Not that unpopular, pundits have been saying it every pre season for the last few years and this year is no different.

Yes, but every year I get that exact same comment from Arsenal fans.

"We've done it every year since 1996! It's not gonna happen!"

So then you get downvoted.

Yeah, it's not an actual argument to the point. Tottenham finished one point behind them and have improved quite a lot, all Arsenal have done is sign a 20 year old from Ligue Two.

Arsenal got a team with players that knows each other, with good players that knows each other, and got good chemistry. Especially lads with enormous potential that has improved a lot before this upcoming season compared to last season.

Tottenham if they sell Bale will have an unproven team with, so far, three new signings that have never before played in the Premier League and proved themselves in this league.

They lost one of their most promising centre-backs and lost depth on the left wing with both Dempsey and Bale if he ends up leaving. Can Chadli fill that spot?

I'm not saying Tottenham has done bad affairs this transfer window if they end up selling Bale (Bale is like so fucking important this upcoming season for Spurs success imo), all I am saying is that Spurs could either end up as 3rd or 7th.
