Thread: Barca again Bang head

    Barca again Bang head

    Barca seem to think they can tap up an Arsenal player at will and lowball the fees just because they're Barca, "the best team in the world." I know Song inspires mixed feelings but I like him and think he's one of the best players in the squad. While AW is in a resistance mindset with RVP, would be great to see the same with Song and Barca. I'll be more disappointed if Song leaves than RVP, because it reaffirms the inferior selling club mentality compared to the likes of Barca, Madrid, and ManU.

    Well, we are inferior to those three clubs. So is everyotherclub in the world

    And barca can nick who they like and 'lowball' the fees.

    UltimAtely, if they want a player badly enough they are going to get him.

    Unfortunately, we have to accept our place in the scheme of things

    A few clubs, and it really is only a few, prove a bigger draw on players than we do.
    You re more likley to win something at Barca or Manure than you will at our place.

    no reason we have to cave to them

    Let them do their shopping elsewhere. South America, Portugal, and Italy have plenty of decent players available on the cheap if that's what they need.

    To be fair to Song, he's made a statement to say he's happy at Arsenal

    He's got a contract to honour, we're in no rush to sell

    It's not just us though, is it. Have you any idea how many former Barcelona, Real Madrid

    and Manchester United players there are going about in football today?

    No, I don't either, of course, but it's got to be a fair few surely.

    A fair & correct post. We also did not invest & build on having the best team in Europe

    years back & sadly this is where we are now. But at least we got a new stadium out of it & we can only hope in the long term that will pay its way.

    I'd also add that our recent plight hasn't been assisted by the Oligarch down the road.

    Ferguson, is about to undertake the same cruel journey.
    I confidently predict that with or without RvP, they will win f**k all this season.

    imitation is the sincerest form of flattery i guess

    We play the same style, sometimes with better players at certain positions, and they just see what they want and take it because there are very few other players in the world who could easily fit Barca's system and are affordable. If we still had all the players that have left in the past 2 years, we'd easily be competitive with Barca on the pitch. The club should be demanding 50% more in fees every time they come around at least.

    I'd argue that 'invest & build' is exactly what we did

    Of course, if you'd rather it was all spunked on player wages, transfer fees and agents commission to people like Pini Zahavi then that's your call.
