Wenger's Arsenal transfer dealings are just as diabolical as the two Milan clubs

Can you prove all this?

Haha laughably bad article! Get back to writing about your bottom half club, Tottenham boy!

arsenal broke no rules whatesoever in aquiring cesc and merida, they acted entirely within their rights. what a poor article

Why do people think Wenger is GREAT or Idolize him??? Wenger has yet to R E T A I N the title, Wenger has yet to W I N the UEFA CUP. Arsenal will be always a near team. GET RID OF WENGER. Flamini has left, simply MILAN are showing AMBITION. ONLY A FOOL WOULD BLAME FLAMINI, HE DID HONOR HIS CONTRACT.

so what if the spanish clubs have to wait till the players turn 18 to snap them up, and we only have to wait until they are 16 is that our fault? we dont make the rules, we jus follow them unlike milan who have to match fix to pick up points

oh.. it's all karma then, what have Spurs done last century to deserve their current mediocrity

what a poor article do us all a favor and stop writing

Ok your anti Arsenal, and dont like Wenger. I just not reading another punchy headline with not subtstance from sportingo.

This is just typical anit-arsenal media. Let me guess you support Spuds right? This is a second rate blog with no basis or factual evidence to support it. This whole site is a joke. I think before you start to write about football you should learn a bit about it.

HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, definitely, I mean Wenger and the team are promising that they'll do better next time...and they have the opportunity. Milan isn't even in next years UEFA!

What a load of crap. Clearly, the author of this piece dug quite deep, and was unable to unearth any substance. If the only sculdugery he/she/it has managed to find is the recruitment of youth players who at the time of were insignificant to Arsenal's then form; players acquired within the rules of football, maybe as a result of the same rule putting Barcelona at a disadvantage.

"The Frenchman’s hatred of losing often tempts him into rash statements – like accusing Ruud van Nistelrooy of being a cheat" - so he wasn't/isn't a cheat then ??? Yes, he is. Last year was supposed to be a crisis after Henry left... didn't quite turn out like that did it ? This year - AGAIN - is a crisis. It won't be. Trust me. Arsene knows.

So your entire basis for Arsenal not being hard done by is whatever happened over EIGHTY YEARS AGO!!! and the signing of a couple of talented kids in which we did nothing outside of the rulebook. Typical anti-arsenal twaddle from an ignorant nobody who unfortunately gets web space with this tripe.

Van Nistelroy is a cheat He was the biggest cheat in the league when he played. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. Great player nonetheless

This article is awful...

Talk about writing an article for the sake of it!!! Laughably terrible article. Doesnt make much sense. How does what happened 75 years ago relate now. Mr. Writer, plz complete ur high school b4 writing agn.

..this is so very badly written.

I take your point about Norris, but that was almost 100 years ago so.... Fabregas and Merida are arguable, but the likelyhood of them playing for Barca was so small they made a decision for themselves. Inter and AC are old Italian heaveyweights, corruption is in their blood, I don't see how you can compare match-fixing and mafia links with some guy 100 years ago + two youngsters out of a academy of 100.

Another mind numbingly, poorly thought out piece on Sportingo. Along with someone calling himself Mortimer, Mr Farr shows us how the barrel scrapers have flocked to this site. It must be that word Journalism, that attracts them so.

No-one, least of all Wenger, is accusing AC of anything. Inter? Different kettle of fish - blatant tapping up. Your article is a grubby little attempt to get page hits and in that sense it's been successful. By any standard of Journalism, it is poor. You need to read up on Norris. You've (intentionally?) misunderstood the facts. Poor effort 2/10.

The spanish clubs may have to wait until players are 18 until they can sign professional terms. However, they also have a much softer work permit system allowing them to get players like messi, dos santos etc before they become full internationals. As for your claims, ridiculous! boardering on slander based on nothing. Milan, Inter, Juve and Palermo have all got big links to the big italian families. and you compare that to Henry norris 90-100 years ago? I'd of thought your best bet would be to mention george grahams shenanigans. But then that was nothing to do with the club and so he soon got his marching orders. Still, Spuds thought this was right up their street and soon signed him up to save them from relegation.

So what if Barca/Real have a problem with teams taking their 16yos. Why don't they complain to the Spanish FA/government they made the rule not Arsenal. Though Im not sure that the teams have 'tapped' players up. Yeah sometimes articles are released in papers and on websites: but thats just the shoddy journalists using sensationalism to sell
