You had a good team 2018/22 and finished second a lot. Congratulations
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers. To add number six was great. Maybe you’ll get to experience that one day.

If nothing else all those finals brought in oodles of prize money.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the point of all that money when players like caicedo are rejecting your current team for mid table Chelsea?! Hahaha

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep and we're definitely missing Caicedo.

My god, I knew the AFTV bunch were dense but didn't realise all Arsenal fans were as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that why all of you were crying your eyes out all summer?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stop making stuff up.

Well it’s helped us double our wage bill and keep players like Salah by giving him £300k a week. Like having a top 3 elite manager by paying him a top 3 elite wage. It’s also allowed us to increase the capacity of the stadium by thousands and redevelop our training facilities and that’s before being able to build a world class squad.

This means we can bring on players like Jota and Nunez and Arsenal have to bring on Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketia which is why we consistently challenge for the biggest prizes and Arsenal haven’t in well over a decade.

Stupid discussion. Both world class players.

Liverpool fans will judge VVD by what he has done for them historically. Arsenal fans will base their opinions of Saliba on how good he might be in the future. Nobody will agree who is better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spot on

Liverpool fans will rate VVD better Arsenal fans saliba

Both top class defenders

As a neutral if I was asked who I’d prefer now ….Saliba

Every time I watch him it looks effortless for him….reminds me of Rio a bit

Try again. Your sensationalism is better suited to AFTV 👍

Tbf he’s not wrong. There were numerous posts of you whinging about spend and signing better players and how we should emulate Chelsea.

Happg to hold my hands up Nobbing. I know you find it hard to admit you've made mistakes but it's okay. You'll get there one day

Also, let's not pretend that, although he's made a pigs ear of transfers, Boehly has shown a hell of a lot more ambition in the transfer market than FSG ever have

posted on 22/1/24

Yep, you’ve ended up looking a complete beIlend yet again but fair play to you, you keep coming back for more.

If Chelsea’s ambition is hiring a band average coach and dozens of average players they’re welcome to it.

posted on 22/1/24

Sigh. Read the first part of the sentence again and then we'll try again.

You can't deny he's provided more money for transfers than FSG have or ever will do. Yes it's been poorly spent but the ambition is plain to see.

I prefer our approach.

One is famous for winning every trophy with his team and the other is famous for getting banned for filming a team mate having a w*nk 😂

Seriously though, camera man skills aside, Saliba is an exceptional player. Def has the making of one of the best in his position.

This season VVD is smashing him in most defensive key areas according to Opta though. Problem I think is people are always a bit biased when you are chosing between players, and assuming what one could do based on ability, and what ones actually done.

VVD had had a noticeable dip in form for the first time when he had a very bad injury. This season he's looked immense. Most rival fans don't watch Liverpool so just prefer to ignore that and assume he is still on a downward spiral at the end of his career. He's in insane form.

Saliba hasn't made the same impact to Arsenal VVD has but he does have Arteta as a manager 😂
Saliba is also a different type of defender that suits a different style but the kids still top class. Hard part will be Arsenal keeping in him in his prime years like Liverpool have with VVD.

Ambition is trying to get Pep, Klopp or Anchelotti not Potter and Poch. This guy

I'm delighted that our midfield rebuild has gone this well. This summer is going to be as important, though. Long term successor to Mo and Virg has to be the priority along with DM and back up RB if Conor goes out on loan.

Try one more time, Nobbing. We'll get there. I know you struggle with simple concepts like the basic arithmetic in my username. Maybe try some online tutoring?

posted on 22/1/24

I get what you’re saying. You’re directly equating money spend on transfers as the key sign of ambition and that’s because you’re a clueless plastic.

I admire your resilience. You stuck with a problem until you could find a solution. Bravo.

Only issue is... you're wrong on a few counts. I'll leave you to continue working on it though until you get there. Don't stay up too late though. School in the morning 👍

As if you've spent over 20mins coming up with a reply and that's all you could come up with 😭. Seriously, online tutoring might just be what you need. 👍

Yeah you used that one bud and it wasn’t funny then.

What was it you said the other day? Words to the effect of ‘It doesn’t get any better than watching sandy and strike team meltdown on here’



You fvcking loser.

To be fair, watching you have a meltdown right now is just as funny 😊

Saliba as excellent young centre back and has ten plus years in him.

On just ability then VVD obviously.

posted on 22/1/24

No doubt Van Dijk has been a very good player for Liverpool and his record speaks for it's self but in terms pure ability Saliba is 22 and he's already playing for a top club and is one of the first names on the team sheet that's something Van Dijk obviously wasn't able to do at the same age. Players will develop differently over time and only time will tell who will be considered the better player. That being said I'm bias so I will obviously go with Saliba.

posted on 24/1/24

O.P Saliba all day. Watching his performances so far I just wish he could have been happy playing at Arsenal straight away. He looks to me to be almost every bit as good as VVD already and still has his whole career ahead of him. But then I do see him as some freak of nature for his age, years ahead of said age. A player with all the goods to (with good luck and career choices) become one of the best there's ever been in the position. The boy is freakishly aware for his age and outstanding as a result.
