My mate is an Arsenal fan and when I saw the new financial fair play rules that are coming out, I thought that Arsenal were going to benefit from this and be Englands top team for a long period of time.... I cant believe that its looking more and more likely that you are going to lose your two best players. Fabregas is a 95% cert to go and Nasri is about 80% probably 100% if Cesc goes (which he will). You do realise if you lose these two as well as Clichy, you are going to seriously struggle for fourth. You cant just buy Gervinho and Gary Cahill and expect that everything will be ok. Man City have spent a net of around 100 million a season for 3 years to just about claim fourth... so realistically speaking you are in deep deep trouble if you lose these two players.They are the difference with you being title contenders and top four challengers, they score goals to win games and the countless assists and the way these players make your team tick is invaluable.
The reason Van Persie gets so many goals is because of setup play from these two players. This isn't a wind up... its just to say that you can spend 100 million on new players to replace them and they wont fill the gap. Also with Clichy going, there isn't really a left back out there who you can get to do his job, they are at a huge premium. You definately wont get Baines. Gibbs is a crock. Looks like you will need to start from scratch and I hate to say it to you, but I would say without Fabregas, Nasri and Clichy you are worse than Spurs.
Who do you think you can sign with the money that can replace them?

They are looking at Samba and joey Barton though,perhaps a bid for Titus Bramble to follow and they will be scrapping for the title again surely

Evetorial - We actually finished 3rd, however, we were joint level on points with Chelsea, and they finished 2nd. Arsenal will be just fine even if Cesc and Nasri go.Wenger is a great manager and they will finish top 4.
