So you've not had a stable platform for over 20 years, yet you're criticising us for doing what you seem to have been doing recently? With regards to Sturridge, he might have come good but he had his chances to start, believe me, but more than one manager didn't fancy him. Same as with Lukaku. Did Andy Carrol get a fair crack at it? Or Downing? We've wasted plenty of money, and dumped lots of players, but we're not the only ones.

Yes, however it doesn't meant that I am not just as critical of my own team. Over the past couple of years though I would like to think that we've taken significant steps towards breaking free of that endless cycle of burning money on players who offer value for a limited time.

And we've been guilty of that more times than I care to remember. Belts have been tightened because of FFP more than anything else.

The Utd deal might make a difference. Big money deals will be hard to query, as they will point to that deal, as the baseline

While I don't disagree with you Colin, the flip side to that is their worldwide support and stature enables them to attract that type of deal. For all the laughing at them last season, that's something we can never match.

really? he isn't bad according to stats last season put up against Lahm & Sagna

he got better in his second season at Newcastle. 1st year settling. 2nd year playing. 3rd year at Arsenal improving ;)

£12 million is quite a lot of money as there will be no sell on.

not bothered. he is statistically developing in the league. if that continues Arsenal will need him to stick around for a while.

6 - Mathieu Debuchy made more last-man saving tackles than any other Premier League player last season. Handy.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 
Yeah £12 million is about right for an established Premier league defender.
