Arsenal
3-2

Ramsey, Alexis, Kos

I'd rather keep an honest club then throw money at it. Like both Manchesters and Chelsea do.

Like most people, you've forgotten that Manchester United EARNS it's money. It spends big, because it can afford to from it's ridiculously high revenues.

Citeh and Chelsea run at a loss, Manchester United DOES NOT.

High purchases, and high wages are fine at United cause their earnings are high.
 
Champ trying to use that "I've always been respectful towards you and your family" reverse psychology technique in hopes that Coupe will hand her over to him voluntarily :lol:

That's how I got the finest girl I ever dated , but my friend screwed me over by setting me up with the craziest @#@$@ of all time :smh: :lol:

Champ you're my man but you would be the very last person I'd ever allow to talk to my cousin.

The only one who would have a shot is Eiddy. One if the main reasons is because he lives in South Africa and it'd never work :lol:

:lol:
 
No, it's a fact. Arsenal have the money to spend, but they choose not to. Stadium is done, lucrative kit deals, sponsorships, highest ticket prices in the country. They have the money, they're just being cheap (or would you prefer frugal?). That's a fact, not an opinion.

Just to clear up misinformation real fast as I missed all the fun but the Emirates is faaaar from paid off as it wont be until 2031. Not saying it justifies Wenger not getting in a defender, but just trying to clear that up since Ive seen that statement being thrown around alot in the fall out after deadline day. (i think GN [incorrect] comments on it after the final game vs Newcastle a few years ago stuck with people)
 
DT Exclusive: Arsene Wenger's deadline day text messages

With important transfer business still needing to be done, Arsene Wenger spent deadline day in Rome for the Pope's Match for Peace. The following is a transcript of the text messages exchanged by Wenger and Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis throughout the day.

Wenger: Please keep me informed today, Ivan. Maybe a good deed on this day will bring us good karma. Does the Pope believe in karma? :-/

Gazidis: I don't think so. Not sure.

Wenger: Grrrrr.

Gazidis: Don't worry Arsene, I'm confident things will go our way today. I'll keep you posted.

Wenger: Thx.

****

Gazidis: Danny Welbeck's here with the England squad. His agent offered him to us. Interested?

Wenger: Lololololololololol.

Gazidis: Ok.

Wenger: What's the dealio with Falcao?
Gazidis: Monaco want a £10m loan fee, player wants £346,000 a week. Man Utd, maybe City also interested.

Wenger: For a 28-year-old with one knee? Let United have him. They can tie him and Van Persie together and create one player with two good knees on four times the wages.

Gazidis: Haha ok.

Wenger: :))

****

Wenger: Any other forwards? I'm starting to get the Sanogo sweats...

Gazidis: Welbeck could be best option. Wants a permanent deal, no loan. United closing in on Falcao.

Wenger: Uggggghhhhhh. Roberto Baggio is here. Maybe I should ask him to come out of retirement.

Gazidis: Haha.

Wenger: Baggio said no. Damn.

Wenger: Shevchenko overheard my offer, but I avoided his attempts to make eye contact.

****

Gazidis: So...Welbeck?

Wenger: Uggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. There's a little kid sitting behind me. I'll ask him if he wants to play for us.

Gazidis: I'll have Welbeck do a medical just in case.

Wenger: Kid doesn't speak English. Had no idea what I was saying.

Wenger: Ok on Welbeck medical. Just deny it if anyone asks. ;-)

Gazidis: Will do.

Wenger: ;-)

****

Gazidis: Running out of time...

Wenger: Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Gazidis: Go on Welbeck? Also, I just remembered that you said you wanted a center back a couple weeks ago.

Wenger: Fine. Yes. Welbeck could work maybe. He's young. He's been playing out of position. Maybe United didn't F him up too much. Ok, let's do this. This could work. Whatever.

Wenger: Just don't pay more than what Liverpool paid for Balotelli. That comparison could make this deal look better for us when Mario decides he wants to be a chef in Tibet next year.

Wenger: As for CB...William Gallas still unattached?

Gazidis: Are you being serious? Sarcasm sometimes gets lost in text messages.

Wenger: Yes. Serious. :-/

****

Gazidis: Welbeck done. Have a statement for the press release?

Wenger: No thanks.

Gazidis: Ok. Here's the release.

Wenger: Lost the charity match...thanks for asking.

Gazidis: Sorry.

Wenger: Never relying on Pope karma again.

They ain't making enough to spend 200M+ like that though
 
They just signed a kit sponsorship contract with Adidas for a billi. Add shirt sales worldwide in their millions, plus whatever Chevrolet are paying them. Ticket sales. Welbeck went for £17m. It all adds up, I think they're more than in a position to spend £200m

Do I agree with who they've spent it on? No.

But they've got the money. It's Manchester United.
 
You guys are forgetting about how much debt United is in since the Glazers took over. All those new deals they signed, most went to the Glazers and a few to pay the debt

They have about a $400M debt bro
 
Debt means little to over zealous footy fans, cmon bruh...
As a fan I'm not complaining. Just saying it's pretty outrageous that they spend, and are allowed to spend that much money when they have a huge debt. Same thing for other clubs by the way.

Finally!

@ManUtdStuff: Marcos Rojo has finally obtained his work permit and will be available for selection in the game against QPR. [fox sports]
 
Probably more :lol:

I know they have lots of debt, but it's not gonna stop them spending.

Yea its like 400m pounds lol. Being that much in debt actually limits how much they can spend. A reason why Falco was loaned n not bought out. United couldn't afford to buy him under FFP
