lol i agree, im sure these guys know far more about business than the billionaries running our club

I look forward to tnext season listening to arsenals media luvvy fans banging on about how great their fotoball is eg nick hornby , melvyn bragg and err lofty watts

as untd take the prem lge and champs lge again

Maybe Arsenal fans think the other clubs are gonna stand still while they keep developing, thats probably why they’re saying their era has come, no offence, but i see Liverpool making more of an impact next season than Arsenal. About the Ramsey situation, weren’t there two French teenagers we signed earlier this year which Wenger was also in the running for, but didn’t get? Arsenal fans didn’t lose sleep over it and with Wenger’s record with British players, we shouldn’t be worried, i agree with the Birmingham fan who said in a few years, the kid will probably be sold to them.

Good luck to Ramsey at Arsenal, too bad there just isn’t any luck there for him as a British player.

Anyway does anyone actually think that going into default on the loan there won’t be a businessman with the money to buy an asset at a knockdown price that churns out huge profits on a yearly basis?

Oh, and the guy talking about getting the numbers wrong above, if you actually read the post you might notice that Nani “got younger” because the second match Scott talked about was before the first one

…and (2) Buying young players who haven’t turned the corner yet and helping them make that transition is not the same as buying high priced, well known young talent that has already made the step up. Tevez, Rooney et al were not DEVELOPED by Manchester. That’s just silly.

rooney at 18 was clearly the finished article
ditto for ronaldo, anderson etc

Carrick £16m and in his 2 years what has he won 2 pl titles and a cl
song and flamini won nowt in the last 2 years right or wrong?

gooners seem to convenintly forget the big money spent on jeffers reyes etc who all flopped

wenger maybe taking the easy option by only spending a few quid and then saying “look what i have spent next to untd and chelsea , no wonder they are above me”
sorry arsene you have by all accounts got the money now stop turning into another excuse maker like oleary “my team arejust kids etc” and either win things or admit you got it wrong

also there are plenty of players in that arsenal team who were seasoned internationals when they came to the cub
hleb roskicy gallas etc so stop playing the we pick em up as unknowns off tiny clubs line cos it isn;t true

well anderson looks like being a world class player and has out played the much vaunted cesc on 2 occasions so £15m looks fine to me
as for ronaldo £12m for a guy who is the best player in the world now a snip
and if we do sell him your looking at a mark up of £60m which puts wenger anelka deal in the shade

as for wenger not spending money
Im not sure why gonners boast about this surely they should be asking why he isnt spending a few bob and winning trohies

what surprises me though is that while ferguson is always complaining that a club of our size shud have won more Champions Leagues Arsene seems perfectly happy with Arsenal’s grand total of 0 ! another point i’d liek to make is that i’m startin to see arsenal as nearly men…i mean its no point developing youngsters if they’re gna start leaving before their peak eg Flamini and possibly Adebayor..

Agreed that the foreign ownership/debt in english football is ridiculous especially in cases such as Utd and Liverpool, clubs easily big enough to survive on their own. Man Utd had no need to go in to debt whatsoever, it’s literally just to line someone elses pockets, it shouldnt be allowed!

I hope Aaron Ramsey is now allowed to get on with his career in peace, he shouldnt have to defend turning down Utd for Arsenal, it’s his own choice.
