Money can buy titles dude but u do feel bad for the clubs like everton and aston villa who are trying to reach the champions league and have very limited resources ...they will practically be out of the running ....and look at la liga because of the enormous spending of madrid and barcelona ..there was 25 point gap between them and the 3rd placed team i.e. valencia ...and thats not good for the sport...makes the league boring....plus manchester cities enormous spending is inflating the market making ppl ak enormous amounts of money for average players with all due respect to yaya toure i would really wonder if zidane was playing today how much would manc offer him ... a mill a week

but bro you cannot really call barcelona a big spender...... yes there has been a big signing or two every season but look at the no. of player coming from there academy player like messi, xavi, inesta, busquets, puyol, pedro, etc........even fabergas is the product of thier academy
i think these type of player can serve their club for longer time and they hardly cost you any money just as giggs and scholes have shown over so many years....even with all these signing man city can never think of beating barcolena, can they?......thats why i think that money can't buy titles it will only give short term sucess

Even the great spainsh world cup winning team doesnt have lionel messi.......god knows who are going to stop barcelona this year......i read today that mourinho denied the rumour of visiting kenyan jujumen.......if he had'nt visited one i wuld sugest him to visit them soon

So,you attribute success of Fabregas to the education that he got in Barca,if Arsene wouldn't had taken him to Highbury,he would have ended like Assulin(the next Messi),Bojan.And will you please enlighten me how Catalans are not big spenders.Ibra 58 million from Inter,Dmytro Chygrynskiy 25+ million from Shaktar,Dani Alves 30 million from Sevilla,Theiry Henry,Petit,Van Bronckhorst,Overmars from Arsenal.Catalans have done everything to match Madrid mainland.Do you still think they are not big spender.It's policy of club,if you have sugar daddy above you,you have the money you can spend as long as there is no money cap.After Russian revolution,Chelsea invested heavily on the squad revamp and now they are working on youth academy.
As far as youth academy is concerned,by your logic WHU,Ajax should have the best squad in the Europe considering the players they have produced.

Bang On!!!!

But what I do not understand that why fans are so afraid to admit their club has a sugar daddy..I mean Barca has been very successful in recent past so if that success comes with a price then wats the problem in admitting it..United was also in the same run till few years back but now it seems they dun have money to spend so they are out of this "money spenders" league....

Barca, City, Real, Chelsea all have big bank accounts but then u still need a team to win for ex Real and City have all money but no trophies but Chelsea and Barca have somethin to show to their bosses....

Ohh thank you for enlightening me,but these clubs get most of their revenue from Mafia,politicians and industrialists for main land Madrid and Catalunya.So,they have many sugar daddies backing them and it's just because of intense rivalry between Madrid and Catalans.And if you remember,Pique and Puyol were carrying Catalan flag after winning WC not the Spanish one.

Well you are counting Chelsea ahead of Real,I admit they have not won European glories in recent past but they have won 4 La Liga,3 Super Copa and 1 UCL in the last decade.They are the most successful club on the planet.And it's just matter of time they start winning things again.They have got the Special One to guide them through.Only one year of Galacticos and we are rushing to judgement. And Man City has also been spending big since couple of seasons,give them time they will start winning.

And during that period,Barcelona was going through barren patch.Isn't it?Deportivo,Valencia were at peak during that time.And Special one has won two CL with certainly not the best team team in Europe that time - Porto & Inter.No point in doubting his capability.And don't remind me last two CL that Barca won-Henrik Larson offside in Belleti's goal against gunners UCL 2006 and CL 2009,SF against Chelsea was marked by absolutely ridiculous referring.

The team that Barcelona have right now no team in the wrld has the ability to go to nou camp and take the game to them there ...and especially if you have a two goal lead from the first leg no one needs to ...he realised that no one was gonna remember it they played the most entertaining football and end up losing 4-0 at the end of the day winning the champions league was why he was hired and he delivered it....and madrid too though they have always wanted the best kinda football but jose has been hired not to have his team play attractive football rather win the champions league with real...real scored huge numbr of goals last time and almost a 100 points in the league but pellegrini was fired coz they wont no trophies.....mourinho has a clear mandate win win and win!

exactly.......personally i think there is only one man who can stop barca that is jose........but the biggest challenge for him would be to transform a traditionally attacking flair team into a well marshelled unit......because we have known real team to be great going foward but hopeless at the back.

The only 1 who can stop barca is barca themselves they are know to buy and nurture the best in the world ...and after a couple years of amazing success it all just explodes...the coach gets fired ...the stars are sold off disrespectfully....its the same story verytime ....latest case being Ronaldinho, Rijkaard , etoo etc...same things expected to happen again in a couple of years....real madrid are waiting in the wings to pounce

But i think this time they have great coach.......not many wuld have predicted so much from him wen he took over the reigns at barca....he has got some great players there and personally i think these player are going to be there for long time ....like messi is only 23, podro, 22 looked the best player in the semi final of wc

Arsenal win the Emirates Cup... 3 times in 4 years now...!! Almunia showed his class... and with a little bit of added confidence, i don't see any reason for him not being our no.1 this season as well... especially with that crazy 12.5m price tag over Federico Marchetti....!!
Go Gunners....!!
