You have my support.. Valencia is the only team I like in Spain because in some ways they are like Arsenal, punching above their financial weight while keeping the competition hot against rich clubs like RM and Barca.

Why sell their top striker for cash? Unless they are facing bankrupcy or having financial problems; or having received a ridiculous amount of cash with adequate backups available for purchase, it's unwise to sell Villa now.

Clubs don't have much of a say nowadays, it's all up to Villa.

If Villa wants to go, thats another story.The club will never put Villa on transfer list.

If Barca gets knocked out of the CL, the 2nd spot is up for grabs next year.

It's purely based on profits that we get from attendance, television revenues, merchandising and etc...

Imagine where the Magpies will be in the ranking if we have joined CL or UEFA Cup last season

that only show the earnings
if calculate the profit half of the football club listed at there won't be the same rank

In that case I think Chelsea would be rock bottom.

didnt valencia spend plenty of cash on overrated joaquin... maybe thats why valencia is not in the list

We manage to buy him because he agreed for a lower salary.
Our 1st option was simao, he is 5m cheaper than joaquin but his demand on salary is too high and before that we sold Aimar for 9m something.That explains how we got the money.

joaquin is one of the best winger around...

i think beckham is a fact for real madrid to remain the richest club...
coz woman's $$ is much more easy to earn.....

wahlao....arsenal so rich but never buy "star player"

"star player" not only can buy for it, sometime they can be created.....

One of the key aspects of a true Galactico is a big money transfer.

Arsenal buy their youth player.
Only few are englishmen.
Valencia made them. Vicente, Gavilan, Silva, Albiol, Pallardo, & Aaron Niguez.
We might have Alexis, Juan Mata or Raul Garcia next season.They are Spaniard even though they dont come from our youth team.
I think the only exeption is Butelle who is French u-21 goalkeeper.

Not if Real have anything to say about it

£192.7million

No Joke, ZOMFG!

Liverpool..next season can have money buy potential player...

Benitez and Gerrard bring Liverpool to success...

im hoping for arsenal to spend more cash for new signings..kinda miss the days when viera, bergkamp, and pires were around.
