It's like people are refusing to belief that chance is a factor here. Chance of what? Your club is impotent in the transfer market, hasn't made a serious push in Europe in 5 years, and hasn't won a trophy in a decade.

Ravel posted:Dalglish's Liverpool have a lot more in common with Arsenal than those three who from 2006 have had much better squads than Arsenal. Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005, it's a bit of a stretch to throw them in with Brum, Pompey, and Wigan.

Ravel posted:Dalglish's squad didn't. If City won the cup in 2005 you could list them too. I think the crux of luvd's argument was "big club spending" and Liverpool were still spending big, it was just on utter dross. Either way, I'm not going to drag this along any further, it's all a bit silly.

Ravel posted:That Arsenal aren't really competing financially by buying ONE player over both windows, even if that player is 40+m They would have(should have) bought Higuain for about 35m but Wenger is a big dumb idiot. Arsenal need to compete financially if they want to win poo poo, that's what I think is so frustrating for Arsenal fans. Spunking 20m on some good but not world class dude and buying three African boys from Ligue 2 isn't going to win you trophies.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:I really think Arsenal's failure to keep their top players was much more damaging than their lack of spending in the transfer market. I think all of the clubs around them were better able to hold onto their important players for longer. Not to be pedantic and bring up this argument again but winning trophies helps you keep your better players.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:Yeah but Everton were able to hold onto Distin, Fellaini, Cahill, Baines, Jagielka and Howard for longer and under more financial pressure. Villa were able to hold onto Milner for 2 quality seasons, and Young and Barry for a long time despite them getting linked to a host of clubs. Spurs kept Bale for 3 good seasons. Liverpool kept Gerrard, Carragher and Reina despite some awful ownership and some dark times. Even Newcastle got 2 and a half good seasons out of Cabaye. I understand what you're trying to say but Distin, Cahill, Jagielka, Howard, Young(yes), Barry, Carragher, and maybe even Cabaye aren't top four side players. Clubs like Manchester United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and at this point probably Liverpool don't have "financial pressure" to sell players within the Premier League, much less to title rivals. Arsenal selling RVP to United was absolute loving madness, especially when they could have shunted him off to Juventus for similar money. A player like Bale is an exception to the rule, much like when United sold Ronaldo. It's ridiculous to turn down that kind of money for a player regardless of the financial state of a club. Edit: Before all the Liverpool supporters get all tits up, Carragher was very very good at what he did for a long time but he's not the kind of player other clubs are champing at the bit to bring in. According to Fergie Manchester United never received a transfer bid for Paul Scholes either so take that as you will. Shrapnig fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Apr 10, 2014 |
