foxfanazer Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 I feel like people are going way too far with their praise of Arsenal. I've seen people talking about them like it was some kind of David and Goliath battle with Man City last season. I may be wrong but I wouldn't imagine the spending between the clubs as been that different over the last few years. Also their fans are delusional bells! Give me a Man City invincible season to really kick them where it hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not playing more minutes, you're playing the minutes you are supposed to play. Self-irony being that an extra ten minutes is a problem but UEFA/FIFA's extra games aren't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a Man City invincible season to really kick them where it hurts I've found the Arteta love in a bit cringe. Two successive 8th place finishes with enormous amount of spending has been overlookedn due to last season's efforts. I don't want to knock last season as they were superb for large parts of it. They need to prove this year that was genuine of the squad and manager and not just a purple patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 Arsenal have spent a fortune over the last few years. When did they last sell someone for a big fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Iwobi to Everton You're right. They've spent shit loads for little return (even in cups). Net spend of approx £580m in the last 5 seasons (2nd to Man Utd's £620m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their match day income is massive and they have a relatively low wage bill for a club their size. Something like half of most of the top sixes. They have always had a vary rigorous wage structure. I think this goes someway to explaining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 (edited) 17 minutes ago, StanSP said: I saw a theory that Kane doesn't really want to go Bayern. As soon as Spurs accept a bid, then Man Utd or someone else will come in with a better bid (or similar). Putting Levy in an awkward situation; it's why this has been dragged out. Be interesting to see if it was correct. Edited 10 August 2023 by Guesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 (edited) reports now that a Bayern deal has been agreed with Spurs, so it's up to Kane now. If wants to become that successful player and be an even bigger asset for England he should go. Edited 10 August 2023 by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 What a ****ed up waste of a career if he stays. Someone like him ending without a winners medal would be a crime. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 He should be all over that move unless a bigger PL club come in for him. Move to Germany, play for one of the biggest clubs in the World, win a league title and have a good at the Champions League. Hopefully then the stupid ".. yeah but he's never won anything" will stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilo Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 He needs to go or he'll regret it. Spurs are miles off challenging for titles domestically, and even qualifying for the Champions League looks a big ask with Man City and Newcastle having essentially unlimited budgets, Liverpool likely to improve and Man United enjoying something of a resurgence under Ten Hag. A player of Kane's ability would do very well in the Bundesliga, and at the dominant club where silverware and regular Champions League football is basically guaranteed.

Arguably an even bigger waste than Shearer, who at least ended his career with a PL winners' medal and can say he chose his boyhood club over Manchester United when they were winning everything in sight. As an aside though, imagine that mid to late 90s Manchester United side with Alan Shearer up front alongside Andy Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 10 August 2023 Author Share Posted 10 August 2023 He's got to go. Always found the argument for breaking Shearers record a bit irrelevant seeing as no-one will care once any record Kane sets is broken in the future. Whereas you cant take medals away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyn Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 If Real Madrid were interested in him on a free next summer I'd hold fire. Else it probably makes sense to go to Bayern now given the striker situation at Man City and possibly Man Utd is now closed, and any other PL move might not be significant enough.

Lewandowski and Kane aren't a million miles away in terms of their stature and play style. Bobby Lew was scoring pretty much a goal a game for Bayern.
