Gotta give props to Lautaro for having the stones to have his agent say that

Most people have a bit of bias thst can be detected in their posts, but most can stay away from purely delusional posts.

Just understand that when you post here about anything Sweden or Arsenal, not one person who has read you’re posts on those subjects puts any value in your opinion. You’ve earned that reputation for yourself in like a month.

And for any of the guys here who find these takes on Arsenal funny and follow hockey, if you want a real laugh just check out a couple pages of this guys post history on the hockey side.

Feel like giving an example of funny hockey things I have said?

I think the last couple of years show that Spurs are clearly better than Arsenal right now, and the jury is still out on Emery while Poch has been pretty consistent so far, and seems to now be finding his foothold in Europe (though that could easily have been a one off).

I don't agree with 'miles ahead' as I think Spurs are a bit overrated on here, but overall they're certainly better right now unless Arsenal take a decent step forward; one point doesn't really reflect their difference IMO.

Poch has been a very consistent loser and built himself a reputation as a specialist of not winning titles. Spurs have done nothing of value.

 

[AB13]

Oh you don't have to tell me lol. I'm just sitting here like what the hell? I think most Arsenal fans are totally displeased with the situation they're currently in, especially because of the rise of Tottenham. But we have like three on here who are all gung-ho.

They're probably a fringe top 6 team. This is Arsenal?

Fringe top 6 team? That is a huge overexagerration. Top 4 is to be expected

 

[AB13]

I would agree that the difference between Spurs and Arsenal is really not much at the moment and that they are trending in opposite directions.

The one thing that worries me about Spurs is if they continue making decent moves and spend money as they are now they may grow that gap rather quickly. They are no longer a tier below Arsenal in influence they have the new stadium and the CL draw. Arsenal have the EL draw and a small amount of fees to work with at the moment.

I trust Unai to make some decent moves and go a step forward this year, but I could see Spurs taking another step as well, which I hate to say.

Spurs are not trending up, they are trending down. Pocchetino has regressed as a manager during the past years and is making silly mistakes. Their point totals have also severely dropped.

Could you at least stay on topic AB13? There is another thread for this.

Oh my lol. This guy is amazing.

I have no idea if "tutto mercato" is a reliable source or if it's complete bs. anyway: They report Bayern will acquire Pepe (Lille) and Sane (City) for a fee of 165m combined.

Let this person continue. This is comedy gold! I haven't had a good laugh since that drunk Arsenal legend, forgot his name, said Ramsey made a mistake leaving Arsenal because Juventus is not as big a club as they are.

Jeez, buddy, they just went to the CL final, how are they trending down?

Makes CL Final=trending downwards. LOL

Not to mention Poch = loser.

If Emery lost the CL final last year AB would be building a statue.

What a nutter. Good for a laugh though

Don't you need to actually qualify for CL to have the chance to lose a final?

 

[Evilo]

Meh he said Emery was a proven winner.
So... Context doesn't matter much to him...

AB13 has moved to the right thread for discussing the trending of Spurs. I suggest the rest follow.

I don’t get this Fekir to Betis at all. Why is he moving? Fed up with Lyon?

Amazing deal for Betis if they can replace Lo Celso for half the money they are getting from Spurs (even if some of that goes to PSG).

"Their point totals have also severely dropped."

Last year was the 4th highest point total in the history of the club and last year was the 2nd highest. But because they likely overachieved a bit and got 86 points a couple years ago they're trending down.

I think Fekir wants to play under more spotlight internationally.
Now, his failed medical has probably hurt a lot of his value and attractiveness.
So why not Betis?
That said maybe Betis are interested and not Fekir.
In any case Lyon are trying hard to convince him to stay.

If the price has dropped to 30m one would think he would have some options. Not to mention his contract is up 1 year from now. On a free transfer he would certainly get offers from teams bigger than Betis.

So by moving to Betis he´ll play for a weaker team than he is playing for now and he´ll forfeit the opportunity to leave on a free transfer 1 year from now. So odd on so many levels.

Only thing he gets is basically some security by signing a new contract (might be important if his knee fails of course).

I was startled to see the mooted salary for Fekir at Betis was 7 million - I wasn't aware they spent that highly on wages.

Would you have any idea what his Lyon salary is by comparison? I see the logic in him hoping Betis would be a springboard to greater things, and given the negative perceptions associated with his failed medical, if such a move considerably boosts his pay packet (while at the same time presumably exposing him to lower income taxes), all the more reason to go.

Ah, I see that while I was typing Havre mentioned the security point too.
