The basis of his argument is simply that Arsenal and Chelsea won't be this bad again, Liverpool are getting better and Spurs are a force now. Filth won't have such a weakened squad again so it's "now or Never"
Following on from the "who needs it most " thread....Is he right?
I think he's on dodgy ground re Liverpool as, by my reckoning, they're getting worse in the League - a situation only covered up by their Cup runs and they were very fortunate to beat us in the Carling Cup.
Arsenal and Chelsea are both faced with the prospect of spending a king's ransom to rebuild their two sides and Arsenal will have to tear up their salary cap as well, in order to attract top players. Don't know how such spending will affect their FFP prospects.
I'm still convinced Twitcher's lot will implode and collapse completely and they too need to do some serious spending on new players as they have a lot of older crocks in their (oversized) squad. Moreover, they aren't going to get 'gifts' such as Adebayor every year.
The Scum have been getting worse with each recent season (owners and debt situation), so I don't know how he can say they'll never be this weak again, especially as they still depend on Giggs and Scholes and Fergiescum won't last forever anyway.
All in all, Merson is trying to be profound and is letting his hatred of City get into the way of reason :- if all the other Clubs highlighted by him need to spend big, we're better placed than most to outspend them all and he's not thinking things through to their logical outcome.
