Couldn’t agree more about ‘arry. Great as a personality in Football but has a pretty patchy history. Known as a wheeler dealer but helped to pretty much bankrupt Portsmouth with the deals he put in place and was responsible for putting people like Samba on £100k a week in a relegation threatened team. With the new influx this is now definitely more AVB’s teams than Harry’s, we’ll see if it’s better and if so how much better.

Daniel Levy: the smartest man in football

Arsenal haven’t won a trophy for 8 years and the manager has publically stated that coming 4th is like a trophy. AVB at Spurs came out saying he wanted to win the league in his first season and he now has a much stronger squad without their best player. He has taken some risk but it could work wonders for them this year. Arsene hasn’t been aggressive in the transfer market for a number of years and he’s relied too heavily on youth. Now he has the money but not the strategy. Next few days will be interesting!

Arsene could certainly learn a few things from Mr Levy. After all he sold their best player (Van Persie) to their biggest rivals without replacing him last year. Part of the reason the situation is getting so desperate at the Emirates is because the fans are seeing what great business has been done by their nearest rivals, their rivals that can’t even offer Champions League football! Arsenal would love to have the talents of a Willian, Soldado or Lamela. Instead they will pay over the odds for who knows who. Latest names are Benzema and Di Maria,I can’t see Real letting both Benzema and Higuain leave in one summer though and Arsenal really need to focus on a striker and not another winger.
