Waste of money. Leyton'll beat them anyway.
Fuck off: Bournemouth linked with bid for Coventry striker Callum Wilson
I honestly don't jump on the pink one being our away shirt. I think it'll be black, and then the pink one will be our Champions League away shirt.
These are still just rumors.
But aren't we supposed to play in gold when we have won the Copa del Rey?

Well, we just signed some Bulgarian dude called Simeon Slavchev. No fucking clue who he is, apparently Spurs, Zenit and Roma were interested in him.

So sad what's happening to rare, yes only 16 people mainly working on line t bullshit but a couple of veterans have gone. Seriously a shell of their former selves, totally mismanaged by MS.
Is that confirmed?
I thought we had another stint at him since Barca are fully allowed to make transfers this summer.

It apparently won't have the old wolf crest on it though =(
What do you think of the figures being quoted for these two? 25m or so. Seem like bargains to me, particularly in Alexis' case.

I love that man. I'd like to have him narrate my entire life, he somehow manages to make everything interesting.
In 2015 Meier, give him time to say goodbye once again and he'll leave once next season is over.
Aurier 7m
Cesc 25m
Schneiderlin 15-20
Striker 48
Boom.

Isn't Wenger's £100m budget spread over the next couple of years? Be surprised if Arsenal spent £100m net this summer. Very surprised.
FootballFan

Why would our budget shrink from last year?
All the reports make it sounds like it is 100m this summer.
Doubt he spends it all, but it sounds like it is available.
If he actually wants a RB, DM, and top class striker I could easily see us spending 60 or 70.
It's probably bollocks.
We get the very similar alleged transfer budget every single summer window and it never comes to fruition. Probably people basing it one how many bones we have in the bank.
It's just for this summer. Dat Puma and Emirates money. Plus we got the 4th place trophy revenues and record TV money. If anything, we should be spending more than that.

How much did you spend last summer? What, £35m net? Clubs like to say they have these huge budgets...believe it when it's spent.
Anyway, this is the tweet I saw with reference to the £100m. Believe Jeremy Wilson has a decent record with Arsenal stuff.
Jeremy Wilson ‏@JWTelegraph 22h
Worth saying on £100m budget, it's an informed estimate at rolling amount in transfer fund for fees/wages so not all for fees in one window

And apparently it´s raining players in Alvalade. We just signed another guy, former Vitoria Guimarães CB, Paulo Oliveira.
U-21 international for Portugal, has quite a potential. Good signing.

Has Arsenal ever said they had a huge budget? From what I remember, it's generally vague "the manager has money available" comments from Ivan the terrible.
Anyway, Arsene will spend whatever he deems appropriate.

Yeah it's a bit like our £100/150/200 million budget touted by everyone that was never mentioned by the club.

It's not that straightforwards. All of the money from these deals doesn't suddenly go into the transfer kitty. The sponsorship deals Arsenal signed add approx £45m to the annual income. TV money has also increased a fair bit as you said.
However, Arsenal have renewed what, 6 or 7 contracts in the past year? Some of those are fairly sizeable wage increases and Ozil has also come in on a pretty hefty wage I imagine too.
Remember, Arsenal posted a loss in their latest financial report. Not a large one by any means, I think it was £2/£3m in the red - but the club isn't yet pulling in swathes and swathes of millions and stashing them in the bank.
You do of course have that cash in the bank which could be spent, but Arsenal are still finding their feet when it comes to being a club which generates huge profits. They're not there yet.
Yeah the club's never specify the budget beyond "there is money to invest" but I'd assume some of the figures you hear are briefed from somewhere inside the club.
Agree, that's a lot less than £100m though. A Cesc Fabregas less for example ;-)
under 21? looks as old as Torres
True, but I think if Cesc is really available the club would make every effort to sign him.
It would be an absolute PR nightmare to see him and RVP at United.
Honestly, it would be to me.
And not because I don't think the club would be willing to spend that much, but because I can't think of players who would cost that much. There is a very strong possibility that we will be going through the bargain bins for the Loic Remys of the world, or basically some unknown RB from France.

He´s 22 now but he´s still eligible to play for the U-21 Euro 2015 Qualification.
Vivalaraza
Member
Well, I can't see us signing him regardless.
But if we were to stump up that cash, Barca were willing and he was up for it., I honestly don't foresee Arsenal forgoing their summer plans just to stop that from happening.

You're doing it wrong for fucks sake. It's Giuventas.
Oh definitely.
That 60-70 is assuming there are players available to buy. That is a bigger issue than the budget.
I don't think he leaves this season honestly.
LabouredSubterfuge
Member
Nor should they. Concentrate on what you actually need, rather than worry about some silly sense of saving face.
Dean asked me if this was real
That's another reason I can't see Barca selling.

:lol
Normally, yeah, but if there's a desperate Manchester United and Edward Woodward on the other end, then it might only serve to inflate the fee.
Would kill me to see him that shirt. My heart would break, again.
I'd die. Absolutely die.
Sagna and Nasri at City. Cesc and RVP at Man U.
Kill me.
Dead.
