The OP,how long's his ban for?


His ban is permanent. He also got a knock on the door from the Starm troopers. He's been a very naughty boy.

What is the net spend since Arteta took over?
Arsenal transfers: Premier League net spend table since ...
They've also sold a number of players over the last five and a half years, having recouped €235.34million via player sales. In total, that gives Arsenal a net spend of -€632.28million since Arteta took the reins, which is the third highest in the Premier League.8 Jul 2025

Yes my source was AI generated from google. It also claims to be net spend but has not been defined.

You're being disingenuous. Spurs' wage bill is vastly lower that other traditional top six teams.

If you again go back to the Deloitte (Money League) report; if you ranked all the Premier League teams by wage spending, Tottenham, who used to be very close to Arsenal, are now more than £100million a year behind Arsenal. Aston Villa are ahead of Spurs and I wouldn’t be surprised if next time Newcastle United are ahead of Spurs as well. All of a sudden, the idea of a ‘Big Six’ wage spending bill doesn’t really exist. It’s kind of a ‘Big Five’… and then you’ve got Tottenham, Villa and Newcastle. And I don’t think next year Spurs would necessarily be top of that group of three, so clearly it’s a big gap that has to be made up if you want to be competitive.

Tottenham Hotspur's wage bill is the lowest among the wealthiest clubs in Europe, with a wage-to-turnover ratio of 42 per cent, according to Swiss Ramble, a major authority on football finance.
This ratio is the lowest in the list of Money League clubs, with AC Milan and Real Madrid following closely at 47 per cent and 48 per cent respectively.
This financial approach has resulted in Tottenham having the lowest squad cost in the Premier League, with just two-thirds of their revenue spent on wages and amortisation.
In the 2024/25 season, Tottenham's wage bill was estimated at £110.7 million, placing them seventh in the Premier League, significantly behind clubs like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
For the upcoming 2025-2026 season, the estimated wage bill is £99.9 million.
This low wage bill is attributed to a strict wage structure, a focus on financial sustainability under chairman Daniel Levy, and the replacement of high-earning players with younger, less expensive talent.
While this strategy has kept the club financially stable, it has led to fan frustration and concerns that the club is falling behind its rivals in terms of on-pitch ambition and competitiveness.

If Eze is added to play on the left then more or less
Arteta has fixed the problems, or weaknesses, or areas that might be strengthened, that
were pointed out at end of 23/24 season.

A season, last season to recover from exertions

So a good chance to compete this season.



Finishing second to man city was a decent effort,
probably better effort than they were given credit for.

Might be unlucky to find city had improved too

Chuck in champions Liverpool who have also strengthened
and it's a great title to win.

World club champions waiting for top3 to slip up.


Arteta appears to have gone down wrong route with
some of his interviews, but maybe he's just
deflecting stuff onto himself.

Time will tell

Arsenal win league this season Arteta is a genius.

Fa cup was Emery team

Arsenal have spent 1.1 billion on players once Eze is confirmed. The Nett spend is 900m and he hasn’t delivered a trophy since spending big.

No other manager has had 5yrs to develop his squad and not won a trophy.

As I said before

He has to win it now or he goes down as the biggest choker in the history of the premier league era. He has been backed more than any other manager ever and failed to delivery if he doesn’t manage it this season.

Arsenal fans don’t have faith because they’re all deflecting with excuses. The facts are he has been given time to develop this project he has been backed to a billion pounds and if he doesn’t get champions league or premier league he is a master in failure. There is no other statement then that

Do or be the meme for life.

Don’t want to hear city this, Liverpool that.

Get the job done or be renowned for eternity as the biggest failure in football ever.

Those are the facts. No other coach / manager has had the luxury Arteta has been given.

Yes chelae and City and liverpool have spent big as well, but they’ve delivered. ETH delivered more with United for a big outlay.

Arsenal have a higher net spend than city in that time since Arteta first full season and transfer windows and they’ve won a trophy on their return for every 80 or 90 million spent. Arteta if u count the Fa cup when he took over the team is 1 billion for one trophy!! He can amend that by delivering this season, but if he doesn’t then like it or not WD he is stats wise the biggest failure as a coach in football.

No pressure Arteta!! Do or boom for his career and the media is already geared up for the pressure cooker!! The man won’t be able to stay in his technical area

So everybody agrees it's about time Arsenal won something and this is a make or break season, no excuses if they don't win the prem or ch league this season (having been the best team in both comps last and are now much much better) Arteta is gone. Phew, glad thats sorted.

Course it is Tyrone

So who will take over when Arteta is gone Allardyce or Neil Warnock?

Jose comes in spends another Billion then leaves?

Which manager will win Arsenal the Title?

Again I am not a fan of Arteta. I would have gone for Klopp before Liverpool got him.

Who now?

I'm not sure if Arteta is the issue at Ars*nal. I think it's more a mentality issue among the players and the club as a whole. Four seasons running they failed to show up when it really mattered.
By:
----you-have-to-laugh---
When: 23 Aug 25 16:23
Can't really say they failed to turn up in 23/24

Citeh just beat them with an exceptional end of season.

Much of the rest is maybe valid, and it was
noticeable that the players talked a more positive game
at start of last season but they had a few setbacks
and put effort elsewhere,

Really interesting to see if they can make the final step.

You've got Eze now, he is a phenomenal player and it's obviously a massive blow to Palace but we wish him well and hopefully he'll help Arsenal succeed. It's a great signing.

The very last day of the season, Sunday 24th May, Palace are at home to Arsenal.

Be interesting to see if Liverpool can continue playing carp and still somehow grinding out results. Has to have been one of the luckiest wins I've seen recently. Comprehensively outplayed until goal completely against run of play and then even with Gordon getting sent off after his braindead tackle and going 0:2 down, once Howe had recomposed them, they were the better team in the 2nd half with only 10 men. Until Liverpool sucker punched them in the 10min of added time. Can't help feeling that eventually Liverpool will pay the price, if they don't start playing better. Apparently, the ball was in play for ~40min despite the match lasting ~111mins, a record low going back to 2010.

Didn't really grind it out to be fair.

They score goals when they attack then its
seat of pants defending as midfield simply not
good enough.

They are so slow getting ball into play and ref
let them as he is clearly unfit and needed the
rest. Should have had a pair of binoculars as
he was so far off the pace.

Liverpool had a lot of luck last year too and lack of injuries. Doesn’t mean it cannot continue. They need Guehi badly! Kerkez on crosses looks like a huge target. He doesn’t even look at the ball. Saka does a hammy again….why? How?

If they go after Isak too hey could be pretty well set but they just don’t look 100% ….. like last year. Arsenal can challenge but they have to carpe diem it although everybody gave it to Liverpool last season and serious challengers amount to Arsenal only this year.

injuries are about training regimes and managers managing minutes as well

Saka was an injury waiting to happen last year given the minutes he played. He obviously has hamstring problems which Arteta doesnt seem to know how to manage

McAllister is Liverpools best midfield player and has been out injured so its a myth that its only Arsenal has injuries to key players
