But what if that big club stopped competing for trophies and was a relegation battler every season for the past 10 years? Would you still call it a big club?

For me Aston Villa, Leeds United, Napoli, Genoa and even Bologna and Spurs are big clubs why?! because they have been around for long and certainly won trophies when others were just making steps towards hiring a pro manager!

I know you disagree but for me this is the case as I for one enjoy watching some legacy rather than money on T.V.

Yes because size and success are two completely different things.

Recent form and current ability are my criteria for being a big club.

Chelsea is a big club.

A.Villa is not

Offtopic:
Fred, as a well known Arsenal fan, you better start praying for a new goalkeeper!

 

[Fred]

Oh i've been praying for 3 years now. :depressed

Arsenal should sign Foster, hell maybe Wenger will develope WC goalkeepers for a change.

 

[Fred]

Foster is a poor keeper. He was absolutely shocking for United this season. Has actually become third choice in United after Kuszack due to the clownish errors he made at the start of the season.

We missed the chance to go for Hugo Loris while he was still at Nice. Now that guy is a quality keeper.

Yet he played good for the NT, I don't think he's great or anything but I bet if anyone can bring back and improve Foster then surely its Wenger thats all Im saying.

Wenger has always been poor in choosing goalkeepers, one of his weak points if you ask me.

Definition or criteria of what a big club is could differ from one person to another, but for me, the minimum is that you have to be playing CL football every season at the very least.

Like Olympiacos?

Well they fit the minimum criteria, but nothing else. So no

What happens if Abramovich decided tomorrow that he'll sell chelsea and the new owners didn't want to invest much. Will they be considered a big club?!

Ajax is a big club, chelsea has a "rich" owner thats what this club is all about.

Once they're sold, they'll get back to garbage that they've came out from....

 

[Plusvalenza]

Fred, don't underrate Fabianski here

 

[Daddi]

What happened to Valencias poor economy? Weren't they in a crisis or? I want us to Sign the double D's

No, that's a successful club with a well built team.

Poland!

But Fabiański isn't a bad keeper at all.

 

[Orgut]

Well Wenger could come here he wouldn`t have a goalkeeper dillema here nor he need to scout for a goalie even Manninger is ok

I'm willing to give him a chance. But he hasn't really impressed in the few chances he's got here and there.
