Arsenal still buy big when they have to we don't. Ozil has been a flop but that's not the point the fact is they are in the game

But he's still a flop right? They have spent better than us in most cases but it still shows that just throwing money around isn't always a guarantee. For me he's been no better than Coutinho and he cost us £11m was it?

Yes osil s a flop yes spending big does not guarantee success see andy Carroll for details

But the fact is to be successful you need the best player on average and over time the best players are more expensive to buy. That's reality

If buying cheap players is the way forward then Liverpool are going to be very succesful over the next few years looking forward to that

Really surprised at how bad Ozil has been tbh,didn't really see that one coming.

There's a certain amount of fallacy to this. It is true Arsenal under Wenger are well known for buying and developing talent and not competing with transfer fees (apart from recent seasons) for some of the bigger European talents, but in fact the players they look to develop are actually well known and sought after entities, whom they lure by offering very large wages. Our wage structure (despite paying a lot out) actually doesn't compete with theirs when they want to lure some of these 'prospects'.

Yep, they spent good money on Ox, Walcott and Ramsey and all have been a success to some extent. For me, it's a balance between the two and we don't seem to have that balance yet. Maybe, just maybe now we have the numbers that the squad needed, they may splash out on a couple of major signings? I won't be holding my breath though!

I think if by some miracle we qualified for the champions league then those major signings have to happen if it's another batch of bargain basement then we need to rebel

Remember we are under investigation with UEFA over FFP failures. Therefore I have no idea where this imaginary money to buy and pay these players should come from if we are not generating the required income.
This is not new news and until we generate the money to pay these players then we can never be in the game. Therefore a longer and yes cheaper route has to be taken, more Dortmund and less chelsea

It'll come from the new stadium

CP1972 lets hope Anfield then is 80k fan centric and ticket prices comsensuate. If we are to be like Dortmund I cant wait
