Anyone who says Arsenal are trying to buy success needs a kicking. Heads gone


Obvious sarcasm was obvious

Arsenal have tripled their transfer record to get fourth place. If we tripled out transfer record, people would say we're buying the title :colonhash:


Arsenal and United earned their place and live within their means (AFAIK). Buying the title refers to clubs spending beyond their means (chelsea/City) massively with short term success in mind. I'd never accuse United of buying the title even if they'd spent 100m on Bale.

You just paid more for one player than Manchester City or United have ever paid by over £10 million.

Can't play that card anymore.


Well 1) It's Arsenal's money not some Arab geezer's and 2)Our net spend is still about 60m vs 300m for Utd and god knows what for City/Chelsea

Heaads gone.
A lot of tweets flying about saying Fellaini is signed...

I'd say you didn't spend enough. 100 odd million in the bank and all you've spent is 50 odd doesn't seem right some how. Didn't buy the players you really needed.

Wenger has played a masterstroke here, knew he wouldn't be making the signings he wanted so bought in Ozil to impress the fans. And I can say its worked!

Its a ****ing panic buy...what were those dumb**** doing all summer, surely they realised there was a clause in Fellaini's contract? Overpaying by over 4 million pounds.....Wow never been so mad even though we managed to sign a player at the end.

It was a joke.

How can the Coentrao rumour be gaining speed at this time.
Lukaku gone to Everton. Very pleased to see Chelsea weakened up front.

Yeah, no idea.

Coentrao's decent, but a loan what? We're not getting rid of Evra, so he's going from Madrid's bench to ours? I don't get that.
Coentrao....?????

What's happend with Buttner and fabio? LOL...

Why are we getting Coentrao?? Where did that even come from?
We'll play Coentrao left wing, he'll be great there. This loan rumour is more exciting than Fellaini ffs.

This broke just as the window finished that we were TRYING to get him on loan and it seems we got him? After Everton rejected £15m bid for Baines.

Read what you said on both post.

You've just gone and spent £43million on one player = attempt to buy success. Think or at least be explicit before speaking.

Cretin.
