Wrong..
Unless ofcourse you to provide any actual sources for the sh*t that's coming out of your a$$..
The moment you actually want to provide some evidence..I'm here to listen..if not just go back to your Liverpool thread..

Since you are so clever, you will have no problem finding and reading Arsenal's Annual Financial Report ... Come back when you do that, and we will continue this discussion ...

I really am..and thanks for noticing..
I have no problem providing annual reports after all as you know we are a public company..
But I'm not the one making claims for a few weeks now with no substantial evidence..

I think that you actually don't want the links to the annual reports posted ... And here is the reason why:

Statement of Accounts and Annual Report 2012/13

With the profits from property development dropping, and with the squad costs (transfer fees & wages) increasing every year, you are definitely dependent on regular Champions League revenues, like the Champions League prize money, the Champions League TV money, the Champions League match-day revenue and the Champions League related clauses in the sponsorship deals ...

As an Arsenal fan who had years of star players being sold and looking on while other teams spent big dollars and the only comeback I had was 'You're not financially responsible!' it feels GREAT now the tables have turned.

Well, it won't feel so great if you miss qualifying for the Champions League ... It might happen as early as this August ... I understand that the Sky generation fans are obsessed with "marque" signings, but that is exactly what is killing English football ... Inflated transfer fees, heavily overpaid players ... It's a shame that Arsenal have lost their way and joined that party ... Anyway, we will stick with the Borussia Dortmund model and still finish above you next season ...

Nah, I am not offended at all ... I am just surprised that instead of players with great potential like Draxler, Schneiderlin or Aurier, you have decided to go for older and much more expensive players like Sanchez, Khedira and Debuchy ... Personally, I can't see them getting you ahead of Man City and Chelsea this season, and they don't really have the room for improvement in the future ... I suppose that the top 4 finish is far too valuable for Arsenal, so Wenger has decided to play it safe ...

Özil, Mertesacker, Podolski!!!! OUR GUNNER WORLD CUP WINNERS.

If you aren't offended, why post so much here after multiple requests that you cease to do so?

Ahaha Schalke was asking for a fortune to give up draxler , schneiderlein is still a target and I guess wenger is avoiding AFCON or he doesn't like aurier's game I don't know.

Because I like discussing football with knowledgeable football fans ... I generally consider Arsenal fans as knowledgeable, unless something has changed in recent times ...

Are there any people you talk football with face-to-face?

Of course there are ...

C'mon Gmorgan, you have to agree that your position on whether or not our midfield is strictly your opinion and can't be stated as fact... right?

Debating is fine and welcomed but implying that we are not knowlegeable simply because we disagree with your opinion is trolling.

Why don't we put our difference in opinion to the test and put a wager on who comes out higher in this year's table b/w Arsenal an Livp?

[Next Coming]

Lol what's going on here??? Lolololololol

[IronChef]

You don't really understand what those numbers mean, don't you? You financial model is completely dependant on continuous presence in the Champions League ... Once you are out of it, you will be in huge trouble, with such a massive wage bill ...

I actually do that is the problem with you..
please explain why that is the case?

The cash reserve of £120.6 million and the operating profits of £22.2 million last year were created mostly through real estate sales of the Highbury development ... Now that the real estate is sold, you must rely on regular revenues ...

The link you posted states that the portion of the £22.9 Million in operating profits that was 'mostly created through real estate sales of the Highbury development' was £700,000. It was £1.9 Million the previous year. Hardly a major part of our profits at all.

Rumours we're signing Ospina. Would be a good signing for us

[LittleOzzy]

Please remember this thread is for Arsenal fans only.

If you want to discuss the team in a more neutral setting do so in the EPL thread.

If the trolling continues in this thread action will need to be taken against it. I don't mind a good debate, but remember to remain civil and that Arsenal fans need to come first in this thread.

Thank you.

Sami Khedira latest: Arsenal 'beat' Chelsea in race to land Real Madrid and Germany midfielder

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/foot ... 04299.html

Arsenal have beaten Chelsea in the race to sign Germany midfielder Sami Khedira, according to reports in Spain.

The 27-year-old, who missed the World Cup final after injuring his calf during the pre-match warm-up, will sign a four-year deal worth around £150,000-per-week very soon, according to Sport.

The newspaper says there is now 'no going back' on the €29m (£23.1m) deal, which has been agreed but not yet made official.

Ozil, Per, Podolski going on the initiative for us. Wenger recruiting in secrecy.
