They are better than us with all of our full backs and Wilshere out, but once we have our players back and they have injuries we will be better than them as usual
I was unnecessarily generous in my posting above. Ok I'll take it back. What forward do you have apart from Adebarndoor that actually scores regularly? From what I reckon most of your goals come from midfield Just so you know, Arsenal are second behind Man C with the most different goals scorers in the league.
VDV, Bale, Defoe and Lennon will be catching up soon. All I meant was the RVP's your only forward that's better than ours, hence plural "forwards" being a mistake.
Defoe, Bale and van der Vaart all have 7 league goals this season. Arsenal's second highest scorer is Gervinho, with 4.
Henry. Ring any bells? We still have the likes of Sagna, Vermaelen, Wilshere and Santos to come back and bolster midfield and defence. And whoever else we decide to sign this window.
2007 . And still better than any other striker at Sp*rs even at age 34. And we have one of the best strikers in world football at the moment in RVP. Sp*rs have Adebarndoor. 'Nuff said.
There is no subsidy. We are paying him what he is worth, City are honouring his contract. If they sold him to us for less than they paid there would be no subsidy - its exactly the same with a loan. A subsidy would only occur if they had turned down a higher offer.
I think Spurs have finally caught up with us quality wise..... Only a lunatic will disagree they will not finish above us this season..... So what when they finish above this season? We failed to beat them last season in the league and I think the season before last? If they if have any ambition, they should be gunning for the title (because that's what we would be doing if we were 3 points off the top), rather than getting into irrelevant arguments with a has been like us..... debating who would finish where.... (we are battling Pool, Chelsea for 4th). Our team has been asset stripping for the past 6 years and replacing the quality players we have sold with dross! In that space of time Spurs have only lost 1 decent player against their wishes (Berbatov), and even then, they made a tidy profit (at least 3ce what they paid for him)...... In that time we have generated at least 100mill from player sales!
