But Chelski also seemingly have an unlimited budget, so they both can't win it.
And if Liverpool also come up with arab owners then they could also be in the same position.
What of Arsenal and the russian Billionaire?
What of Tottenham and the Caribbean billionaire?
The list of what if's is endless lads.

Chelsea i believe have done their major spending mark, they will probably buy in one big name this close season and thats all.
Its all if,s about liverpool..............you gooners dont have much dosh.
We will spend a little money but we have our limits......................man city dont.

lew u seem fixed on this money thing. yids have spent millions and got no where, the one season they didn spend too much, they finished 4th. no one has answered my qiestion with who man city will attract, because i cant see anyone going to a side in the eurpoa league. and what makes u say arsenal aint got no dosh, just because we dont throw it around like confetti dont mean we aint got it. arshavin,vermuelen,nasri,ramsey theres 30 million we have spent in the last 2 seasons. i am very confused and surprised by anyone thinking money is a guaranteed recipe for success, its that thinking thats killing our game.

lee i am also very happy that vis and especially baz have nipped it in the bud, obviously the constant mug callin wernt getting the bites leggy was looking for so he upped the ante and started callin more lets say out of order names, nonce is a terrible thing to call anyone, especially unprovoked, but this is the type of guy leggy is, you guys can blame it on being spurs to the bone i just think he is a horrible person, the other week he was hoping my plane crashed with my wife and kids on it, but this was laughed off as leggy being SPURS TO THE BONE, im not saying no more on the subject but i wish people would stop making excuses for someone who has been trying his hardest to ruin this board, i speak to bill stroller all the time and have invited him many times on to this board, i will let u workout why he dont bother.

Burger!!!!!!! I must say in all honesty, and i should be speaking for everyone !!!!!!!!!! nobody would wish that on anybody!!!!! and there is no excuse that could be raised that would go anywhere near excusing that !!!!!!! I have not seen that myself, and I very much hope you are mistaken !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is a truly nasty comment, I would never use someone's family like that, I do hope that the MODS on here did pick that up!!!!!!!! and maybe that's why Leggy has been given a bit of stick lately for his comments!!!!!

I am and from, every spurs supporter on this board, I hope!!!! very sorry for those very inappropriate comments directed to you and your wife & children, very sorry Burger!!!!

Who will city attract ? no one has answered because its obvious all deals will be done after the world cup, and then you will see city buy up anything thats moves that can kick a ball in the right direction.
Money doesnt guarantee success, of cause it doesnt but its the intent burg ! and one little factor is the outrageous wages they can offer a player, i think harry was going for gareth barry last summer but we couldnt match what city offered in wages, same with bellamy, and i think they will still attract players even though they are in the europa league, its human nature burg ! if spurs offered you 50,000 per week and cl football, but city offered you 100,000 per week where would you go,..? bearing in mind that its exciting times up at eastlands at the moment, they are building a side and the owners have made it plain they want the prem title and cl footie.

Interesting thread this one guys and I think you both put some good points across here.
Ordinarily I'd go along with Burger's slant on this one, purely because there have been teams out there who can offer both CL AND the obscene wages. Teams like Real Madrid, Barca, ManU and Chelsea. Well now I think that Real and Barca may well 'tighten the belt' as Spain, like much of Europe, is in dire straits financially. My parents live near Valencia, whilst my Nephew lives in Barcelona, and those are the noises I'm hearing from them.

If such is the case the Real in particular may find it hard to come by the readies as I can't see the Government being able to justify handing out millions with the country on the verge of bankruptcy.

You never know with the Spanish though, prideful people who may not want to let that kind of kudos go.

Then there's ManU. Up to their necks in debt and only paying back the interest on the 800 million? Chelsea may well be OK but I believe Roman has snapped his purse shut. He may well open it again to keep Chelsea up there but, then again, he may well decide that the Honeymoon is over.

This then leaves Citeh. They may not be in the CL right now but I'm sure a hefty pay packet and the right sales pitch would be sufficient to lure some of the best quality footballers to Eastlands.

Bearing all that in mind, I'm inclined to agree with Lew here. If these players manage to input a get out clause that states Citeh must achieve CL qualification in 2 seasons or they can get on their toes, how many do you really think would say no?

I wouldn't like to put money on it.

I can see where burger is coming from ion when he says who will city attract without cl football, but i still say its the potential of a player (being part of something massive ) with unlimited funds that will attract them there and of course the big wages,let alone players like tevez, barry,bellamy, given etc etc, they already have the base set to launch an assault on the top four, and they will buy big this summer without doubt .

Sadly its bad news for harry and us spurs fans because they seem to go for players we have been after but cant match the wages, so if burg is right this really shouldnt be the case when we have cl to look forward to.

One bonus though ! we play them first match of the new season and they wont get it right first time out, they will have to gel if they are going to change players radically......so we could have 3 points from that game, later on in the season and they might be a force to reckon with.

i see your point too lew, i was saying the same about chelsea and i was proved wrong, i think mourinho was the gem there tho, and dont see mancini is the same league, we could argue this one till the cows come home, lets just wait and see, i m sure we remind each other nearer the time.

Well guys if what is copy & pasted below this is how Citeh will attract players ! If the article is correct it certainley gives Lews ideas total creedence. My point of view is that of Lew's. Money talks. Tempt a player in with huge wages and the chance of Chumps League within a season or 2 and they will flock to Eastlands. Some players will probably look at a season out of it as a rest. Not sure they have the right manager but maybe Cappello will be there come August ? If not next season I feel that by 2011/12 season Citeh will be in a posistion to threaten most teams . . . . . . .

Manchester City are stepping up their efforts to sign Valencia striker David Silva, and are set to offer the Spaniard a cool £40m in wages over five years.
Full story: Daily Mirror

whoes david silva vis, i aint ever heard of him,

David Josué Jiménez Silva (born 8 January 1986 in Arguineguín, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Valencia CF and the Spanish national team.
Silva is capable of playing on either wing or as a traditional number 10, and sometimes as a supporting striker.

Hope this helps Burgs . . . . . . . .

yes it does, but i still aint heard of him, what has he won then. this is my point vis, second tier players, they dont frighten me, especially ones that have not played together, never played in the prem, the ones that aint used to our winter scedule, the ones that wont like full backs greeting them with a lets say rough tackle, it all reminds me of our own reyas, great player couldn handle the prem, veron was another, the best central mid player in the world at the time, he couldn hack it at chelsea or manu, thanks for giving me a name tho.

now vis my arrogance may have come thru as far as man cuty are concerned,obviously they will be a force in prem football i just dont think it will happen next season, if lew bet me do i think man city will overtake arsenal in the next 5 seasons i probably would have to concede that bet, i just cant see it happening next season thats all, i dont think at the monet they have the right calibre of player or manager,

Well thats why i thought about the bet before i took it on burg ! it might not be this coming season but what the fck ! its a fair bet and it goes to charity either way.
