Arsenal Thread 2013/14

[MC ID]

Does anyone else suspect the reason Arsenal bid £40million is because Liverpool said £50million so they know full well they won't get him and just pretend to be spending big (like they said last year). I wouldn't be surprised if this was just some weird ploy to sell more season tickets before they shout the whole 'no value' shite again.

I think in fairness to Wenger the celebrations at finishing fourth last season were a reflection of the long-term significance of that event.

I think he got the nod that a CL place this season in conjunction with their capital commitments on the stadium significantly diminishing, was a green light for him to start spending some fairly serious dough. Their top four finish has cemented Arsenal's place among the new 'Big 4', not that Sky with ever refer to it thus. As a slight aside, notwithstanding our inclusion it was a little dispiriting to see those journalists in the Mirror the other day (with one exception) predict the same top 4 as each other for next season, just in different order, as was the case with united, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal from 2004-2009. I'm glad we're inside the tent, but it's not good for the game and certainly isn't going to be reversed under FFP.

Arsenal will be able to fend off the challenge from Spurs and Liverpool with relative ease going forward and could have a serious say in the title race from time to time. This state of affairs would have been far less certain if Spurs had finished fourth. To me last season's race for fourth was a seismic event in the medium and long term battle for power in the English game.

Their methods have been questionable and their history is littered with more skeletons than any other big club, including united, but in terms of making the most of the hand they've been dealt in recent years to the furtherance of their club's strategic interests, Arsenal have completely outflanked the hapless FSG and the overly cautious Daniel Levy.

This top four will become even more calcified than the previous one and Arsenal have now cemented their place in it imo.

If you think Liverpool fans are bitter now, see what they're like in five years, those of them that are left that is....

This, from the moment FFP was announced I thought whoever made top 4 in the year or so before it came into effect would be the top 4 essentially forever, especially with the new TV deal.

Liverpool's owner rejection of the bid was 'what have they been smoking at the Emirates?' I take that's a no.

I see arseholes have put in a bid of £40 million for a player. Can someone explain how this is a 'good' thing for football?

Gooners getting giddy - gotta laugh!
This will end one way... with Suarez going to Real Madrid! They'll use the money they get for Higuain to fund the deal, and boom... two unrealistic Arse targets fucking gone!
Wenger will end up putting in an eleventh hour bid for someone like Odimwinge.
