Arsenal is a funny club lmao, if they don't buy some quality players that CAN help them a lot then they'll stay a midtable team with no big ambitions

@Argjent Well to be honest, Arsenal obviously don't have the same ressource as other club aiming for those top spot. So they need to be smart about the player they sign. Signing promising young player from Ligue 1 isn't generally a bad bet. Lille is really good a producting talented player as well and they had a pretty good last season so it make sense a lot of team will be interested by their players.

@argjent this is the same league and quality of players that kicked your overrated juventus ass out of UCL. Have some shame little nitty

Juventus is a funny club lmao, if they don't buy some quality players that CAN help them a lot then they'll keep winning one horse league team with no big ambitions in UCL.

@tawqir @quikzyyy you guys are right, we are horrible too but at least we are winning Serie A and have CR7 in our team.

considering how much you spend and the team you have it would be real shame if you didn't win the league, doubt that an achievement for the board.

Take out juventus from that league and even leicester will win it 10 years in a row
