O/T: Football information website

[totalise]

Myself and friend are having this argument about a couple of things:

he thinks that Arsenal Got Henry for less then a mill. I am 99% sure they didn't. We have a bet riding bet on the result

he thinks that Wenger has spent (as a net figure) no more then 10m since he joined arsenal. I think he has spent a lot more. We have a bet riding on the result

Does anyone know of a good website that gives you all this crap and more, not just for these specific two questions, but for all fussball trivia like this? I searched google and typed in stuff like "how much did Henry cost" and got told about some episode of The Monkeys. I would be interested in knowing each managers P/L etc, in case we get arguing about how much Fergie has spent, and then I can sneakily suggest a slightly larger bet, confident of the outcome.


Any help will most certainly be appreciated

Thanks

Henry was bought for about 7.5m I believe

Henry cost £10.5 million from Juventus

Has he been on the moon or something?

Wiltord, Henry and Reyes all cost more than £10million

rite, but he sold Anelka for something like 25M after buying him for peanuts, offloaded Overmars and that bag of waste Petit for bout 25M as well, and various other deals of that ilk... so he thinks that Expenditure minus Income on player transfers is less then 10M

until he bought the 3 players in the transfer window this january, wenger had a net loss of £9m

henry did cost £10.5m

Do you think that Wenger is the greatest top English division manager of all time?

no, the correct answer is clearly Christian Gross. He was amazing

i think that is a matter of people's opinions.

to go through a 38 game season unbeaten is a record that may never be matched. so as far as a league season goes then yes.

man utd won a fantastic treble which has never been and maybe never will be repeated.

liverpool have had some great managers winning many league titles and european cups.

i certianly think wenger is our best ever manager by quite some distance. the way we have been able to compete spending as little as we have and the way he finds players and turns them into world class players is fantastic.

henry was going nowhere at juve veiria the same at AC. petit was an unknown, anelka was just a kid kolo toure is one of the best centre backs in the prem. the list goes on but it has happened at other clubs with other managers.

to say that someone is the best ever when there are so many great managers is too hard and will always cause great debate amongst fans.

the way wenger has taken us forward on a limited budget compared to man utd and chelsea and even clubs like leeds, liverpool and tottenham and the way he has us playing football, which is the most entertaining in the country i would not swap him for anybody else and it will be a sad day and a backward step when he leaves arsenal.

is wenger the best manager of all time??? i dont know but i know he is one of them

IMO Wenger is the ETD greatest manager of all time. Out of all the managers there have been in Englands Top Division, I would want Wenger managing my team.

WOW, for a spurs fan to say that i think it just goes to show the respect that wenger has in the game.

i think the problem with the question is that most fans are very bias and think that their manger is the best. i expect every man utd fan to say that fergie is the best and so on.

very honest Nem.

I dont think he is the best manager of all time, he has under-achieved imo considering the players he had at his disposal. I certainly think he would be the best "director of football" if there was such an accolade, but I have to think that the best manager is Fergie. He seems to get the absolute best out of very average players (butt/Nevilles to name but two)

Fergie is definately nowhere near as good as Wenger in the transfer market, but I dont know if that should be the best requisite of a manager. Maybe fergie is the best coach/motivator of all time, i dont really know.

I would certainly want Wenger in charge of buying and selling players, but in my dream world, I would still want Fergie tellin em what to do

REALLY??

Wenger has turned rejects into world stars and developed great young players like Cole, Senderos, Fabregas, Toure, Clichy, Henry, Ljunberg etc... Wenger has brought so many players on the cheap and if he sold them on he would be in huge profit, where as Fergie is just the manager of Monopoly United(£££). Wenger in 10 years has taken Arsenal from being the same size as Spurs to one of the biggest clubs in the world. The new stadium is all down to him, the training ground is all down to him. The guy is simply different class, a one off, a legend.

How many players has Fergie bought and then been able to sell the same player for a profit? Ronaldo is the only one I can think of, and thats in 20 years LOL
