Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Still lots of players to sell before Edu can bring in anyone.
Maybe try reading it again.I love how you think I'm the crazy one and you're comparing Odegaard and ESR to Zidane, Iniesta and de Bruyne.
That pitch was a disgrace. No one played well.
This is the biggest concern.
You've already done plenty of business?
I thought that when I was watching the highlights. Can't be great dragging your team over the other side of the world then having to play on pitches like that.
If we manage to shift those 5/6 "unwanted" players, i wouldnt be shocked to see 2 more incomings: RW and another CM. Gakpo/Tielemans are probably near the top for around 60/65M.
It would make it an amazing transfer window but even if we stop here and just sell Leno/Bellerin we should be fine until the WC.
I believe Edu is still looking for a wide attacker on the right and one midfielder, but he has to sell first. Arsenal has a long list of unwanted players.
Think Edu & Arteta have both said they'd like 1 or 2 more. We did bid for Raphinha so we obviously want a wide player.
As @awop says though, we've got about 6 or 7 we need to get rid off. Leno, Bellerin, Mari, Tavares, Torriera, Maitland-Niles and ideally Pepe we need solutions for. Maybe even Nelson as well.
Greatest work of fiction since Dostoevsky.
Do you think I just made those numbers up?
Some of you post strange things.I literally had a full discussion with someone straight after and posted where they came from.
And as I said, anyone here please feel free to look at the United ones and tell me which ones stand out as being vastly incorrect.
I appreciate they don't include everything, but I imagine they ratio up even if the final number is more.
Fair play to them, they look decent and Jesus is already looking like a great signing. I don't fancy our chances of getting anywhere near them this season unless we sign FDJ and Antony. The competition for the top 5 is insanely tough at this point, never mind the top 4.
I think this is gonna be a great season.
If you get FDJ and Anthony, it completely changes the complexion of your team. Chelsea are still on the market. We want to add more as well. I hope we do because we now have decent cover for everyone apart from Partey. Our 4-3-3 is still far too reliant on a player who may be potentially be unavailable due to his patchy fitness record since joining us and... other reasons.
Looks like the Arsenal fans are well and truly locked into the Arteta process now. They really are a fickle bunch of flip flops. I bet they'll be losing their shit again before the World Cup kicks in.
Yes we truly are locked into the Arteta process now. We really are a fickle bunch of flip flops too. I bet you will win your bet and earn a lot of money.
I'm counting on it. I do love me an Arsenal meltdown. Nobody does it better than them.
Keep counting on it. Who doesn't love it ? We are the best at it.
Um, that's literally what I just said. The Martinez 360 was glorious.
It seems like Odegaard will be the captain this season.
Im sure that you are. They say misery loves company and you’re due for more this season. We could start a company and make misery. Frustrated incorporated.
Nah our misery years are over, sorry Mastadon
Also
@Nish115 who thinks we're paying almost 70m more in wages than City! Seriously...Nah our misery years are over, sorry Mastadon
Also
For the 10th time, please feel free to prove me otherwise with more details on your first team wages.
Oh wait. Nobody is taking me up on it because they can't.
City have 1/3 less the players than you do. You pay just as high wages as City. Do the maths.
Some weird posters in here
Nobody challenged you? Do you have memory issues?
I told you in the very first post to check official reported wages from financial report, not some tinpot shit site.
You said which player wages is wrong and I told you why reported wages for players is shit way to come up with total wages as there is a big difference in how wages are reported by media for different clubs.
2 days later you are repeating the same thing.
Nah our misery years are over, sorry Mastadon
Also
People are easily manipulated by shit twitter accounts and papers.
Don't ever put us on a par with your sorry lot. Arsenal are next level shit, probably only equalled by Spurs but they seem to be getting it together for now. Arsenal must have the most fans from any club on the YouTube grift hustling from the misery they've suffered for decades.
Last season for United was an anomaly. That won't be happening any time soon under ten Hag. Like I said it will be 'Arteta Out'....again come the World Cup.
Arsenal biggest spending team this season so far. £121m. Spent £150m last summer.
Top 4 or bust.
Top 4 or bust.
That's Arsenal fans for you.
You got comprehensively schooled on that point by a number of posters, what, 2 pages ago?
surprised you're still going on about that point.I'm not repeating it, i'm saying why I posted it in the first place because someone mocked
I already told you my opinion for financial reports after I looked into it when you mentioned it. The financial report for United is for almost 1000 employees, whereas the first team mens squad is 30 people. I am fully aware that the first team contribute to a large amount of the total, but considering my point was about first team wages and transfer fees, i'd rather not look at a number which is given for 950 other people of which we have 0 clue how it's broken down or where it goes.
And again, you are just completely ignoring the fact where I said multiple times I understand the actual numbers might vary, but I imagine the ratio is similar. It isn't that strange to assume United, who have 10 more first team players than City including the likes of Ronaldo, Sancho, de Gea, Varane, Bruno, Martial, Rashford who are on big wages, have a higher first team wage than City.
You are also ignoring the fact i'm looking more at next seasons potential values which isn't attainable as the reports aren't out yet so for now i'm using the information I have.

I'm not going on about it, people quoted it several times so I replied back, I swear people can't read
Number of posters? It was 1 conversation with 1 person. The rest of them just posted emojies with 0 input to the discussion.And again, i've looked and read the financial reports. That's fine if people want to use them, but they include numbers for a great number more people, of which none of us have a single clue how they're broken down.
You had no idea what you were on about and it was painfully obvious. You just came in this thread, quoted some random numbers that you thought would make Arsenal look good and United look bad then proceed to get put in your place. It was pretty pathetic.I'm not going on about it, people quoted it several times so I replied back, I swear people can't read

But rely on some shit twitter accounts and sites?
How much do you think average job at club is paid? Do you think they make up more than 50% of the wages club spends?
How is it painfully obvious. Some of you need to get a grip. I used the first thing I found for first team wages to get a comparison.
I don't need Arsenal to look good. I know we have reduced our wage budget, that's the whole point of our business recently.
Some of you dig into things for no reason..
I don't know what the directors are paid. I'm fully aware the average joe coach or cleaner isn't paid a lot, i'm not stupid mate.
Do you know how the other 950 people are United are paid and how it's broken down?
You have no clue how that financial report is broken down or where the rest of the money goes, nobody here does. Yet you mock me for using something which roughly indicates first team squad wages.
Again, for the 12th time, I am fully aware the values might not be correct, it was to show more the ratios.
It's a shame because I didn't mind the conversation with you, found it interesting, but your tone has just gone to mocking for no reason.
To be fair, even if you just use the official figures of Total Wage Bill for each club posted in club accounts earlier, you guys are £85M ahead of us for the season before last. I'm not sure adding Ronaldo, Varane & Sancho into the mix will make that any less for last season.
A pre season game on a waterlogged pitch
State on gooner fans.
Pogba, Matic, Mata, Cavani, Lingard all gone.
Wage bill will be massively reduced
In Arsenal financial report, director wages are reported separately.
I don't know where I mocked you, it's a plain text and it sounds exactly like how you read it.
I also explained you with examples why the press reported wages shouldn't be taken as truth but as usual you ignored that and came up with "Which player wages is wrong" as if press knows the details of base wages and bonuses, this is the press who still struggles with gross and net wages.
And also do you think Arsenal, City, Liverpool pay as just much (or close to and even less than) as clubs like Roma, Napoli, lazio, Milan?
