where the hell have they managed to pull £90m from? thats the same sort of spending city have managed this season. they will have broken their record transfer fee 3 times in this window if this deal goes through. hard to believe. bale must certainly be on his way out.
big shame that we're falling so far behind tottenham. i can't get my head around it By selling Bale & Modric, and that TV money I would have thought.

I cannot fathom how three desired players have gone to Tottenham over Liverpool. What is our missing quality? Is it finance? The clubs stature? Policy? As far as I'm concerned Liverpool make a lot more revenue than Tottenham, so I don't see how they've left us for mud AGAIN.
I see the obvious counter argument 'we won't be wasteful with money' but it's evident that Tottenham are not being wasteful as they've been finishing ahead of us by some margin for a quite a while now.
Sure, we're being tough and not overspending for players, but being stubborn is exactly what Arsenal have done and look at their demise. What's the point of saving money if you don't spend it.
Also, I never even cared that much about getting Willian but the fact that Tottenham can walk right in and scoop him up is terrifying. arsenals policy (however flawed) has them in the champos league, year in year out. spurs aren't. sure it looks like they will steal a march on them in london. i don't particulary feel that we are in the shadow of spurs at all in that they beat us to the signature of dempsey (now in semi-retirement), sigurdsson (who's not been all that exciting) and the third one i'm sure you're referring to is, the not yet actually signed, willian, who i'm not altogether convinced is worth over 20m nevermind 32m. is it this that makes you feel in the shadow of spurs?

I thought Arsenal were the team that was going to break their transfer record three times this summer not spurs

i don't quite get the point of putting random sentences in bold. are you pointing out that a journalist from the telegraph has a different opinion?
also, we were interested in eric lamela? i don't recall a single quote from the club in relation to being interested in him.

Wasn't it the press who thought Rafa was a sh!t manager and Woy would come in and sort things out... they are significantly less knowledgeable than the average Youtube scout, because they just jump on bandwagons instead of actually believing what's going on in front of their very eyes.
