re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

Probably not, but the pursuit itself is pleasing. We've restricted ourselves, because of the debts, and the incessant attention by the media placed on our trophyless run, to building up also-rans, hidden gems, and youth. While Suarez and Rooney are great players, they just don't feel right for the big bid if that makes any sense. It doesn't feel like they are coming here. The fact of the matter is that we need to spend big, not out of necessity per se, but to make a statement of intent that we are ready to compete financially in the 21st century.
