defence was the priority though right mav? I shaw finds form you have by far the best backline since fergie and one that is set for years. cant do everything in one window, and your deadwood is harder to shift. arsenal addressed 4 positions with 2 quick fixes and 2 long term solutions, while utd addressed 3 positions with 3 long term solutions, thats not a big difference is it?

mav, do you prefer utd’s squad last year or this year? luiz and cabellos are cheap short term business, in short term strengthens arsenal more than james, but tierney and pepe is on par with bissaka and maguire imo and i honestly dont see a big difference.

stevo you really think pepe was an option for pool? I dont as I dont see him wanting to be back up to mane and salah when he could start regularly for you

mav agree with most of that, but when i only consider how each has strengthened I dont see a massive difference.

stevo, im only having a bit of fun, of course it would have been a bit different if you had qualified for CL, and you have had a good window, but I cant help mocking kroenke for his comments because it is just self promoting babble. As for pool, I still think its a tough ask to iwprove on a squad that earned 97 points. I think their logic is unless a special player becomes available the bigger risk is unsettling the squad they have.

stevo, transfer expenditure is spread out, which is why clubs tend not to have 2 big summers in succession. If the right player was available Im sure pool would have spent, but they have so much expenditure to account for from last few seasons they wont just buy for sake of spending. Pool have ruled the market in terms of the kind of strategy you are praising kroenke for since klopp arrived. Wouldnt be surprised if they get timo werner in jan or on a pre contract for free summer move. I dont think winning CL changed pools strategy, they are evidentally too astute in the market to change plans based on one game, although arsenal seem to be bragging that their plans were completely changed by 45 mins? Cant act in a reactionary way then go on a pr mission to convince everyone of how proactive they are. The problems have been obvious pre emery, shouldnt have taken a battering fron chelsea on last day of the season to notice, but if it helped you are welcome, thank god you didnt win eh? 😉

I dont see a solution, more people choosing to support lower league teams would be a start though, so respect for you Brian for being the change you want to see.

ps stevo I personally believe luiz for 8m is one of the best deals of the summer

I didnt say you guys havent strengthened stevo, you most certainly have, but not massively more than utd have.

well from a stragic POV and considering constraints I can see what you are getting at, but if you only consider how much each team strengthed on the field its not a massive difference imo. To be fair all utd’s buys have been long term and they are trying to offload their over paid dead wood too. To paraphrase chris rock “those gunners expect credit for shit they supposed to do! 🙂

I dont think arsenals summer was that much better than utd’s stevo, but I do think it was a very good window for you. Tierney and pepe are fantastic signings, what worries me as chelsea fan is prospect of arsenal qualifying CL then having an even better summer next year. Think its worried lamps too which is why we have deployed agent luiz 🙂 if only we could have got agent bakayoko to utd too..

to add to that ed, while I agree this season could poor for us, there is also a very real possibility of a big uplift, and good luck to emery or solskjaer keeping their jobs if either finish below lampards chelsea!

Ed, I agree with you and totally behind frank, but i do think we will always be vulnerable to good defensive countering sides this season. rashford and martial are seasoned pros next to tammy and giroud is impact sub. Until ruben and hudson are playing week in week out and we have a top striker we will struggle against good defensive teams like wolves imo

wolves were piss poor going forward, especially first half with a pathetic 69% pass success. Not easy building attacks with 8 defenders and 2 forwards though. They were as painful to watch as my chelsea in conte’s 2nd season. I was so annoyed I found myself wanting utd to win. I wish I could rip into both these teams, but I cant because no matter how crap they both were there is a chance both could finish above chelsea this season 🙂 although at least chelsea’s games were entertaining.

VAR in itself is not the problem nil, its this particular stupid rule, if VAR has inspired this new rule though, and like pagan fears will lead to more stupid rules, then it does more harm than good imo.
