which club has been the transfer king up till now?

what do u think.. which transfers have been the most impressive.. and which ones do u expect to really MATTER and make a difference.

I don't mean to be biased, but Arsenal's dealings in the transfer market have been nothing short of remarkable. Anelka? £0.5k...sold for £20million odd. Etc. Buy cheap unknowns, turn them into super stars, and then rake in the profits.

all thanks to the pedophile wenger...

i still cant believe u guys sold Henry... arsenal= a bunch of kids at the moment

its a scary thought, if he manager to mold some of these players into the next Henry's ... that should really make Arsenal big time competitors.

if the thread was meant for this summer only, id say chelsea or man utd have been very strong.

Man utd for the sheer quality of the signings, and chelsea for the quality/price remarkable ratio.

Yeah, if this summer only i'd go with Man Utd. Chelsea seem to be snapping up backups on frees.

If i had my way i would have sold Henry at the beginning of last season for £50million like Barca offered. He's 29 now, i think his best is behind him, time to get some profit while we still can. I love him though, such a gentleman and model professional.

But i do worry for the future. Kids are good but we need depth and experience. I think we'll finish 5th or 6th this season.

at least u guys beat chelsea to the CL finals.. pitty you didn't win. stupid Lehmann.

The ref should have allowed Eto'o's goal and booked Lehman or something. Don't understand why he didn't play the advantage. Urgh, terrible night.

yeah... and it's a long shot for u guys to reach the final again

seem to have a curse in European finals. Cup Winners Cup vs Real Zaragosa, UEFA vs Galatassary and then Champions League against Barca :(

this brings up a very interesting question..

when was the last time a final was played without much problems/speculation

the last CL final i can remember when the winners won without the opposing team having problems with the ref/decisions was the porto-monaco final...

What no Man City? :p

lol

thats why i dont gamble... we were ALL WRONG :D

but in all honesty... man city were (lucky) ... beating manU 1 nil doesnt mean anything unless they STAY on top till at least january.

Man City will be happy to have a spot in the UEFA Cup. So they will focus on League Cup or FA Cup. I dont think they're strong enough to finish 5th or 6th. They will have to finish 7th and hope that either ManUtd or another top 4 team wins the domestic Cups if they dont.

i beg to differ...

man city (from the looks of things) might end up in 3rd/4th place

Too early in the season. Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool have too much depth to not finish in the top. Then theirs a little gap, and Arsenal, Spurs, Everton are all clubs I believe to be stronger than City. So top end of the table is far possible, I dont see them pushing for the top.

fair enough.. its too early to call.. one team that really surprised me is Arsenal... unless they get some of their main players injured, they'll also push for a top 3 position...

only difference between arsenal and the top 3 is DEPTH.. we can survive under injuries, they cant.

what do you think of the spurs? they put up a pretty good fight against manU. and in fairness shouldve ended in a draw.

tottenham vs arsenal .. cant wait for this one!!

Spurs are a young team, with a lot of English talent. I've always ranked Bale, and he was in my opinion the 3rd best player on the pitch today ( Hargreaves and Nani were the best). If Spurs lose Berbatov to Man Utd or injury, I think Everton will finish stronger than them, however if they manage to keep him, they will be in contention for UEFA or CL spot.

im still pissed with the chelsea game :r we could've been #1 .. chelsea shouldve lost... i HATE IT when those cheats get away with murder!!

when is manU playing chelsea?

September 23rd.
Utd have a interesting month. In my opinion they should get 4 wins (Sunderland, Everton, Chelsea, Birmingham). Ronaldo will be back for Everton. Saha and Anderson are fit again.

Arsenal for the title!

the gooners are full of surprises.. i wouldnt be surprised if they ended up leading the table by january.

Well, we beat the league leaders, lol.

Am surprised at how we've done so far tbh. Not to shabby considering we havent signed anyone.

not too shabby at all.... whatever happened to the dubai group? u guys could really use the money!
