Wow! - there's a whole million between our sums. Now lets look at the players we've got compared to yours.
Hi Bergie, That simply suggests you don't have a Dutch Master's degree in statistics. Go back to the table and read it properly!
Being pedantic it's closer to 2 million per season A net profit of 921K a season for us, adding up to a 18.4 million profit since 1992. against a net loss of 1.06 million a season adding up to a net loss of 21.2 million. A difference of nearly 40 million Despite this, I don't dispute that Wenger in particular has been great in the transfer market and that Arsenal are a great team. Would much rather you got 4th than Chelsea or Liverpool.
Do you not learn maths in N London? Are you telling us that the difference between -£18.4m and +£21.2m is only £1 million?! If only we had you sorting out the debt crisis!
ooops-- you are right. yes its £2m PER SEASON. I must pay more attention. It's a long time since I took 3 maths 'O' levels., Now comparing what the teams have done.- us never out of top 4 in 15 years with Wenger. err.... every year in CL. Looking at current squad we're worth £zillions. Anybody care to tell me what you've achieved - but spent £2m a year less?
.......just why did you take 3 maths o levels, was it a bargain,take one and get two free?.with a net much lower starting transfer fund you expect us to outspend you? we, much like yourselves, are trying to live within our budget which you will realise is much less than yours.
Golden : - inbreds like you get exams these days in packets of cornflakes..... It was Pure Maths (I was 15) then Applied Maths (16), and thirdly Additional (16) (some of the 'A' level syllabus). well you did ask.
Net spend has nothing to do with quality of players afforded. If in January Man City buy Messi and Ronaldo for £75k apiece, and sell other players for a total of £150k, their net spend on the deal is £0. Meanwhile another struggling club in the lower leagues gets two players on free transfers and off loads others on frees as well. Net spend on the deal is likewise £0. Both have balanced the books, but that's the only similarity. The recent history of Man City and Chelski tells you that what has mattered in recent years is not balancing the books but having an almost unlimited pot of money into which to delve when a top class player becomes available. Arsenal, IMO, have done a brilliant job in maintaining their top four status without the articifial benefit of absurdly rich owners (though David Dein was in favour of going down that route with Usimov's billions). Good for the Gunners, they have principles and I admire them for sticking to them. Meanwhile, good on Delia and her fellow board members for rescuing Norwich from the brink of administration and rebuilding a successful club based on sound finances and affordability. Both clubs should be applauded for what they have done and how they have done it.
Wow! - A Champions League team has got better players than a team that plyed its trade in League One only 2 years ago. Glad we could compare. Now lets calm the f**** down.
Sure acted affronted when you entered a conversation you had no reason to enter (surprise surprise, it turned into an argument).
Why not cool it? Bergkamp is the next best visitor on the Norwich page after JWM.That should be encouraged. Against that,judging by his byline trailer,he is a Tory.
