And is that the reason why they couldn't finish ahead of Leicester last year? Or how about juventus, atletico madrid and borussia dortmund? Do you know why sanchez went to arsenal? Because juventus didn't have the money to sign him. They still managed to build a much stronger team than arsenal with less resources.
Leicester last year was the exception that proves the rule. You can see it from their league position this year. They are not a top 6 side in terms of quality in their squad.
They clearly are, CL finalists two years ago, forgot where they ended last year, better squad.
Probably true.
They won the league with 81 points. Are you telling me arsenal didn't have a team good enough for more than that?
So? They did nothing arsenal couldn't have done
No, he went to arsenal because they were the best option available to him. Juve weren't an option because they didn't have the money to sign him from barcelona.
Maybe they are not this year, we will see. Last season, and the one before? C'mon...
In extra time, getting every 50/50 call by the ref against them, a perfectly legal goal disallowed, a missed red card...arsenal just rolled over against barcelona
Mourinho, Pelligrini and Poch capitulated behind Leicester let alone LVG or Wenger. Anomalies happen, Leicester were simply a different beast last season. Pep can't even handle them when they played to last seasons form.
I disagree but that's beside the point. I'm not talking about wenger
Guess there's been a misunderstanding here. My poin is juventus didn't have the money to sign sanchez, while arsenal did. Arsenal had more resources at their disposal than juventus. Despite that, juventus managed to build a far better side than arsenal
That's terribly subjective. Juventus dominated an easier league. If they were in the Premier League you're assuming they'd win it over Arsenal City Chelsea etc.. which is a big assumption.
Its hard to be a Gooner mate.
Not assuming anything. Juventus were better than arsenal the last two seasons. That's not really up for debate. As for wether juve would have won or not, Leicester won the title last season, with 81 points. Chelsea won the year before, the same team that was made to look pedestrian by PSG in CL. But that's not the point i'm making, not exactly
Pretty sure that's not true anymore. I remember that Arsenal's wage bill surpassed Chelsea's a few years ago and I doubt that has changed since. Found the following link after a quick google search:
Well there goes my legs to stand on. Honestly wasn't aware of that, cheers for sharing.
Not going to go on arguing on this as we have different opinions. But, Leicester last season was really an exception. Usually teams with best squads and balance win it at the end, irrespective of the number of points gained.

Can't wait. Ozil is going down, fam. Hope they interview Claude this time.
Also Sunday: Spuds get within a point of nicking Arsenal's 4th place spot.
Plus talk about Sanchez wanting much more than what Arsenal are willing to offer. Either they lose him or he fecks up their wage structure.
Isn't that the frightening factor to it all. That's why I no longer consider Wenger a top manager. To make the same mistakes so consistently for so long is unforgivable. I remember the first game this season he had Chambers and the boy that they got from Bolton at centre half. They were torn to pieces, a good manager would never put his players in that kind of situation. Only way that Arsenal will move forward is to move on from Wenger. For a guy to be at the club for so long he should leave a hero, instead he'll go and a good percentage of their fans will be glad. Shame really.
"Where did I put Jose's number...."
