Totally agree with Wenger on this one.....

Competition in Europe's biggest leagues is being "destroyed" by clubs who have "huge financial power", says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Frenchman Wenger pointed to examples in France, Germany, England and Spain.

Paris St-Germain are 11 points clear in Ligue 1, Bayern Munich have a 16-point advantage in the Bundesliga and Manchester City are 15 points ahead at the top of the Premier League.

Wenger said it was clear that "unpredictability has gone down".

He added: "When you look at the five big leagues in Europe, in December we already knew four champions.

Is that the same Wenger who has just spent 60m on PEA and offered 350k a week to keep Sanchez

They've made a profit on transfers this season.

That is a little strawman in the context of the article of him saying money is ruining football.

And this window for them is an ideal example of how irrelevant making a profit on the transfer window in the bigger scheme of things. They have lost an assert that potentially may have been worth 150m+ in the current ludicrous market due to moronic management .

It is like giving your son a pat on the back for making a 10k profit in his first year of running your art Gallery only to find he has been cutting up the Mona Lisa and using it to wipe his arse.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. You don't think the financial power of a few clubs is ruining competition and making leagues predictable?

By and large I believe that comoletely.

I was just commenting on your comment that Arsenal have made a profit this transfer window.

I was originally passing comment in relation to what I feel where imo hypocritical comments by Arsene Wenger on how money is ruining the game.

Even those these fuckers one today, the atmosphere still looked dead as fuck, could hear a pin drop, seats emptying early, surely the worst atmosphere in the whole league there ground?
Could hardly tell they were winning

When has that become a new thing though? There's just a couple more of them about now.

I don't really get what everyone is moaning about, if it wasn't for Chelsea and ManC, the PL would be like the Bundesliga with ManU winning it every year and stripping away every decent player from their rivals and paying a shitload less to do it, because they'd have no competition.

I strongly disagree but we’ve been here before.
