There’s so many factors at play though. When you have the billy big bollocks of City and PSG etc even for Arsenal it becomes ‘what’s the point’ as they can’t compete for the best players, have to overpay for more average players who then kick and scream if they become good enough for a move to the said likes of City and PSG. They’re another team, like us, whose heyday is basically over forever thanks to FFP and state sponsored football clubs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Transfermarkt has it at about £750m spent over the last 6 seasons. With about £270m in outgoings for Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ita not really the transfer fees but the wages that kill you. Arsenal are stuck with players on high wages they csnt sell and any good young player or new signing is going to demand big wages to match them.

Davkaus Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 6 years in a row out of the top 4, quite probably 3 in a row outside the top 6. We really need to overtake this lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t give a damn where Arsenal finish. if they finish 5th and we finish 6th I will be over the moon. if we finish 11th and above them, not so much.

PussEKatt Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well,I hope we finish above them otherwise I will be a bit brassed off..... BUT I cant really see them finishing above us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 It’ll be those 4 at the top come the end of the season I’m pretty certain. The order they finish though I can predict it. Injuries will play a big part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
