Built on myth.Wait until February/March when suspensions kick in then judge the squads, as I said it's debatable who has a better starting 11.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,782 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Spurs squad is a lot stronger than Arsenals.Goes back to what I said yesterday about Wenger being a great manager and that's the only reason Spurs haven't knocked them out the top four one the last two or three seasons.

The Godfather 71,886 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just spent 42 million on a player. Just go look at the facts finance wise regarding Arsenal. Arsenal will soon have 300 million revenue, up there with Bayern Munich. And the Tottenham squad is not stronger than Arsenals and Arsenal first team is one of the best in the league, and certainly Arsenals best side since 2007-2008.The Arsenal first team is not better than United, Chelsea, Spurs or City's.Behave. Yeah the money they have had sitting for years after selling Nasri, Song, Fabregas, Clichy ect. Because they sign 1 player they are now one of the best Aye nae bother.

wullyRFC 5,230 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Chelseas has the best back up squad in the league by far but it's not a given that Arsenal will suffer injuries and suspentions to they're best players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Wait until February/March when suspensions kick in then judge the squads, as I said it's debatable who has a better starting 11.Arsenal is already missing players, Flamini is now out, Walcott is injured still and Podolski is now only back training. People said the same thing last season about Tottenham when Arsenal actually didn't play well at all until after the Bayern Munich tie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 3 players... Tottenham currently have Chadli and Lamela fit, Lamela cost 30 million and has done nothing. Soldado has only got one goal which wasn't a penalty. They are lightweight as an attacking force and the Arsenal midfield is miles better.

King Jela 20,361 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It's crazy how people seem to think they know what Pep want's as a manager or what he sees as being a better suited job to himself.It's plain guesswork.He'll probably go to the best team around at the time, that seems to be how it works with him.

Spurs have Sandro, Capoue, Dembele, Sandro & Paulinho in midfield, Arsenal have Flamini, Arteta, Ramsey & Wilshere. Spurs have Soldado, Defoe & Adebayor upfront Arsenal have Giroud, Sanogo & Bendtner.Not much between the midfielders but Arteta is in his 30's now & injury prone, Flamini is injury prone but Spurs have significantly more depth upfront & at the back.

sdunsmb 43 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Spurs squad is only theoretically better than Arsenal's based on the reputation of their signings - the majority of which are totally unproven.You also have to remember that the existing foundation of Spurs' squad is not actually that strong in terms of quality - they were carried by the likes Bale, Modric and VDV for years.Spurs have increased in depth but lost out in quality IMO.I would be very shocked if they came above Arsenal - their golden chance to do so has been in the last 2 seasons and they threw it away big time. Arsenal look much stronger this year, personally I would expect them to widen the gap between them and Spurs if anything. AlCapone 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
