Players Out

Bold Tone

If they can afford to pay the £90k a week wages, we should offer a buy Xhaka get Mustafi, Koscielny and Monreal free.

Ospina has left us for 4m as Napoli took up the option to make his move permanent with the agreed price.

We earned a whopping 800k. First of many sale

Play the little man in a 3

Play the little man in a two with a proper partner who isn't Xhaka

Sell him now for big money

i'll miss seeing him rolling around on the pitch at least 3 times per match.

I'm failing to understand what you mean by this?

Sidenote: Delighted he's gone.

I'd sell if the money was way above his market value, but only if the money enables us to buy a better player. If Ndombele's laughs at us down the phone, what use is £60m sitting in the bank?

Does anyone know anything about a rumoured change to FFP on July 1st? It's being touted as the reason for the quiet start to the transfer window, especially in the Premier League.

Jenkinson and Gibbs running down the flanks, WBA it's your turn now.

Quality player. Hope we don’t lose him.

Anzac

Saw a report that MU have apparently made an initial offer of 70m for PEA.

It's the domestic version or the STCC rules regarding wages v revenues that ended at the end of last season. As it stands there is nothing replacing those regulations/restrictions, meaning that we would not be facing the same inability to spend what we had, other than by our own internal restrictions.

An interesting point to this is the part where any loss is aggregated over a rolling 3 season window to a maximum of 5m, which can then be supplemented to another 30m that can be covered exclusively by investors/owners. This is exactly what Abramovich has been doing at CFC and at the same time they use player trading to replace the revenues Abramovich used to provide as part of their transfer budget.

More talk of Torreira being open to a move. Seriously cash in and give Bielik his place in the squad. Reinvest all the proceeds on a winger and/or a centreback

Claudius

Torreira is one of the few things I liked about this squad. Cashing in would sadden me. I’d need to see £20m turnaround

BWoolley

50M and Milan can have him. Let's take that + 15M and go get Ndombele.

Not about cashing in, only sell if we can get someone who better fits the profile.

Who in their right mind wants to come to Arsenal, especially if we are losing one of the 4 or 5 first team players with a pulse in the process?

Agree with this in principle but as a club we're very inefficient in the market so the amount of time and resources that we'll expend to get an improvement on Torreira could be better spent elsewhere. Torreira isn't perfect but he's far from the problem.

Don't things are as bad as that - we can offer big wages and at least on the face of it we're in the midst of "an exciting re-building project".

Anyway, we need a tall, powerful midfielder who can maraud. This is the English Premier League. We cannot do without that sort of player.

Thank you, Anazac.

So, reading through the article you linked to: A substantial increase to the wage bill is possible only after July 1st. I don't know how close to the limit most Premier League clubs are teetering, but this seems a very plausible explanation for the slow start. And means there could be an explosion of activity in 10 days time.
