Hmm... I Wonder if signing for a Ukrainian club whilst the "honeymoon" period of the Euros is fresh on the mind is a good idea. With no Johnny Foreigners swanning about and his first harsh winter I reckon he'll be pining for a move

Not sure what the maths are, but if they sell Van Persie, how much do Arse stand to lose if they don't qualify for CL next year? And even if they got, say, £20m for him, would selling him cover those potential losses?

Or maybe they're thinking about running his contract down, scraping Champs League next year by gambling on him hitting another 3,457 goals in the PL, then letting him leave on a free end of next season. Thus ending with a potentially healthier return, and also giving Giroud and Polololski a season to settle in without the scary proposition of having to fill the Rapist's boots from day one.

Someone posted on teletext that if RVP goes to MCFC for 22m then MCFC would have given 93m to AFC in transfer fees in last 3 season... What have they spent it on? Their turnover is over 200m 2nd only to United. Yet no big signings?

It is really strange. Their commercial revenue is good, they have made all these player sales, and yet they seem to not want to spend. Where does the money go?

'As an FYi there supposedly IS a press embargo on something. Brazil and Talksport got gonaded by press office/club.

Brazil's claiming he only meant it AbV, acting all innocent now.

As Sherlock would say, something is a foot'


Supposedly something to do with 'investment'..

Some to USA, some to Uzbekistan, and the rest in debt service I'd hope. Gangstas and Bankstas sucking them dry.

One thing you have to give ENIC is that they don't appear to have taken much cash out of the club. Haven't put too much in either, it's fair to say.

Is it not paid off yet though? Or at the very least, are they not reaping some rewards that come from a new stadium? Surely it can't all be funnelled into paying it off while at the same time severely hampering their ability in the transfer market? If us and Chelsea have our act together for example, we could lock them out of the CL spaces, and that's without considering Liverpool getting back to where they were. I just can't believe they would set it up so that they would be at a disadvantage like this...when exactly are they supposed to benefit from the stadium?

And considering they were title contenders and have dropped to 4th place contenders, will we as 4th place contenders have to be content with 8+ years of being top 8 contenders while we fail to compete? How long exactly will it be before we would actually reap the benefits of the new stadium? 2025? It could be far too late by then.

Thing is, I'm sure the ultimate plan at the club is to get the stadium built and that this will ultimately allow us to compete with clubs with bigger finances. But Arsenal have the plush stadium, the turnover, and yet show no signs of reaping the benefits. I'd like to think we have a plan in place that we don't have have to suffer like they have.

It's possible that their wages are hindering their ability to repay the stadium debt.


But this isn't really the thread for that discussion.. :(

Well my next door neighbours son is a producer at TalkSport.

I've just texted him to see whether there's anything in that claim, his reply "haha! complete flimflam".

Yet more attention-seeking gonads from 'Akqayid' then.

I'm trapped in a logical loop..


I see that he says there is nothing going on, but if they did get gonaded on talksport, they would have been told not to tell anyone about it so of course he would have to tell you there was nothing going on.. :|

but that's exactly the same response if there was nothing going on...

I'm going to go sit in the corner and rock back and forth. Let me know when it's over.

Even stranger then. What is the problem with spending? It can't just be Wenger's reluctance can it? Does he really want to not buy quality? You can kind of see a shift in policy with Arteta, Benayoun and Podolski signings, but they aren't exactly signings to make the whole world sit up and take notice.

...Sorry for taking the thread OT though guys.
 
He literally loves young boys!! :)

Just thinks he can build a team and doesn't need to spend. And the board have been more than happy to have a manager who wasn't asking for transfer funds funds as they delude their fan base that champs league footy every year constitutes success!! :)

Not so. TalkSport regularly have press officers ringing them up, either directly representing clubs or more often agencies representing players; sometimes to address something which has been broadcast, other times to actually feed something which they want to be broadcast. Donna Cullen did a lot of it when we were embroiled in the Stratford site fiasco.

I've known him over 30 years. Trust me, if he says this claim is flimflam then yes - it IS flimflam.
