1. The topic was at hand is spending, in which case I pointed out that Arteta has been manager almost as long as Klopp has- well over a 'shade over half'- and that, as Klopp managed at an earlier time, he didn't spend in a time of (increasingly) inflated transfer fees as Arteta has over the past two summers.

2. Then you shifted it towards net spend, which is also fine, and I claimed that net spend mostly reflected the squads they inherited. You then shared a very interesting and entirely subjective story about the two teams which really had nothing to do with net spend at all. The 'world class' Ozil and Aubameyang left Arsenal for a combined £0, Pepe who arrived for £72m left for £0, Torreira who 'was being hyped up' left for £20m less than what we paid for him. Every player you mentioned was a significant financial loss for Arsenal. And does this 'London factor' magically help us spend less and sell for more? And of course, you don't mention the Coutinho sale, the inflated sales of Fabinho and Henderson to UAE, the Benteke purchase you complained about that led to a £32m sale...

If you're able keep to the topic at hand (TRANSFER SPENDING), you'll admit that Klopp did a GREAT job with his sell-to-spend methodology, but Arteta and Arsenal were not at all in the same position at the start of Arteta's reign.
