You go through all that trouble and can't even list a single parisan player.
And in your entire list you actually miss out on The player who were actually signed as kids like clichy, aliadiere, traore.
Just waffling as usual. Go back to speculating about which home grown player you can bid for 50 million. I don't see Sterling looking to eager to go to the bad side of Manchester.
Why aren't city bidding for the Everton kid Barkley? They have wanted him for a while anyway. I reckon that's the player they will get.

City are never a bigger pond than Arsenal, your a small club with a rich owner end of.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep dreaming, meanwhile City will keep growing , keep competing for, and winning PL trophies. At least for a while. Sport is cyclic so it will not last forever, anymore than your dominance in the 30's(before which you were a small club with a rich owner do not forget) did, or your more recent 'Invincibles' era, during which you had a truly great team, both in terms of results and to watch. However, at present, City are a bigger pond than Arsenal, better chance of competing for the PL which is what counts. Neither of us has a cat in hells chance of the CL, the cyclic nature of sport means that English teams will come again, but not for a while, sadly.
So, you are catergorically denying that any of the players I mentioned have either lived, worked or even visited Paris?

Firstly of the entire list you have patched together only anelka was signed as a kid.
Secondly none of the players are Parisians.
Thirdly do I have to answer the question about them ever visiting Paris because that's rather obvious and besides the point unless you are an idiot.
Where exactly did I state that Arsene only signed Frenchmen that were born in Paris?
None of them were taken from the back streets of Paris, I think is the point.
OK, they were all discovered in upmarket cafés on the Champs-Elyses.
I think they were discovered playing for a variety of football clubs. Most not in Paris. Some not even in France.
About time for Arsenal to sell Walcott to Citeeh for £50 odd millions
And hopefully, UEFA throw them out of Europe altogether for falining to obey FFP rules
Boris, has yaya left your club yet?
Bomdia
Club history, fan base you can't touch us. I wouldn't even say your that much of an attraction now, you finished a few puts in front of us and miles behind Chelsea. Trophy less.

I think we should walk away from the Sterling thing, he wants bigger and better things but the club are not playing ball and if they don't have to sell they won't.I think it will backfire on them.
Wilshire is different, he is a relatively big fish in the club he supports, and while they will never win anything except cups there is something to be admired in that. He won't come to be a small fish in a bigger pond. He could learn a lot from Yaya if Yaya is prepared to put the effort in. That is a big 'if' and it also depends on Wilshire not spending 6 months a year in the treatment room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yaya wants to go to PSG, Pogba is being courted by madrid and barca so you're out of luck there.
Still i suppose Jack could learn from Poornando and Poornandinho???

We finished stronger and we will be stronger again next year, City are currently a big pond and you shouldn't try to deny it. For whatever reason, Arsenal are not likely to be title challengers anytime soon, but you are dead right, we finished trophy less so I would say your season was better than ours. That doesn't change the fact that you weren't even close to a title challenge whereas we almost gave it a go so players will see us as a better bet if they want a PL winners medal. We have won 2 in the last 4 after all and will strengthen significantly. I think you will keep Wilshire, but as I said, if he was able to stay fit, and Yaya stay motivated, then Wilshire would grow more at City than Arsenal. They would need a lot of stars to align for that though.
History is very nice to look up in a book, but all it really proves is that Arsenal had access to external money before City did. City are a force, and will remain so for a few years before falling back into the pack, as everyone else has done.

Nice try but one of those is actually very good, scored a great goal in our 6 - 3 rout of some outfit a couple of seasons ago. Granted the other isn't up to much sadly, really no idea what we saw there.
I wouldn't class city as a big pond by any stretch of the imagination hence why your enquiries for pogba have been ignored.
Although circumstances differ with regards to player preferences but you are well behind Chelsea and arsenal in the pecking order for players preferred destination. Probably on par with United.
Good players want to play with other good players. Your top players other than aguero are getting on. You will need to replace that generation quickly because with the new TV money other clubs will be able to compete with you in greens of paying good wages.
As you mentioned before all these things are cyclic in nature. Doubt any foreign player will necessarily pick city ahead of arsenal bases on chances to win the title otherwise Sterling wouldn't be interested in a move to us.
If you had a significantly better chance in the champions league then you would have a point but you aren't so I can't see what advantage you have over us.
Do you honestly think you can compete with us on wages? All that extra TV wonga will be going on directors bonuses as usual.

Are you saying you have inside knowledge of what is happening with Pogba? Nothing has been ignored, from City, or Barca, it just hasn't happened yet. He may well go elsewhere but it won't be Arsenal.
In terms of the attraction of the clubs, of course we will disagree (its a forum) , but ask yourself if you think a midfielder would rather play with Silva and Aguero or with Ozil and Giroud? Then tell me City aren't attractive.
I never said city aren't attractive, I just don't think you are significantly more attractive than arsenal. Yes you probably were 18 months ago Hence why sagna ran down his contract and joined you for the 150k packet but I don't necessarily sense things are quite the same now.
Hence now you actually make bids for our players with no real confidence of getting them at all.After all you did mention that these things are cyclic so if I look at the average age of your squad and the arsenal side I think you may struggle to even compete with arsenal if you don't replace your strong players with younger quality players.
We have 15 first team players less than 26, you have less than 8 including your development players who barely get a game.
You can blow us out with wages but that really depends on the player really. Try offering Sanchez 200k a week and let's see if he would leave arsenal.
Good luck with your bid for wilshere. Doubt Wenger will even bother responding.
Go for Barkley, I'm sure Everton will listen to offers around 35 million. If all fails there is always Townsend or Lenon
City aren't a bigger pond you idiot actually on the slide. An ageing spine an average manager who doesn't even know his own future and lots of cash, looks like another transitional period which will take a while for even the money to mend like the start.
You missed your chance of dominance with this current group and still scraped the titles you won
Shown up in Europe against sides that you should be competing with on paper we have a healthy young side 2 or 3 additions away from competing on all fronts you won more trophies last 2 years and haven't lost to you in 2 years ffs
Arsenal are bigger, more attractive and have a more promising short term future rhan you. Absolutely no chance we'll give you a helping hand by taking our best players.
Cheers for helping us pay the debt though, life has been sweeeeet ever since
We won more trophies in last 2 years *
