A One And A Six Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I could see Ronaldinho going to Spurs or Newcastle. I dont think Utd, Arsenal or Chelsea would want him in fear of upsetting the apple cart? Besides we dont know a player of Ronaldinho's style would fit in, in the Premiership. They stand off you a lot more in la liga, id like to see him try jinking his way through the likes of Bolton, Blackburn or other physcally stronger teams!!! Class act but no Ronaldo!!!

Coopsie Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Arsenal's debt was £262.1m after moving to Emirates not £500m Yes but they then refinanced the debts they already had so as they could pay them off over a longer period of time. The overall debt is around the £500million mark BUT with record figures every month since moving into the immigrants stadium, I'm sure that they are not too concerned about the clubs future at the moment. However, if they continue to not win silverware, titles etc, will the club, supporters and most importantly the players, continue to pledge loyalties to Arsenal?. We all know that MOST players ultimately want to win things. I know that there's the lure of Champions League football but if the club continues to be unsuccessful in each competition they enter, will they be able to attract players before the likes of Man Utd?. As good as the football is that Arsenal play, if I was a professional player I would certainly choose Man Utd over Arsenal, purely because I would feel more likely to achieve success and trophies etc an Utd.

You must remember Arsenal have had long spells of time without major honours before. Im sure Arsenals young team will soon start picking up trophys and with the new increased capacity stadium and Emirates sponsorship deal, it wont be long before Wenger has plenty of money to spend.

Peck1961 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 As opposed to resorting to blatant abuse, I will attempt to deal with the points you so eloquently raised!! sorry mate but you read way to much "NEWS OF THE WORLD", there is never in a million years that Sir Wenger would have let any of his £25+mil kitty go to waste on Woodgate-your talkin out ya arse on that m8e!!! To say that Wenger would not want to waste cash on Woodgate is a little bit of false bravado, surely?! When fit, Woodgate would grace any club in this country and is one of the best 4 centre halves that England have. It is only his poor injury record which deterred any of the top 4 making a bid for him, however since he joined Middlesboro' from Real Madrid his 46 games in a season and half is not too shabby. Also your '£25m+ kitty' line is very British tabloid, so maybe the News of the World has two readers! Debt??--we had one of the biggest profit turnovers!! and i think it was released in November they were the richest club in the country(@ the time) As someone who works in accounts, they're are many ways to present figures in accounts to suit a situation. Depending on whether media outlets want to portray a negative or positive slant on something then certain figures will be rolled out. How you define rich is open to debate, but when released in November Arsenal FC showed the largest annual turnover figures seen by a Football club in this country (this has been since surpassed by Man Utd & Chelsea), but while you correctly pointed out how the year had seen a large increase in operating profit, this figure was in fact before interest charges, and in fact the actual profit figure before taxation had decreased from £15.8m in 2006 to £5.6m in 2007. All this while the Bank loans outstanding on the balance sheet have increased from £272.6m in 2006 to £314.6m in 2007. Not quite the rosy little picture that the media paint! While Arsenal continue to be 'successful' and qualify for the significant financial rewards of the Champions League they are able to show the bank that they can sufficiently finance their debts, however it will only take one season of the UEFA cup, or worse, and finances will become very tight at the Emirates. £500mil debt for stadium??--just over £300mil of that was paid by Fly Emirates-hence the name Emirates Stadium!!-u monkey!!! The stadium total cost was £430m, which was financed by a £260m loan from Royal Bank of Scotland (later restructured with the issue of two separate bonds (£210.5 over 13.5 years & £50m over 7.1 years), a £100m sponsorship deal with Fly Emirates (which includes rights to the stadium name for the first 15 years of it's use), the remaining £70m would come from the sale of the Library and future sales of the apartments and housing being put on the Library site. It appears that there are monkey's a plenty on this site, as I see no mention of a £300m cash injection from Fly Emirates! Stick to ur carling mug my friend-we have bigger fish to fry!!!! Whilst there has been much derision of the Carling/League Cup, the cause for optimism from us Spurs fans is that not only did the team beat, come from a 1-0 deficit and outplay a full strength Chelsea side that clearly wanted to win the trophy, but it is also that since Juande Ramos took over, the fans have seen the teams push an Arsenal '1st team' on their own ground to the point where, if Keano had slotted home a penalty we would've have probably come away with a win. We also completely outplayed the Arsenal '2nd team' in a semi, where the year before we had bottled it. Then we outplay Man Utd and was denied a win by a goal in the 4th min of 3 mins added time! So the big thing that has been levelled at the club for the last 10 years of the premier league is that we can't compete with the 'Big 4', but it appears that under Juande this maybe changing and we hope that next year we can challenge for a top 4 place and end the little cartel of the past few seasons, which can only be a good thing for English football (which is why I hope Everton or Villa get 4th spot this season, and I have no issues with Liverpool), as the more stronger clubs you have, the more competitive it becomes and would surely produce better players for our waning national team.

Team that would normally start a prem game if all were fit as follows: Almunia, clichy,toure, gallas, sagna, hleb, fabregas, flamini, rosicky, robin van persie, adebayor so as you can see, that does not make 7 first teamers as you claim.(cesc,eduardo and adebayor came on as subs,the latter two had only 15 minutes) the reason why the likes of diaby, walcott, bendtner are starting recently is simply due to having a big amount of players on the ever growing injury list as for frying bigger fish are you being plain stupid?? (sitting top of the prem table with a good chance of winning it-or be sitting emabrasingly in 11th place???) ever heard of the champions league?? didnt think so, ever got to the final?? didnt think so--and before man utd and the liverpool boys add "ever won it?" i know but you can only try by resting key players in the likes of the carling mug which tottenham are extremely lucky they won because if they didnt-they wouldnt be in any european competitions next season!!!! you havnt come anywhere near winning the premiership since it started and you havnt won the league since the 1960-61 and that is only the second time you have tasted winning the league with your first coming 10 years earlier!!!! what a laughable honours list i must say!!!! you havnt won a major trophy (league,fa,european) since 1991!!!!! shocking!!!! (having only won the fa cup 8 times!!) arsenal on the other hand last major trophy--F.A cup 2005 beat Utd (who outplayed us the whole match 5-4 pens) last won the league 2004 have won the league 13 times compared to measly two!!!!!! have won the fa cup 10 times done the double (league and fa cup) 3 times (most recent being 2002) compared to your once!! so not really a contest im afraid!!--we are kings of North London/London altogether!!! as for the stadium figures that accountant gave--im afraid i'l hold my hands--u got me on that one,thnx for lettin me know tho!!!!!

A One And A Six Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 My point was that although they've not achieved anywhere near as much as Arsenal, they have won major honours (theres a lot of teams in this country that haven't) ! Their two league championships may not look much compared to Utd, Liverpool or Arsenal but winning the League is no mean feat and to win it twice is an impressive achievement. Spurs have got a decent (certainly not laughable) history, probably the best of the non-top 4 English clubs (and argueably better then Chelseas) but at the moment they haven't got a hope of breaking into the Champions League spots ahead of Arsenal, despite what some fans seem to believe!!! Oh my god, just realised ive been defending the Spuds! Im off before i say something really stupid that i know il regret.....like Darren Bent, £18 Million well spent!!! :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopsie Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 How blind are those Gooner supporters who are slating Spurs for winning the Carling Cup?. You're all right in the sense that it is probably the least important of the domestic competitions, but it is still a competition that your club and more importantly the players that represent your club wanted to win. That's why they were all falling out and resorting to the girly handbag fighting during the hammering that they were taking. Like it or not, Wenger and Arsenal wanted to win that trophy, as did Grant and Chelsea. Unfortunately neither of them got to win it and Spurs did and ultimately qualified for the UEFA Cup again next season. That is a competition that 16 of the 20 Premiership clubs would gladly aim to qualify for at the beginning of any season. It is a cup that any Liverpool supporter will vouch for in respects of importance because it was part of a treble winning season for them not so long ago. Smithy, well done on making a Champions League final, you must be very proud. That made you the first placed loser out of every team that entered and guess what??. You've still only won it as many times as poor old pathetic Spurs have. NONE. You're right, 17 years since winning the FA Cup in 1991 is a long time. Please remind me, Who did we beat in the Semi final before going on to win the trophy?. Now you've pointed out how long it's been since Spurs won anything "major", why don't you enlighten us about Arsenals consistency at "major" trophy winning before Wenger actually brought in consistency?.

A One And A Six Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Lets end this Spurs-Arsenal debate now shall we. As a Gooner id like to (reluctantly-lol) congratulate Spurs on their Carling Cup victory. Of course we wanted to win it and we were gutted after the 5-1, thats obvious. But, in reply to some Spurs fans comments, Arsenal are far from finished, a recent blip and a few bad results doesent change the fact we're having a very very good season, were currently in the quarter finals of the Champions League and joint top of the best League in the world and playing at times breath-taking football. Theres nothing wrong with Spurs-Arsenal banter but this is getting boring and its got nothing to do with the original topic. RONALDINHO AND ETO'O ON WAY OUT OF BARCELONA My personal opinion - Ronaldinho - Newcastle or AC Milan Eto'o - Chelsea or will stay at Barca :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 A One And A Six, we're not joint top we are top and i was one of the first to say well done to Spurs for beating Chelsea, and i watched the game and enjoyed it too. It is getting boring having everyone saying that Arsenal are finished, we've lost one league game all season, how's that 'finished'? We've had a few players injured this season, but still we're fighting on, ok so we may only be 1 point clear at the top but still we are top. Even if we come 2nd or 3rd we've done alot better then anyone gave us credit for at the begining of the season after Henry left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopsie Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 A One And A Six, Anita. Atleast I can HONESTLY say that I have not been one of those Spurs supporters that have described Arsenal as "finished"etc. Even last season when those Spurs supporters who were how shall I put it "Slightly dilusional", saying that we will beat Arsenal to the 4th place finish this season, I was openly admitting that we would not be finishing above Arsenal, they would not drop out of the top 4 and if anybody was going to finish outside the top 4, it would be Liverpool. I wasn't far wrong was I?. I agree, all the Spurs V Arsenal stuff is bloody boring now. WHY would Ronaldinho want to play in the championship?. That's where "King Kev's Revolution" is taking Newcastle. Can't see Eto'o going anywhere BUT if Drogba is as unhappy as we are being led to believe, perhaps a swap deal between him and Eto'o could be on the cards?.

Guest Ronin Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 There's talk on the news today of a Ronaldo move to Barca - Ron out/Ron in??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopsie Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 There's talk on the news today of a Ronaldo move to Barca - Ron out/Ron in??? Personally Ronin, I think that would be the shock of the century and there's NO WAY that it is going to happen. Ronaldo already performs at a better and more consitstent level than Ronaldinho, he is several years younger and will only get better as time goes by. Ronaldinho is probably already at his peak(if not past it if we are to believe reports) and I even doubt whether he'd be able to perform in the Premiership anyway?.
