The Arsenal Thread XX

Looks like Falcao going to Real.

Benzema to Arsenal?

being brought by madrid or loaned..

If brought, then we should be all over benzema...

Would be the biggest stroke of luck in the window, and no other big team seems to need a striker now liverpool have balo, (well chelsea kind of do, but I cant see them breaking the bank for one..) so we would seem to not have much competition

So what. Porto actually won the competition and did face a few good teams(Monaco and United) so what's your point here? Plus are you seriously trying to compare the quality of Arsenal to Porto?

Villareal and Roma were not of the quality of Manchester United in the PL Fergie years.

Arsenal has to play against BVB in champions league, as usual. That is getting boring! am I the only one who thinks so?

Falcao's injury problems are an issue.

Same here. Doesn't excite me.

He'd fit right in at Arsenal then.

Speaking of which, what's the situation with Diaby atm?

Started for the U-21's today. Came off at half time.

He'll be like a new signing if he can actually stay fit. Not even joking.

You've totally and utterly missed the point I was making...

Roma and Villereal were about the same level as Monaco and United (their worst season up until 2013) and so you can't beat us with the easy teams stick and not accept that Mourinho had it the same way. Our 2009 season was good in Europe, it doesn't count as doing nothing...

Regardless, Abramovic made it impossible for us to compete financially, you're the ****ing reason we've been poor in Europe so how you can complain I've no idea.

Compare Porto's finances to Arsenals. Even during your drought you can still get better players than Porto can. That's not even a question who had it tougher.

It's like telling a guy without many chest muscles to bench 100kg and a guy with chest muscles to do it. It's clear who is more likely to do it.

Abramovic wasn't at fault when the past 4 transfer records have been broken by Real Madrid... Inflation in football occurs via more than one league. It's not just us. It's Arsene's fault for being so stringent with his policy and despite paying of majority of the stadium debt and in a comfortable financial position he is still being stubborn and not filling gaps in the squad. Don't see why Chelsea are to blame, if you want to blame inflation, blame Real Madrid and now Manchester United. Heck Liverpool have completely inflated the market for English players while we're at it.

I'm not saying money = success in the cups, obviously luck plays a part (monaco reaching the final in 04 and porto winning it for instance). Abramovic got the ball rolling don't even try to absolve yourselves (chelsea) of the blame for that. Before him every club pretty much spent within their means or not too far beyond (bar the government funded spanish clubs). Chelsea and then City and PSG have led to wage inflation to the nth degree.

Well, well, another twist in Falcao/Real plot. Turns out the Italian journalist who's a fraud maybe wrong and Real rejected Falcao and that judas RVP might go to Real instead.
