Would take Draxler as a mini-madness this window for about £40m and send Ox out on loan.

Think we should do a Morata style deal for James Rodriguez. Loan him for two season and then sell back for 30 million  😆

We have no interest in James, apparently.

Obviously not. £90m spent, and we're going to spend a further £60m+? It's very far fetched.

I think might if he was the right player for us.

I don't for a second believe we're doing madness this summer, but not for financial reasons. I just don't see any potential candidates.

Exactly. Feel that we would definitely do it, if someone would be available.

That is what I think as well, no point spunking £60m on James when he isn't really someone we desperately need. Now if it was a world class CF I reckon we would spend the money. There are rumours of Aubameyang to R.Madrid and if that happened then I could see R.Madrid offloading Benzema/Morata. I could see us making a move then, another name floating around is Sturridge. A sick note he is but a superb striker as well, I'd take a risk on him. If he could give us 20 games I reckon he'd get 10 goals. Then again with Liverpool trying for a Top 4 position I seriously doubt they'd even consider selling to us.

This talk of us having spent £100mil needs reigning in and put into context.

Transfer fees have spiralled out of control because money has increased in football.

Fees have basically doubled. What we've done so far is the equivalent of spending £50mil a few years ago.

Ornstein has just said no more signings 😆

Could be a ploy by the club though. Deliberately had him reveal false info regarding Mustafi.

Third highest spenders in the league though.

We're better stocked at CF than on the wings.

You could probably consider Welbeck a winger from now on if Lucas proves to be a success at CF.

What False info are you referring to?

No more signings after Perez/Mustafi.

Over 2 seasons where do we rank?

I genuinely have no idea. 3rd highest in this window was highlighted on skysports news a couple of days ago following Wenger 'confirming' mustafi and perez.

Fella, don't talk about spend, talk about net spend.

Exactly. The cumulative investment in the squad is still behind our rivals.

We only spent around 15m last season.
