"Arsenal have given Arsene Wenger their unequivocal backing and will give the beleaguered Frenchman £55million to rebuild his ailing squad."
lol, £55m. That squad needs £155m spent on it, never mind 55. Wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of that money gets used to make RVP a blockbuster offer to try to make him stay.

*The available funds you can use will be less than this figure, since something something something.
Yep, that final would be great. However,I am not confident. There are lot of hurdles we have to go through. Sunderland team is a scray opposition, and if we beat them, then I will be more confident. Before then, let us not speak of a final.
I'm innumerate, so I went for classics and literature.
Nicky Butt says Cleverley is a much more technically proficient player than he was.
I'm not particularly good at maths but I find Economics to be an alright subject to get into. Except on days like today when I'm sat in front of a wall of figures and economic gibberish. I think econometrics was designed specifically to mess with students.
Nicky Butt was a decent enough player but he never was the most technically proficient. He couldn't pass like Scholes or battle like Keane. This is why he never nailed down a starting spot at United imo.
Same. And the shit thing is I'm going to have to buy a ticket to the Stoke game to secure a Wembley Semi ticket, should we get there, and after going to the league game in Jan that seems like a bad idea.
I joked that attending that league game should've qualified you for a Carling Cup Final ticket.
WTF happened there then.
As a welcome back, I will now depress United-GAF
Fergie: I could have signed Hart for £100K

Aye hows comes GAF was down, work was very boring without it
Would have been alright. We're fine, though.
Been watching some reserves games and Diouf and Macheda could really bang them in at that level. I can see, at least, why Ferguson thought it wasn't an imbecilic idea to chuck them in the first team mix occasionally.
10 million went on his transfer, 1 million went to his agent, he earns 2.5mil a year and we signed him up for 4 years so thats another 10 million and he gets a match appearance bonus of 5k a game so chalk up another 100k at least every season and we've already spent 21.1 million of the 55 million available.
Brilliant.
I remember a post like this from an Arsenal fan regarding a transfer. I can't remember if it was in the past seasons football thread or that site they set up after their thread was locked.
55 million, thats about 3 players at best.

Seems like Bayern is really interested in Favre, probably in 2013 because I don't see Jupp resigning and Jupp being fired is even less likely.
I hope Gladbach can give him some cool new signings (Beister to Gladbach? I can see it happen), so he stays there. Bayern could actually do well with a good coach lol

Using Wikipedia, in his last 199 appearances he has scored 180 goals and assisted 73 .....
That money is probably dependent on the sale of RVP, knowing the Arsenal board.
He's talking about this season
Yes, I know.
Oh, sorry I thought you meant something else.
Favre should never never never go to Bayern. He built Gladbach with his own hands and can lead this team to many CLs in a row. Plus, he can basically ask Max Eberl for anything as long as he stays there.
All is going according the plan mwahahaha
It wouldn't surprise me if Jupp decides to "retire" after this season.
Joke of a football club. 55 million? shove that money up your jacksie kroenke.
It's sad when arsenal has the second richest sugar daddy in usmanov but he's frozen out at board level.
fuck you stan, gazidis and ofcourse that muppet who manages us.

Barcelona, Man City, Juventus, etc they all are in red numbers. So is not that easy, almost all the teams will have to cut they transfer/salaries budget.

growth steroids.....seriously when was the last time messi got sideline through injury? he seems to play every barca games, the full 90 minutes..
Nothing wrong with £55m. I mean, C. Ronaldo to Barca cost me a mere £10 last week. 
42 goals - 21 assists

And he's not that big either but he never goes down even when running through 10 players.
Those growth steroids must be awesome shit.

You can say a lot of good things about Favre but how did he build Gladbach? He didn't buy anyone that is starting. He took over a good squad and got/gets the best out of it.
I'm not sure if he stays, I'd say it depends on the players Gladbach buys in summer. If there are no proper replacements, then I can see him get out of there and join Bayern.
Just watched highlights of yesterday's games:
Stoke done well, they're all bastards but they know how to put in performances. Losing to Valencia was no shame.
Tottenham were dire but at least they're experimenting in games where there's little risk of them actually losing. I expect a 3-0 win at home now they've seen Stevanage aren't exactly pushovers.
Brighton defending was comical. Liverpool should start with Gerrard/Suarez/Carroll as often as they can, he looked pretty good.
Barcelona were magnificent. I've said a few times I miss 2008/09 Barca; they weren't as good but they were like Madrid of now, fast and direct on the counter with Eto'o and Henry. Last night they played as well as I have seen since then. 30 shots against a great team, jeez.
Madrid were pretty pedestrian the other night to be fair, but they didn't need to step it up. Ronaldo will be pissed at Messi. And laughable red card.
Bilbao got outplayed for the whole first half; Sid Lowe's column today is about Malaga's shortcomings but I thought they were really good in the first half. Bielsa won it again though, really hope we get them in the EL.
Inter lol, Napoli and Roma yay. It'll be interesting to see if Roma do improve what players they buy to mirror this Barca style even more.
Juve-Milan should be awesome.

I've always wondered about that.
No idea what steroids he took or what effect they had but he has some seriously stunning physical attributes for a guy a small as him.
Don't let De Gea's crappy form fool you, UTD didn't get him for free
18 million and 75k a week, for a 20 year old goal keeper. High prices indeed.I think he did. OK, guys like Eberl do their job extremely well compared to say, Preetz.
But if you check the numbers, in his one year at Gladbach, Favre won 66 pts in an 18 teams league. The year before, Gladbach got only 28 points without him.
And high profile dudes like Simons and Dante were already there. Neustädter and Reus also.
ter Stegen and Herrmann weren't though.

You picked the wrong waste of money.Don't let De Gea's crappy form fool you, UTD didn't get him for free
Ashley Young for £16m and £120k a week is what you should have gone with.
Downing is only marginally more a waste of money than Young. I just don't see the point of him.

Eugh. Young. EUGH!
I'll give him some time yet but he's never ever gonna be close to as good as Naanbread or Valencia.

He won't be as good as Nani or Valencia, but I'll be happy enough if he can find that early season form again.

Yep he was good in his first month. Hopefully he can reach those levels again and stay near enough to them. A good option to have for sure. He has just come back from a long time out so his performances at Chelsea and Ajax will have been because of that in part at least.
