CIES figures come out every year and most years they're posted on here. Do your own research. Meanwhile you're just guessing.Show me accurate figures comparing our squad cost over the last 8 years (from 2012 to 2020) with Liverpool’s and Sp**s, and if they prove you to be right then I will agree with you.
Liverpool’s net spend has to be lower than ours.
What is it about fans who won’t admit that we spent so much money in the last 8 years, but we spent it poorly?
That's not net spentCIES figures come out every year and most years they're posted on here. Do your own research. Meanwhile you're just guessing.
Here's 2019/20 to start you off
Liverpool €639
Arsenal €498

I know it's a "great stadium" and financially helped us out greatly, but I would do anything to have stayed at Highbury.
I just miss the history and aura that stadium had, The Emirates will never match that...really feels so fake in comparison.
I know we probably had to do it, but I still hate it, what we have given up by sacrificing it wasn't worth it for me...and I know some of the "better" posters om here like @Sapient Hawk agree with me.
I am so glad I got to watch us play there, something I will always be grateful for that...but it really should still be our home.
Our famous old ground, where legends were forever etched into the club's bedrock, now sits as a glorified edifice to one of society's greatest ills, Gentrification.
We never should've left.
I'd reiterate it 10 times a day if I could but once every week will suffice.
Lee Judges said it best when he made his first AFTV appearance back in 2016 after Swansea beat us at home & put to bed yet another title charge.
"We sold our soul moving here from Highbury."
Emirates is a party nowadays to be fair. I wouldn't let our minor bit of bad form take away from the strides the club has made in this area.
It takes a lifetime for a stadium to be what it is anyways.
Which is why the Emirates is just that, a stadium.
Highbury was the architectural manifestation of Arsenal. Elegant, sleek yet durable enough to stand the test of time.

****ing great.
Will take until I am dead for me to enjoy The Emirates
