So let me get this straight,Spurs just built a stadium worth 1 billion plus yet they still have money to shop around until going after our target?I mean I thought if you built a stadium you don't have money to spend for some time or those were lies beloved were covering up?

You see, we are not a foolish club that doesn't know how to manage it's finances. Daniel Levy is a financial genius. He saw the mistakes your little club made and opted to do something completely different. He saved so much money over the last 2 transfer windows by not buying but instead selling players. He asked his manager to continue to perform magic with the squad with the promise of money to spend after the stadium is built. Do you realize how much revenue this stadium is going to generating? NFL, hospitality, match day gate fees. The revolutionary stadium built and the lucrative deal with NFL means we can play at home on a Saturday and host a NFL match on Sunday with the pitch still looking pristine. With the way the stadium is set up you don't have to go out of stadium to enjoy an after match get together meaning the stadium can earn up to £1 million on each match day. With a 62K+ sitter we can rake in cash over fist each time a game is played. There is even talk of hosting big time fights there like the rematch of Joshua with Ruiz Jr.

Oh boy, we are operating on a different level from now on. We have laid a template for how other teams to follow going forward.

IAG my bro. Welcome back.

I know you love banter, and you are of course an educated man with sense, abeg nor let Spuds make you tok like person wey nor go school.

Quick question, when Arsenal built a stadium, the next highest source of revenue to match day receipts was....? Answer, TV revenue. What was TV revenue then compared to now? Now do a quick comparison, adjust for inflation then you start getting an educated idea of what the real situation is. Arsenal projected the loan repayments and the running of the club on CL revenue and gate receipts. At that time EPL Sky revenue was not the key revenue to leverage the loan repayments. Today, we know TV revenue dwarfs gate receipts and TV revenue alone would have covered Arsenal loan repayments leaving the club in a better shape to compete.

This simple fact exposes the folly of your position. It shows that knowledge of respective financial realities as at the time of Arsenal stadium project and Spuds stadium rebuilding is very important when making such comparisons.

But you are Spuds, the cheapest and most common, in a desperate attempt to elevate yourself up to the company of those who create and set the highest standards, that place whence you do not belong, you know you dare not compare like with like. If you do your reality is still very depressing.

You talk about finances, let's have a look at certain realities. What was the budget for your stadium? It was supposed to cost £600m but so far, it has cost over one billion pounds. Yet, without any irony or shame, you want to give lectures about finances.

Also, another fallacy is when Spuds fans in an attempt to belong comparing, Arsenal's stadium project to their little project of rebuilding their old stadium. Arsenal moved from Highbury to Ashburton Grove, in doing so, they did not just build a stadium, they redeveloped the whole area. They built social housing, two bridges, renovated 3 tube stations and 2 rail stations, Highbury stadium, knocked down and converted to luxury flats etc. You get it. You cannot compare Arsenal grand stadium project to your small stadium rebuild. The building of the stadium on it's own, cost just under £300m, yet the whole Arsenal stadium project cost over £700m. You get it.

If Arsenal were to do it the same time as your stadium, it will cost well over the 1 billion it has cost you to rebuild your stadium at White Hart Lane. Only a club as big as Arsenal could have pulled its massive stadium project off. But Spuds fans like IAG want to compare the cost the of rebuilding their stadium at White Hart Lane to what Arsenal achieved. Once again, when we look at these things properly, it becomes obvious, Spuds are not at our level.

Also, Arsenal pulled this massive project off on time and in budget. Spuds could not even rebuild a stadium on time and in budget, yet you call Levy, one of those responsible for delivering the rebuild of a stadium, £500m over budget a genius. In any other private enterprise, Levy would gave been fired but at Spuds, he is a genius. But this is Spuds, it is how you have rolled all your history. No standards, gutter standards.

If you want me to continue I will but let me remind you of this fact. When we talk about fiscal prudence in football, there is only one club with the gold standard. But we don't rag about it. We brag about silverware and the club as a whole. We are The Arsenal.

Unlike Spuds, at our worst financially, we win silverware. What have Spuds won? It has taken you over 25 years to compete with Arsenal, yet you won nothing. You are supposed to have your best team since the time of Paul Gascoigne, yet you have not won a thing. Your best players are leaving (Walker, Toby, Erricsson, Dembele etc) as you cannot pay their wages, and you can talk about Arsenal.

Opens your eyes. Spuds cannot talk when we talk. At our worst, we are miles better, cos we win silverware. At your best, you lose, and you lose bigley and consistently, just like you Spuds lot mouth off bigley and consistently.

i was just about to post this...several outlets reporting it..some fans already up in arms on Twitter.... ...It'll get waaaay worse before it gets better..lol

It would be an absolute travesty if Arsenal loses this Saliba kid to Spurs. The deal has been allegedly "close" since the window opened...wtf are they waiting for to seal the damn thing??

[Cristao II]

Tottenham are challenging north London rivals Arsenal for Saint-Etienne defender William Saliba.

The Gunners were set to secure a 30m euro (£27m) deal for the 18-year-old that was to see him loaned back to the Ligue 1 club next season.

The deal was in instalments and would not have had a big impact on Arsenal's restricted £45m summer budget.




But Spurs, who signed Tanguy Ndombele for a club record £53.8m this summer, have submitted a late bid.

Saliba, a France Under-20 international, joined Saint-Etienne in 2016 and is one of the game's most highly-rated young centre-backs.

Arsenal remain in the market for a player to come straight into their first-team squad in the same position.

Very unlikely that Spurs are in. Someone wants more money. Spurs need a backup striker and a creative midfielder. Foyth and Sanchez are the young being developed CDs.

But then what do I know. It could be our annual customary - French youth buy.

Arsenal is such joke these days. I am now like the emotionally abused spouse that's too timid to file for divorce. Learned helplessness is what the psychologists call it. When does the season start so the abuse can start again?

[balo]

Crystal Palace's 26-year-old winger Wilfried Zaha, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal, was not included in the pictures of the new Eagles away kit.
So e be like we go land Zaha after ANC ....

So, CP love installment payments for their prized asset?

Toby Alderweid (sp) is 31 and likely sold this summer with one year left on his contract. Vertongen has racked up some mileage. There is good logic for a young CB

We shall see. Carter Vickers, Foyth, Sanchez, Dier are young CDs.

They are willingly colluding to speed the tempo of Arsenal's slide from the elite of football.

I seriously do not understand how West Ham and Leicester can spend more money than Arsenal, despite ALL the years of Wenger making a profit for this club, even when we had the "project youth with Cesc, Denilson, Clichy, Diaby, Sczchesney, etc)?

[Cally]

Any idea where to watch the Arsenal Colorado friendly?

[Waffiman]

What begins?

These people are not representative of the majority of Arsenal fans and never will be. When you seek to divide and cash in on the misfortune of the club, you have no authority and moral standing to now complain of the problem you helped create.

I recall vividly that a lot of those writing and signing this 'letter', like many here on this forum, arrogantly claimed getting rid of Wenger will see us become title contenders because he alone was the problem at Arsenal. Suffice it to say, they were wrong. Now they expect unity inspite of their cretinous behaviour. Fark them all.

Where do I start?

Least we forget, a lot of those who are writing and signing that joke of a letter were involved in wishing cancer on Wenger, if they did not say it, they were complicit by being silent and not condemning friends who did.

Forgive me, but are we now saying the "we've got our Arsenal back" chants last season were wrong?

Some of the xenophobic mofos, who are on record as saying foreign fans didn't count are now asking the same foreign fans to sign petitions.

You cannot make this shyte show up.

You all wanted change, following directly behind the 3rd most successful post war period (3 FA Cups in 4 years) because you lot claimed, "we" wanted better. You got your change. Now tell me, is this the "better" "we" wanted?

It is not, and it will get worse. I hate the way things are, but I will rather go blind than stand with any of those who wrote and signed that letter.

I will never support the Owner but will join in any counter opposition to those who wrote and signed that letter and their supporters.

You lot got your desired change, the least you can do is give the change you sought a chance to succeed or fail. I was steadfast in my belief that the change sought was not needed because it was wrong in terms of timing and wrong in itself. I argued the change sought will not mean things getting better.

We have change, I am man enough to ask that the change be given time. Why can't you lot who wanted wanted this change give it time? You wanted change, you got it. Now stick with it and give it a chance. That is the least you can do.

So it begins....
