I guess we'll continue to disagree, I would've taken Kane and Son over our entire attack and midfield if it was only last seasons race for top 4 that mattered tbh. I feel like we were in a bit of turmoil as well with the amount of outgogins/incomings, Sp**s at least knew their best squad ie. Kane, Son, Loris and 8 other players.
Because hiring Nuno made no sense for their squad. It wasn't the talent disparity between the squads.
Everyone tipped us to finish above them. What are you going on about? I predicted 5th for us and 6th for Sp**s.
Bring the receipts
Go and find the prediction thread from last year.
The onus of proof is on you who made the claim.
Nobody has made the claim that Sp**s were special. The claim was that Sp**s had a better squad than us unless you're claiming we're special which to be fair AM is pretty special.
I think this is aimed at me? City willing to pay 100 million odd for Kane and Sp**s turning it down would suggest both teams would value Kane a little but more than you would have. Lloris is definitely a top level goalie even if hes nowhere near the likes of a monster like Allison... but who is, Lloris probably makes a couple of mistakes a season which is about where most top class goalies are. And you didnt even talk about Son.
100%. This is it, this season is everything. No excuses. Deliver or die. It’s why I’ve not watched AorN - I don’t want it to cloud my judgement of what I see on the pitch this season. I’ll watch it on St Totteringhams day…
Wasn't aimed at you. Didn't say anything about Kane and Son as players per se but their form last season, we should've been and really were out of sight for a minute until we fumbled it and let them ahead of us for no good reason.
Ah fair enough, I had just said I wouldve taken Kane and Son over our midfield and attack if the only aim was last years top 4. I think the context matters a lot, we see a hard working team now under Arteta but I dont think that 100% effort & commitment was there at the start of the season hence the 'departures'. We dont look to have any passengers now and Id rate our current squad well ahead of last seasons Sp**s squad, will this seasons Sp**s squad be at the same level or much better I have no idea.
They don't have a better squad than us. Us losing Aubameyang and them signing two decent players in January made it closer but their defence is garbage and their midfield even worse.Nobody has made the claim that Sp**s were special. The claim was that Sp**s had a better squad than us unless you're claiming we're special which to be fair AM is pretty special.
Whose fault is that? We had a manager who nailed them every single year, until you and a whole bunch of our fans said it wasn’t good enough, so decided to take him down.
Oh my... This has started AGAIN?Someone please make @Makingtrax a Wenger vs Arteta thread so he can vent in there for thousands of pages and the rest of us don't have to read the exact same repetitive stuff for the billionth time
Not sure if you're taking the piss. But the narrative you and certain man tried to push on this forum was that Auba was a disruptive character and was poisonous to the dressing room but now his former manager who is one of the best in the world and who has actually tried to sign him has actually hailed his personality.
He repeatedly said he was **** before he come here and you said he was **** when he signed
As an all round player yeah, as a goal scorer his record is just below only guys like Messi and Ronaldo in the last 10 years.He repeatedly said he was **** before he come here and you said he was **** when he signed
