Jon 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Anyway I'd much rather prefer supporting a team who doens't need to buy the best players in the world to win things. Yeah, like we all complained in thge 90's when thats exactly what we did. Maybe not the best in the world but the best in the SPL by far. Arsenal in Wenger have one thing Fergie an Jose dont IMO, he buys cheap and makes the players into world class. But they do spend all the same. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 In the last 4 years he's won a CL, a Uefa Cup, and got to the quarters (Beaten by Arsenal) then the last 16 (Beaten by Barca) of the CL. Just going by memory. I might be wrong there. You are wrong! He won the UEFA Cup, CL, beaten by Liverpool in the semis and beaten by Barca in the last 16. He did exceptionally well with Porto but in Europe with Chelsea he's done no better than average. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: AHHHHHHH, it was under Ranieri and they won! I was close. Kinda 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Care to post Wengers record Gav? I've been on google trying to find it but no joy so far. Seriously Jon, are you saying that Wenger has spent more than Mourinho? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea played and beat Arsenal in the CL quarters 3 seasons back when Ranieri was manager. Man, I hate being a fountain of knowledge! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Nop, Im saying that Arsenal have spent too. You put everything down to Chelseas spending power and are too blinkered to aknowledge that the manager has a part to play. Of course Chelsea have spent more. I wonder how that fathoms out over the last 15 years in the EPL though? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gersfem 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 No shit Sherlock! Getting to the final is a pretty decent achievement though especially when it was with a team full of young players (Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Reyes, RvP, Flamini, Fabregas) Did all these players come free? Jose is a superb manager with no money but not so good with abramovich,s bilions 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
