Yes I admit I thought top six was the best we could get last season. Fortunately for us 3-4 top 4-5 teams had a nightmare season and this has never happened before certainly in a PL season. So yes it could happen again but certainly not this season.
You can certainly argue we "got away with it" last year. If Kane had got injured long term our 1 striker policy might have seemed a tad foolish then.
I think the people who are concerned this time round are purely failing to understand why we risk leaving things up to chance when we are a profitable CL club.
Nice to see the Levy , let's pretend I tried press release coming out early....from Ali Z
We agreed terms with Isco and Madrid and agreed terms with Sissokko deal was never agreed Isco no idea but guess player decided to stay and obvs Everton have outbid us that info is hot off the press
Well let's go back and throw everything we've got at him, even give him a night with Doris the tea lady if that's what he's into and will get him here...from Ali Z

If all the top teams would have performed as expected last year then we would've probably finished 6th. That aside, we were extremely lucky with injuries and fell at the last due to our squad quality. This year, we haven't improved the first eleven, just the squad, which is now extremely thin and dare I say it, inexperienced. For rotation, we are now relying on Carroll and Winks as CM. I'm sure the 3rd choice keeper will come in handy at some point in the season.Damn! We didn't sign that extra player. We're destined to finish mid table. Like last summer when we didn't sign a DM or back up striker and ended up mid table like everyone promised...oh, wait...

Leicester apparently spending £30m on Slimani! LEICESTER!!!! And Gooners have been criticising Wenger, he's still shelled out £60 plus million for new players.
Ambitious? Our chairman? Proud of our club and wanting the best for it? With all the extra TV revenue and CL money?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I look forward to the inevitable letter on our website.Nice to see the Levy , let's pretend I tried press release coming out early....
I can't be the only one who thinks this is a f*cking stupid thing to say?Bring back Irving scholar or Alan sugar this levy chap is running out club into the ground.....
Isn't N'koudou exactly that sort of player? Pretty sure every time he gets the ball he runs at the opposition. Who knows if he'll turn out good but we've done exactly what Soton did when they signed Mane originally and signed someone at reasonable price with upside.
Wanyama and Janssen have filled gaps in squad. My main issue is we literally have no one who can do what Dembele does, not even close. Without sorting this it's hard to view this window as a success at all.
i think i need to get a better understanding of not only our club finances but also other clubs. With all this extra money washing around from 3rd place, and CL and new TV deal i thought we might have quite a large positive net spend this summer. But nothing has changed in that respect.
So how are we being out spent by all other clubs? Ones without CL football? without 3rd place prize money? Are they borrowing against future earnings? Are their chairmen loaning them cash? Are we actually one of the few sensible clubs? are do we lack ambition?
We keep being told the stadium won't effect things, but i think it must be.
Can't help feeling we are going to leave the party just before the strippers arrive
