Is it true that Bayern's season-ticket price is just over Arsenal's standard ticket price for a match?

Anyway, that to me was one of the best performances for an away side in a long, long while. Can only hope Bayern, Juve, Dortmund, Barca don't draw each other until the semis, SHOULD they all progress of course.

Probably not, but the point is pretty valid. Germany still has terraces though, so that's part of it.

I hope Juve play Porto in the next round, because one of them deserves to be in the Semis. And beyond that I want Man U. Gala are the only club I think are worse that has a shot in my mind at advancing. If Madrid get the result in England, I want Gala. I guess PSG/Valencia would be a pretty easy tie for Bayern too.

Alright well look. If you really do have a £70m war chest for the summer, you can get back on track quite quickly.

1. Falcao - 35m
2. Hummels - 20m
3. Sven Bender - 15m

More Ox. Theo wide. Problem solved.

But there are lots of combinations. You could probably get Fernando off Porto for a "reasonable" (though according to you) fee. Howedes would come. Mario Gomez will need a new team, although if I were you I'd just try to pip Bayern to Lewandowski.

But whatever you do, don't buy 8 up and comers. Buy established stars who have done well at high levels. If you MUST look at young players, PLEASE look to Germany and/or Spain. There are so many brilliant young players in the Bundesliga, including my favorite Son Heung-Min who I really don't want to see at Dortmund or Schalke so you should buy him.

Oh and tits.
Jovetic,Bender/Capoue/Wanyama/Strootman,central defender-no clue who we could sign and a keeper-Julio Caesar/Vorm/Begovic/Pepe Reina/Stekelenburg. These areas we must strengthen if we want to just finish in CL position without much trouble and compete for one of the domestic cups-thats what we should do,anyway.

Schalke got 3 CBs and any one of the them would improve your defense. Oddly, Howedes might be the easiest to get.

I can't tell you from my eyes either, but his reputation is very good and no doubt he'll be cheaper than Capoue because Lyon are a bit of the Arsenal of France. They set proper player sale values internally and will accept reasonable bids that match that amount.

I've been thinking that Ramsey has shown little signs of improvement of recent. He has a long way to go to be a starter but in deep central midfield he hasn't been too bad. He has to work on his positioning and release the ball far quicker-his speed of thought must be better- but he tries his best whenever and wherever he plays of recent.

If we get a proper holder in the summer I don't see a stronger midfield in England if you look at the options even if we don't have anyone as good as Yaya and Carrick. Wilshere however can reach their level next season and Yaya hasn't exactly been great this season while Carrick has been consistent-improved his forward passing tremendously.....Van Persie is easy to find though and their overall forward movement of the team is just on another level compared to us.

Wilshere,Arteta,Cazorla(when he plays attacking midfield),Rosicky, Ramsey,the youngsters,Diaby on a rare good day and hopefully a good holder in the summer... are pretty fucking good options. Its up to Arsene though and I don't think we have a clear strategy of playing while he doesn't rotate unless its reactionary-Rosicky looks so good but he never plays him!

For once this season I'd like to see us play...

Szczesny
Sagna-Per-Koscielny-Nacho
Arteta-Wilshere
Theo-Rosicky-Cazorla
Giroud

Overall I think we need 4 or 5 players to build a title challenging squad and think at least three will arrive in holding midfield,GK and striker regardless of our final position in the league. If Sagna leaves we need a right back too.

Ashley Williams is an interesting rumor.

Impressed with him since Swansea arrived in the PL. He is quick,aggressive,powerful if not very tall and decent with the ball as well. He might not be a world beater but a PL experienced defender with some cojones who speaks clear English maybe what we could do with.

If Vermin to Barca rumours have any substance we should bite their hands off.Ashley for 8m and Amorebieta or whatever for free should be good business with Vermin,Squid and Djorou hopefully leaving.

Mus, as the local Matuidi expert, should he move on to a better club (and financially he has no reason to), where would he fit best? Maybe Arsenal?

Arsenal would be good, he could replace Parker at Spurs too and he'd probably be a step up on all of City's options, bar Yaya who is better more advanced anyway and he's probably just a good enough passer to play at Chelsea if Lamps moves on and add more mobility and explosiveness next to Mikel

He isn't that bad at attacking either, probably Ramires-esque

more like the stamina of Ramires and the brains of Seydou ...

also: better clubs than PSG? what?

and the first club mentioned with that hypothetical is Arsenal?! I ask you ... I mean, he would earn less, and he would win less ... no offence to their fans, and I admit stranger things have happened, but trading Paris for that just doesn't make sense ...


EDIT: that said, I wish Arsenal all the best ... I had hoped, after this month, you would be the only surviving English (and British) team left in Europe this season ...

To be fair, the French League is not a good league. PSG is kind of like Shakhtar. Yeah you'll make tons of money and win, but... are you really at the highest level?
