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 ...


Sanchez is old?


He's so old that he was alive (1) when Liverpool last won the league.

I like that at 25 Sanchez is old, but Schneiderlein at 24 is young with potential

:nod:

guy was amazing last year. Hopefully a full season of health next year and for him to build upon last year. Think he can reach 20+ goals in a season? I think he can get to 18-20 without peno's he's going to need some(we hardly get any lol) to get that # to a great 22-25. Should we expect him to be as reliable as a goal scorer next year? can't wait to see what he becomes.

I assume GMORGAN didnt reply to this? who likes facts? when you can make up stuff?

I always advocate this site for finances.
http://swissramble.blogspot.co.uk/

Here is a good breakdown.

In essence we are the 5th team to have revenues of around £300million a year.
our wages to turnover is around 50-60% the last 10 years.
in 2012 - 2013, outside of Man U, Norwich and Swansea we had the best wages to turnover ratio.
and This was before Puma, the New emirates deal and new t.v deal which could be around £75million a year more (conservative).

In short, we will struggle without the £30million from Champs league money.. as Gmorgan stated. :)

Manquillo deal has fallen through apparently. Corporal jenkinson to challenge debuchy for the spot.

Just Fabianski to replace now and a month and a half to turn this window from good to great. 1 more top signing and the squad signings to shore up the team(young back up CB etc)
