the whole idea of a 'big' club nowadays is out of wack, City and Chelsea are not even part of the top 10 biggest clubs in England in my opinion, they are just the richest at the moment
and in 2-3 years when the financial stuff comes in, if it's done right, and while UEFA hasn't been perfect they have been a lot less corrupt than FIFA, City and Chelsea are going to massively suffer

True, those clubs are not that big (especially City) and Uefa is investigating that sponsorship deal Man City signed. Hopefully they plug up the loop holes as a sponsorship deal that is 10x any other going rate screams rule breaking (in spirit).
I'm not worried about Cesc or Nasri individually, more the fact we can't keep a top player anymore. Often it is due to stupid stances like age/term of contracts or low ball offers. I admit that other times we have no choice (Cesc).
The collection of everyone leaving has me wanting Wenger to go, unless he does a massive reversal and spends some real money on players who are not 17 or under.
