In the PL Arsenal FC has a spending of £2.01B

In the PL Todd Boehly has a spending of £1.32B

This stat is meaningless without providing additional information, such as over what period each spend covers, net or gross spend, ultimately focus should be on NET spend.

Not sure what point you are trying to make.
Cool your jets lad.

I'm obviously showing the ridiculous amount Tod Boehly has spent in a short space of time

Lazio have an obligation to buy Tavares if certain triggers are met, probably CL qualification I imagine?

Seville have an option to buy Lokonga for £10m and a 25% sell on fee I think

Looks like Zubimendi has blown out the Bindippers as well as us. The guy has no ambition whatsoever, just wants to stay at Sociedad!



Tbf to him they are his home town club and are in champions league this season too - yes people might say that they have no chance of winning it, but then again do we ? A lot is made of the greed of modern day footballers (and rightly so), but this guy i s putting his family and his own happiness over wealth and I wont knock him for it
It's quite refreshing to see.

The Liverpool supporters reactions are hilarious :lol:
Are they holding a Protest & Vigil or have they demanded an apology from the Pope? :D
And they are still c.unts of the highest order 8)

I don't know who you're talking about (on the bus) but it sounds like they're all c.unts.

🚨 @gunnerblog:

Arsenal have yet to make an offer to Real Sociedad for Mikel Merino. 🇪🇸

The club is still considering moving forward with a deal that is likely to cost around €30m. 💭

So that puts him on the same quality level as nketieh then I guess ? :rubchin: :roll: :banghead: :banghead:
And Martinelli cost £6m, how did that work out.

Actually think I read once you said Martinelli should leave Arsenal in order to save his career, that statement hasn’t aged well.




Show me where I advocated spending big money on a player :rubchin: If you werent braindead you might see see that I was pointing out the contradiction between pricing a squad player who isnt good enough for us at 30m, and then buying a player to fill a key position for 30m - nketieh is overpriced pure and simple, and every Gooner bar the most gullible/stupid/retarded can recognise that :roll:

I'd hold off on the martinelli narrative if I was you too - last season he regressed badly under the cone boy's leadership, so maybe wait a few years to see who is proven right on that one

Martinelli cost £6m
According to Transfermarkt he's now worth £70m. Not that we want to sell him.

You love name calling don’t you Augie, players, manager and posters who have a different opinion.

All should bow to your far superior knowledge on all football matters.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't googled this but as I remember the only transfer that came out of the blue for us was Ozil.

As I remember it came on the last day of the transfer window that AFC had put a bid in for Ozil which was a surprise to me. the rest is history.

Am I right?

:rubchin: Uhhhhhmmm! I think I remember a similar "Bolt out of the blue" kind of thing / signing when we signed (in the January window)
Jose Antonio Reyes from Seville, it was as if he suddenly arrived at the Airport and there was TOF to Greet him... Very few had heard anything about him... and of course he turned out to be a Wonderful signing for us; at least till that CuntDj on Spanish radio did a Hoax call pretending to be from real.madridwhores saying they wanted to sign him. :cussing: :banghead:


Very sad that he died (only 35yrs of age) :cry:

🚨 JUST IN from @RadioMARCA:

Arsenal and Real Sociedad have started talks over a move for Mikel Merino. 🇪🇸

Real Sociedad have REJECTED Arsenal’s first offer which arrived in the last few hours. ❌

Valuations for the 28-year old remain apart. 🎬

The best thing about that transfer was that the spuds were just after selling their best player to Madrid and Madrid sells Özil to us :D

🚨🔴⚪️ More on Mikel Merino deal.

Arsenal and Real Sociedad have been in contact for weeks, formal bid part of the process after long verbal talks over deal structure.

Similar to Calafiori story, clubs negotiating best solution.

Merino wants Arsenal, contract 100% agreed. - @FabrizioRomano

Talking of the scum, Sol Cambell joining us one July morning came very much as a surprise. I remember reading a quote from David Dein when we signed Francis Jeffers a few weeks earlier, along the lines of "This isn't going to be our only transfer of the summer and if we miss out on our next target it will be soul destroying, He knew exactly what he was saying and it still makes me laugh all these years later

That was hilarious alright. One of the reporters at the presser where they introduced him as a new signing wrote that there was an audible intake of breath, a gasp, in the room when they all saw who it was the Arsenal had just signed. :lol:

Fuck you tottnumb. :box: :lol:

Just a shame he turned out to be such an arsehole! :lol:
