite class when it comes to transfers, I made this statement last summer also. Fans need to accept this else they will he unhappy for year's to come.

sane is out for 6 weeks ffs and they want to dip in the market again. their spending is ridiculous and not beneficial to football at all. hypocritical of us to say, but for years we've been reigning in our spending due to ffp. pep is a fantastic coach, but he can only show his abilities as a coach by constantly buying top players at an astronomical price to improve. bring up some youth or something, phil foden for e.g is rotting on the bench. i feel the same about our youth players too. where does it end? you will never see english players come through and improve at the top level if the top 3/4 aren't willing to consistently play them. 

There, I corrected that for you. Pep can only work in teams that are ready to spend sh*t loads of money and would not win a league if given the team Conte had last season.

City have spent 280 million on arrivals already, and they've just put in a 50 million bid for Mahrez, f**king ridiculous.

Their departures are 85 million, so if they do get Mahrez that's still a -250 million net spend... 

They're getting away with murder. 

Maura could be a good signing for Spurs. Lamela type player that Poc likes. Laporte will be a flop or a big hit. King Auba the same.

How are they getting away with this? It's a huge disadvantage to the rest of the teams in the league, I thought FFP was supposed to eliminate this sort of thing? If anything it's helping football get to this point. 

 

It gets better, poor Pep was complaining about the Sanchez transfer and how he's somehow disadvantaged with finances. If Mourinho said any of this bollox...

We aren’t really in a place to criticise, that was us once upon a time. City just have even more of it than we did.

Not exactly, back then FFP wasn't implemented, it was pretty much a free market of spending for everyone as much as you want, whoever has the funds. Now it's a case of more corruption and leniency because of the strict regulation. You have to make as much as you buy, yet PSG & City are self-sponsoring and doing all sorts of dodgy trades. There is no way they're making as much fair revenue than they are spending. That puts everyone else at an unfair disadvantage. 

I would say that's completely different, spending the money isn't the bad thing, it's how they can spend that much but nobody else can. I can't remember Abramovich stopping the Glazers from spending millions.

considering where their owners are from and how human rights are down the list out there, you could be right there.

Cech with an absolute hawler 

good lad. He is a blue deep down 

Lol 3-1 to Swansea 

3:1

Arsenal hate it when teams get at them, why we don't do this to them anymore is a mystery to me. We freeze when we come up against them these days.

And we lost to this bunch FFS.....

But Sky have been constantly reporting that it’s a new era for Arsenal 

ArsenalFanTv gonna be poppin tonight, blud.

This is the annoying thing.

It’s on Conte really, his only victory over them that’s exacty what we did too, got at them. It’s really frustrating that we don’t do that anymore. That’s why we had there number for so many years.

Full time 3-1 to Swansea arsenal back to being arsenal.

yet they seem to stop us very strange

They could be right, a new era into mid table mediocrity could well be where they are heading 

Aubameyang is reportedly already on a plane back to Dortmund...
