Although they could outbid us on anyone, they only have so much room in their squad and I reckon they are getting close to not having any more room to accomodate top players.
I think thats spot on. I still think Arsenal are by far the best footballing side in the Prem, but I dont think that will win the Prem any more. Arsenal are the Real Madrid of La Liga of the last four years.
I said about three months ago the only way Arsenal or the Mancs would catch Chelski would be by buying a new Keane or Vieira. Players like that only become available every 5 years or so. This summer two came up - Essien and Ballack. The Chavs moved in and snapped up Essien , even though they have Makelele. Essien played Saturday and was MoM.
