The Godfather 71,895 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 "Spurs have increased in depth but lost out in quality IMO."They lost Bale and brought in Paulinho, Erikson, Lamela, Soldado, Chirches ect so I can't really see how that made them lose on quality. Those players are very good players who once they get used to the EPL will be a super side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Then why were you giving it the top of the league GIRUY as if being there in October is some sort of achievement an hour ago? Because some people seem to believe its only based over 4-5 games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 The squad debate with Spurs is irrelevant anyway as it will come down to the best team at the end of the day and Arsenal WILL improve the squad in the next few years and bring in big players.

And we will see. I personally do think Arsenal might need 2-3 top players to actually win the league but this could be the first season they challenge for the league since 2008.

AlCapone 7,678 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Big test for the countries form team at the moment, it will be close but I expect the Arsenal to win and stay top Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 There's nothing to debate, Spurs have a stronger squad, only a clown would say otherwise.I don't think you understand the meaning of the word squad.In this instance I would say the opposite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted October 31, 2013 Author 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. Without a doubt, I think they will finish the highest placed London team for the second time in 3 seasons Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 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.Spot on, nothing like getting facts in the way of a story eh? The Arsenal have had the worst injuries of the top 6 this season but still sit top, them are the facts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 71,895 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Arsenal will do well to be in the top 3 come the end of the season.With their limited squad, only going out of Europe early will see them maybe achieve a top 3 spot.Chelsea last season were in a simlair position before their November slump, I predict the same for Arsenal.

the goal machine 7,803 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Spurs may have better depth but they've looked really poor recently. Relying on a dodgy penalty against Hull, not much cutting edge against Villa but they're grinding out results I suppose.However, I think Arsenal have the better team when everyone's fit but I can't see them dealing too well with injuries. Can see it being between them for fourth again with Arsenal scraping it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
