Do you think you'll be happy supporting the club for your whole life knowing it may well stay that way? I.e. wholly owned by a non-caring, tight-fisted American. What if he completely ruins the club?DiamondGooner wrote:gooney wrote:We are ranked 6th richest tem in the world. Yet we cant afford to buy a player lol
Its not what we can afford, its what Kroenke approves for us to spend.
We are his asset now, he owns us outright, if he doesn't want to spend ........... we don't spend.

Arsenal will finalise the signing of Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez, 25, next week with the clubs set to settle on a loan deal with a permanent option. (Mundo Deportivo - in Spanish)

He's not been good enough to play top level football for Barcelona, who play teams far weaker than he would face in the EPL, that said Barca do have a far better squad than we do ... he's been back on their books for the last three years, 46 games 3 goals mostly in Cups and mostly as a substitute, only made 4 La Liga starts in the last 18 months. This season he's played just 17 minutes in La Liga (two late subs) and 24 minutes in the CL (again two late subs)
At 25 and with 5 years experience in La Liga he must have potential, if we do sign him having hardly played at all for weeks there's little chance that he's match fit. The biggest concern is that he's famed as a terrible finisher, and many Barca fans call him ligero ... which translates to lightweight ... do we honestly need another one of those?
He has the ability, so far that's never quite turned into performance, to join us would be probably his last big chance at a top club. So at least he should arrive fully motivated.
