That's net spend. The actual amount they spent is a little above other big teams. They are successful because they are well managed.

They might be well managed. How is a billion pounds not a factor??

Ash · **#448442**

Nelson and Willock starting.

bubblechris · **#448443**

Strange starting line up. Exremely strong bench. Youngsters starting including Chambers at CH.

If we get overrun at the beginning the teams confidence will take a kicking imo.

I wish he'd started with some of the players on the bench......

1Leno
15Maitland-Niles
21Chambers
5Papastathopoulos
18Monreal
29Guendouzi
34Xhaka
7Mkhitaryan
28Willock
24Nelson
14Aubameyang

Substitutes
8Ceballos
9Lacazette
11Torreira
19Pépé
23David Luiz
26Martínez
35Martinelli Silva

Atknson the ref, enough said, I'm worried.

So they could afford to recoup 400m quid less than any other club in that period?

Seems that net spend is the best indicator of extravagance/financial doping.

That time of year again... Mustafi and Xhaka still here? Sixth place here we come!!

Oh. It looks like last season’s side. Not what I was expecting.

Hi ltg,

It is what I was expecting for reasons mainly to do with the lack of time the new signings have had to integrate and also some players are only back in training fairly recently after summer tournaments.

It does not look a side that inspires confidence, however the bench is strong.

Let's hope that Willock and Nelson can give us a lift.

Not sure what you mean, Gun, "net" is the actual amount they have spent.

I find it very sad that a team like West Ham, who will probably finish in the top half of the table, cannot give Man City a game at home.

Money has affected football so much, I mean City are really no more than a mid to lower PL club but to use a Wenger expression they have been financially doped to make them worldbeaters.

Not sure what the answer is. Pundits are saying that other teams have to find a way to plug the gap but realistically they've spent £120m on two players this summer, one of whom is a fullback.

Dead right Soc ....... was just thinking along similar lines . No football for a few months , we've bought well so there is a bit anticipation in the air

...and then these clowns with unlimited $$$$$$$$ stroll out and put an ice cold shower on proceedings

Pundits will be wetting their pants over their style , flair etc etc gushing " how many trophies will they win this year " ...... NO -ONE mentions or thinks to address the unfairness of the whole situation .

Blimey, has the football season started already?

Strange lineup.

gooner7 · **#448452**

Good chance for Nelson and Willock to show their mettle

gooner7 · **#448453**

Am I bias, or did Mkhitaryan made at least 2 poorly weighted passes already?

bubblechris · **#448454**

Good spot by Atkinson............

Gunfire · **#448455**

Our away jersey is *%^@.

Lutongooner · **#448456**

We need a new manager.

bubblechris · **#448457**

Mkhi not impressing today..............

TOP GUN · **#448458**

*%^@*** mhikitaryan

He’s so useless

That was a good pass from Mkhitaryan

Why so optimistic? :42laughter:

The more Mustafi plays the lower we may end up on the table.

AmericanGooner · **#448464**

The size of some of those Toon players!

gooner7 · **#448465**

Monreal should have cut right and shoot

TOP GUN · **#448466**

Monreal no longer has any legs,

Xhaka is the most frustrating player. Our best players have been the youngsters

TOP GUN · **#448467**

Poxy training game being played like it’s a friendly

gooner7 · **#448468**

Boring first half

Chambers has been decent I thought. Mkhitaryan both the standout worst player and closest to providing an assist.

socrates · **#448470**

Not much to shout about.

Willock and Nelson probably the pick of an average bunch.

Overall Mkhitaryan was poor in the first half.

Guendozi runs all over for the team. Defensively effective. Forward play weak.

bubblechris · **#448473**

Could have been worse. Pépé on for Mkhi and Luiz for Xhaka to tighten up defence and we're on our way.

Other than those 2 changes I think we have been good.

So far Xhaka and Guendozi have been poor. Not driving forward and tons of sideways passes

bubblechris · **#448475**

Aubaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

gooner7 · **#448476**

Aubameyang !!!!!

long time gooner · **#448477**

Out of nowhere. Pure class.

bubblechris · **#448478**

Brilliant assist. Who was it?

gooner7 · **#448479**

Very good play and assist from AMN
