I don't believe any club is making serious transfer plans at the moment, least of all us. If our funds were going to be limited by missing out on the CL then we're going to be crippled now.
Arteta said we have 3 transfer scenarios. That’s exactly how we should be approaching this window. We should have drawn out what the different outcomes might be in terms of how the season ends and what the impact is on us and the financials of other teams.
And Speedy is absolutely right, we should look to scalp other clubs. I expect Spanish and Italian clubs will be reeling. Let’s take their best prospects. On the other hand, we can also use this as an opportunity. If transfer values are largely down across the board for this summer, then this will be the time to give people a bargain in Xhaka, Ozil et al. Moving them out and replacing with good youth would be a strong move for improving income statement and balance sheet.
