Pfft so you keep moving the goalposts whenever your previous example is refuted. So whenever it suits you it's net spend, and whenever it doesn't it's just regular spending.
The squad investment is just an accumulation of spending over the number of years it takes to build the squad. There’s no moving of goal posts. It’s a better way of looking at the figures really. Some are with a squad for a long time, like Hazard at Chelsea. He was on their net spend figure in 2012, but still appeared as part of their squad investment figure in 2018. And why not, he was still playing.
Right, I agree with this line of thinking, and when we look at post-invincibles Wenger era, we have to factor in the fact that Arsenal was clearly a top 2 side with a top 2 squad. That status gradually declined and it's weird to suggest that Arsène had nothing to with it.
"It was an unforgettable night, she loves Arsenal now"My word, Arsène still has his pull.
@OnlyOne ban this traitor.
How we’re we a top 2 side?
You’ve just made that up. You can’t debate with people that make stuff up, it’s like arguing with Trump supporters and their fake news. Here’s some actual facts. Look at our spending between 2004 and 2013 . . . Portsmouth level! We competed because of our manager’s incredible buying and selling and competing with teams he had no right to be. Top 4 every year over that period was absolutely remarkable. You saying it was decline is complete ****. You’ve no evidence at all. Just your own prejudice.
That’s what you can do at 70 if you get up at 5.30 am, run 10K, work at the weights and eat a mountain of salads with steaks and fish.
I think this is when Fergie realised Wenger was a massive threat to him, look at how rattled he is.
Arsène died on a spit roast so we could become mid table, out of the cup and play like Acrington Stanley.
