The anger
Sp**s signing Ndombele for 60M.
Arsenal Mania told me he’ll never go there and they haven’t got the money.
Ok.
The acceptance
Bet you they are going to sign Lo Celso too, they are gonna try and pull a Liverpool. It was always obvious after a CL final run they would go out and splash but delusional people thought just because our joke club was skint post stadium move theirs would be too.
It's already bad enough with City and Liverpool way out of reach, but it will be a sad day when soon Tottenham will be out of our reach too.
And I just found this pretty funny
Weirdly enough, we were in debt for 500+ million after the stadium move but a lot of it was for the Highbury redevelopment. Which brought that net debt down significantly.
They have to stay in the CL. Their debt was supposedly extended to 600+ million. They stayed at Wembley far longer than they wanted to. The CL final run came at a very opportune moment for them. They're inflated numbers came from not spending anything on transfers. The season before, their net spend was negligible as well.
Pochettino, Kane and CL are crucial for them. They have to spend to stay in the CL and keep Pochettino. Chelsea with a transfer ban and United being a **** show, this is the best time for them to solidify top 4 for a while. Also looking at that squad, I'm not sure anyone barring Kane is actually worth buying for a mega club. Doesn't look like Eriksen has any takers from Spain/PSG.
It was always a myth that their stadium build meant they couldn't buy players. They had the money but chose not to.
