WallisFrizz Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Arsenal fans on Twitter now somehow convinced they’re signing Douglas Luiz after we’ve signed this dude. Firstly, they’re wrong because we’ve been playing Dougie out of position. Secondly, I like that they’re eyeing up our squad players. How times have changed. Hope Dougie stays.

WHY Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 10 hours ago, Aston_Villan4 said: Ehh I wouldn't be too worried about that yet. Only reason they have Wood is because they were the only one willing to pay his 25million release clause and Trippier went there because of Howe. Similar to Coutinho and Gerrard. Except we will be fighting for a European spot next year whilst they will be waffling around the relegation zone. Money will attract some players but they're still a terrible team at the bottom of the table. Wood made sense, can hit the ground running and knows the league. £25m is peanuts for them, they will bin him off at the end of the season. They will make some big signings in the summer, money talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when their fans they were convinced Grealish was heading to them this summer? Which club has the most delusional fanbase now? Arsenal, Newcastle, or Leeds?

They’re not allowed to sponsor themselves though. After Man City got their owners airline to pay £300,000,000 to sponsor them, it was so outrageous, that loophole was closed.

Newcastle's will be too soon. Man City were taken over in 2008 and the FFP rules weren't implemented until 2012. They had a massive advantage in growing their turnover back then as they were able to attract massive sponsors (cough), big name players and managers very very quickly without the worry of sanctions or action being taken. Those circumstances just don't exist now. Newcastle will take a lot longer to grow their revenue than City.

Hell, we are, are we not sponsored by a pretend Chinese betting company? I agree they'll find it harder, but I wouldn't be surprised if they push the rules to the limit.

Lord Willard Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Not too fussed about this. Not sure what the stats were meant to prove but all I can see is that McGinn is still better and people want him dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted January 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2022 I know I'm a prime member of "the sign Bissouma club", But I really hope that we can get the Bentancur signing done. I can see the benefits that our first team will have with Rodrigo in the number six position, I can see the sense in his price compared with YB, and I think I can see what it says about the way SG wants his team to play in the next couple of seasons. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
