Mourinho is a fcking psycho in truth if he believes his own rubbish. He contradicts himself and hyperbolises everything.

He's like a sh*tty eastenders character coming back for a second stint.

Do you actually think he believes all the stuff he is saying? Of course he doesn't.

Fully expect us now to move for a 30 million plus player in the summer now after seeing those figures.
Will be a bit of a joke if we don't.

Bit of a joke as it is tbh.

175 or 180 they'll be in the summer apparently (not including the cash reserve)

i wonder how much of that they can/are likely to go and spend.
would like to see another swiss ramble finance for dummies on it :pac:

do you why the rest won't/can't be spent?

bad2dabone · 15-02-2014 12:35AM

the fact is we could have 200m in the bank but if arsene considers a player overpriced he won't spend it. willing to offer 30m for drax, not willing to go 37m. Willing to offer 25m for higuain, not to go 33m.

batistuta9 · 15-02-2014 12:38AM

Giroud compared in numbers over the last two seasons with others in the PL. Ricky Lambert is better.
over the two seasons he's only scored 3 against the other top 7 clubs

Draxler has a release clause this summer for 37m. Why pay that in January?

this weeks top 5

in at number 5. give him time to bed in.
first charting in early december and still hanging on in there at number 4. he might've come in useful this season.
a new entry at number 3. So no one else gets him.
down one place at number 2. So no one else gets him
and up sixteen places this week after the financial results to number 1. So no one else gets him by the club would've know these figures well in advance

So with the money coming in every season we can now sign a world class player every single transfer window and still have change afterwards?

Will we though? Nah, Özil is the last top class we we buy. Unless we bag a bergkamp or Henry from somewhere.

jank · 15-02-2014 04:48AM

They should print out those sentences from Mourinho and paste them up on the Arsenal dressing room wall in a huge font. It is up to the players at the end of the day to go out and win something…. lots of motivation there now to give it a crack. If the players anyway at all respect Wenger then they will be raging with those comments. If Arsenal limp away in the next few weeks, then serious questions has to be asked about senior players and Wenger. This could be the catalyst.

I can't handle such positivity early in the morning.

Santi101 · 15-02-2014 10:36AM

Meh, the Jose stuff is all paper talk. We know he's classless scum, I mean the man gouged another person's eye at a football match. That's fairly low.

Mourinho loves the English media who lap his garbage up, usually transparent crap like the recent stuff about not winning the league despite Chelsea possessing a squad that cost a bomb to build. As opposed to the Spanish media who never took to him while Barcelona whipped his arse into submission, ageing the lad about 10 years in 2 or 3. That was great to see.

Regardless, for me Wenger absolutely has to win something this season. Its criminal that we have Giroud as our only striker and I have doubts about Arsene'e ability to get over the line anymore. I cant see a better chance than this season with all the upheaval and lack of a really great stand-out side in England.

I don't think he has to win something tbh. The team needs more players and experience competing at the top level.

This season was very much the first year of the new Arsenal IMO. The Emirates is finally becoming a fortress. We've a good squad and are going to sign a top class striker whenever we find one.

Trophies will come. Yeah it'll be a pisser if it's not this year but they'll come.

Completly agree. It's a transition year and we are doing great to be even in with a shout for titles. One striker for a season was always going to be a losing situation so fair play to the team for still being there.

Another transition year??
How many transition years will he get to win something?

This is like watching Lost with the waiting for something to happen.

I think this is a fair comment. It is the first year we are realistically competing in terms of finance, settled squad, etc. There might not be a trophy this season but I think there is an expectation in the next two seasons that we will deliver.

What do you mean another? This is the first real transition year. This is the first year in which we have gone from simply having to fight to stay involved, to actually challenging. The last six or seven seasons were simply about maintaining our position in the top four so we could challenge in due time. This is the first season where we have had a realistic shot of challenging for the title and so far we have done exactly that. If we are no closer this time next year, then questions will need to be asked but as of now, Wenger has done an amazing job in keeping us competitive while operating on a shoestring in terms of transfers and having to sell our best players year after year.

I challenge you to find another club who underwent as much financial pressure as we have and still remained there or thereabouts. 99% of cases, without a billionaire owner, results in one or the other. We did both.

It pains me now that it's nearly 9 years since we have won silverware! I mean NINE years! When you think about it it's really depressing!!!

Financial pressure?

The finances are always put before the team.

Because of how tight we have been over the last ten years. We needed to be tight in order to ensure we could challenge when the time was right. I.E. the present.

Thought last year was more of a transition year tbh. RVP gone, a good few new players to settle in, only scraped 4th. I would call what united are going through a transition year.

I think the squad is much too settled now to be calling this a transition year, not to mention how well they've done. The only short comings imo are a lack of variety in our play mainly due to the injuries to Theo and Ramsey (and reluctance to utilise Pod and Gnabry more maybe) as well as a decent alternative to Giroud up front.

The transition year thing has been trotted out for years now and I genuinely think this is the first time since maybe 08 that there isn't really an element of truth to it.

But we also needed to provide cover in the team and even with the money we failed to do so. (except for one crock that we got for free).
