We're splashing the cash Claude. World Cup wallet 100 million war chest. Etc.

0-19.

I would be pretty surprised if we didn't get to £60m. We have a big commercial income increase. We'll spend £10-15m on a RB and backup goalkeeper for sure just for numbers' sake, and then we'll buy another 2-3 players, one of whom will be in the £30m+ range. Nobody else is leaving besides maybe Podolski.

Yeah Flobs we lookin good.

We will spend around £50m.

0-19m. Young right back and obscure goalkeeper for around 7-8m combined, then someone like Vela/Kalou/Remy and maybe a Kallstrom type midfielder.

Lol! On second thoughts i should have chosen the 3rd option.

Though if you consider that we are signing at-least 4 players and we get even 1 ozil like signing, our spend could reach 60+ mill

this exactly.

I am convinced we are going to spend quite a lot. There will be a splash on either an outright striker or a wide player, and we will certainly buy a right back and a goalkeeper. The fact that we have been looking for a defensive minded midfielder in the last two windows seems to indicate that Wenger feels we need one those as well. If Vermaelen is allowed to leave I reckon we will sign someone roughly at the price his sale will fetch.

This is what I think will happen to the first team squad:
Out - Vermaelen, Miyaichi, Podolski (£20m-£22m)
In - Striker and winger (£40m-£50m), RB (£7m-£12m), CB (£8m-£12m), CM (£15m-£20m), Goalkeeper (£3m-£5m)

Net spend - £53m - £77m

Wenger may not buy that CM though.
