edi287: You're not listening. . . .who said Benzema and Cavani were available for 50m? Who said the clubs would sell or the players would want to come? Do you think simply having money to spend means players will join? Or are you now the official agent for Benzema and Cavani? ![]()
16 +5+4 = 25 20+7 = 27 Considering Walcott was out for most of the season and Welbeck was just adjusting to the team, is it unrealistic to expect them to bridge a mere 2 goal gap, especially with the anticipated improvement in defence due to Saint Petr's addition?
Cool your jets - what makes City 'FAR stronger'? In the games played so far the only addition they've fielded is Sterling, so they've effectively played the same squad as last season, yet results are coming in. That again shows that it's not strictly about signings, even though they have made signings. So why can't our own results improve as well?
There's no fact in what you've stated - it's purely an opinion. We will find out the truth in May. ![]() 2 Likes |

debosky:1. Yes they were. Legit sources have carried this story throughout the window...not your typical rumor spewing site like the sun. You think Cavani is content playing on the wing? did zlatan not say he wasn't sure he was going to stay at psg this season. The fact that reputable journos said psg would listen to offers for Cavani is good enough for me. 2. Two strikers of theirs scored more than 3 of ours (I didn't even add drogba) what does that tell you? Welbeck started more games than remy, That was also Costa's first season. So no excuse for that. Oh yeah and lets forget that costa was struggling with his hamstring injury all season. So yes I don't see Giroud or Welbeck outscoring him. Cech signing will not cyre Giroud of his imbe nature. 3. Because they added the best midfielder in the bundesliga last season and arguably the best defender in the la liga last season. Oh yeah and Sterling has added a different dimension to their front line. There's also Delph as well. Thats why they're top of the table with no goals conceded so far. The addition of de bruyne and otamendi will only make them stronger. 4. Yes we will see come May. But its an open secret that this team will come no higher than 3rd and get knocked out in the second round of the champs league after a "spirited attempt" at trying to overturn a home defeat. |

Good thoughts @edi287 and @Debosky. You guys are saying the correct things only that the perspectives are different. While edi exudes the feelings of disgruntled fans, Debosky brings in the optimistic aspect that explains why whether it rains or shines we are still Arsenal and will support the club. That said, on paper Arsenal shouldn't win the league, Man City should because having spent more than anyone else, they have the best squad. But as we all know, in football; 1+1 is not always 2. That explains why Crystal Palace beat Chelsea at Stamford bridge last weekend, and Swansea who only got a freebie beat Man Utd who spent £120m. So then does Arsenal have a team that can win the title? No! It is possible that Arsenal can win the title? Yes! 1 Like |

How much did ManU spend last season on buying players, where did they end on the table? Two seasons ago when Tottenham were spending money like a deranged rich man, where did they land on the table at the end of the season? Barcelona have a transfer ban yet they are still challengers and the ones to beat. We can moan on and on about not buying players, but that is not the pragmatic way to football development for our club. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by debosky(m): 7:05pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
edi287: Reputable journos? Give me a break. Why didn't other clubs desperate for strikers sign them up? Or is Arsenal the only team looking for strikers?
I didn't add Sanchez who more than held his own in scoring stats in his debut season as well. Oh yeah let's forget that Giroud missed nearly 3 months of the season too, or that it was WELBZ first season.
Signing KDB and Otamendi has nothing to do with their league position as those guys haven't kicked a ball, so signings are NOT why they are top of the table. In terms of players on the field and points so far, Citeh have secured what they have with only Sterling as an addition, no different in numbers to our addition of Cech. I don't dispute they've strengthened, but they've also sold players too - we haven't sold anyone except Diaby. Arteta will be LANS and Joel Campbell is back in the fold - he's also LANS ![]() ![]()
Yeah, Chelski spent all that money and got knocked out of the CL too. Citeh spent all the money and ended up trophyless last time round. Arsenal won a cup. I'm not delighted at the lack of signings, but I'm not despondent like you that's for sure. Can this team win the title? If folk haven't written Chelski off then yes it can. 1 Like |

debosky:1.The same journos who told you about Martial signing before it truly got out. Manure and us were/are the only 2 clubs desperate for a first choice striker. Chelsea, City, Bayern, Barca did not need one. Van gaal is a dull man, so idk. 2. If you add Sanchez, then we might as well add Hazard too. Giroud missed 3 months of the season, so?? He still played a game more than Costa and still scored 6 less. Welbeck has been playing in the epl for a while now, so the first season excuse does not cut it with me. Costa in his first season in english football scored 20. Thats a World Class Striker. 3. Sterling and a Change of formation has made them look dangerous. Has Cech signing stopped Giroud from being a pipe?? The players city sold didn't contribute that much last season. They have Bony and Aguero...dzeko and jovetic didn't add much LAST season. You mean the same Joel Campbell that flopped at Villareal?? I bet you think he's going to "do a coquelin" right? Debuchy who Bellerin has turned to Second choice option?? Please tell me one player who is out injured that's better than the ones that has played the first 4 games?? 4.Did Chelsea get beaten at home by a Monaco side without 5 first teamers?? City got knocked out by Barca....no shame in that. I'm saying it as it is and not speaking from blind optimism. The same bar cech were 12 points behind chelsea, Chelsea with pedro and the defenders they signed are stronger than last season. Simple as that. |

Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by edi287: 9:02pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
sod09:Exactly!! A new signing would've taken the pressure off Alexis just like Ozil's signing did with Cazorla and both Ozil and Cazorlas did on Wilshere. Watch the fans turn on Alexis if he doesn't pick up. We don't have one player capable of scoring 20 or more in the league. |
Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: Finally Reborn! The Red & White Army: FA CUP Champions 2020 by edi287: 9:08pm On Sep 02, 2015 |
Spy360:At the beginning of the season, it was widely recognized that we needed to address 3 areas in other to be true title contenders. Wenger addressed only one of it and left the other 2. Giroud is our only TRUE out and out striker and we all know he's average. For us to win the league, it'll take a big screwup by city and chelsea to stay this useless all season which is frankly almost impossible. 4 games and we're already 5 points behind. Out of those 4 matches, only Liverpool should've been a test for us (maybe palace.) |

Pataki: Your argument is like saying I know someone that read and still failed so reading doesnt guarantee anything Chelsea bought Costa Fabregas add matic to it without those they wont win the league Barcelona bought Suarez, Matthieu and Rakitic and won the treble without those 3 I doubt they would win. Despite the treble they still have bought Arda Turan and Alex Vidal Bayern won the league last year still went ahead to buy Vidal and Douglas costa, you think say na "too much money dey worry them"? You now see why I think the entire Arsenal organisation fans, coach, player, stadium even cheerleaders are a joke? You have a hole in the team the common sense thing to do is to fill it Arsenal last season were one or 2 players away from a complete team, Now you didnt do anything about those what are you expecting You all keep talking about winning a FA cup which isnt a big deal to any serious club but what you forget is the spending you made those seasons that you won those cups. Ozil and Sanchez are signings Arsenal wouldnt have made in the prior 8yrs of trophylessness and you made 2 good signings and broke the trophyless duck Anyway nothing consign me.

raumdeuter: Apply common sense small when you type ramudeen. How many players did ManCity buy last season and what did they win? You are here foolishly implying that unless a team breaks the bank, they cannot win the league. How much did Liverpool spend and what did they win last season? It is easy for you to raise points about teams that spend to buy players and win a cup. At the same time, it is also easy for me to raise points about teams that spend zillions and win nada. Who cares what Bayelsa Mumunich won in that monotonous league of yours? Oshisco. Just bring Alagolo along when you face us in the Champions League. 2 Likes |

edi287:Every football dummy knew Arsenal needed new signings in those positions. Wenger's inability to do so for me shows arrogance and a false sense of confidence. His excuse is that the right quality aren't available, and I think he is right in a way looking at the whole picture- Man Utd spending £120m and yet still look hungry, only City did a good job in spending £150m which is quite huge. There were just not enough quality. In another way he is wrong, Wenger had the option of Schniederlin for £25m, same with Bacca or Martinez but turned them down choosing to keep faith with Coquelin and Giroud respectively. Even though those for me will not guarantee any significant improvement in the team, they would have given us more options. On the final analysis, Wenger's choice of keeping faith with his players can only be justified (or otherwise) at the end of the season. Only let him be willing to step down if he fails. |
