I guess it's all relative, is 25 million expensive to the average man on the street, yes it is, is it expensive in football where money is moving around in huge amounts, no definitely not.
Sounds to me like a re-hashed version of the Wenger "1 or 2 players" of "super super quality".
The players we've been linked with so far have not been expensive other than Zaha, who we can't afford anyway and even if we could wouldn't make sense as his value would have plummeted in a couple years when he's getting close to 30.
If we want to spend big money we should spend it on younger players who's value will only rise like Liverpool have done.
Incidentally Aubameyang will have one year left on his contract next summer, think Lacazette will too, anyone seen any new contracts handed out yet, or are we just going to let them walk away cut price or for nothing again?
Meanwhile West Ham spend 45 million on Haller.

Good point you have to hope they're sticking to Raul's plan and having the negotiations quietly and sensibly behind closed doors...
....no, me neither...
Delphi went to Everton for 8.5 million he other day. Said he aims to win things. Bless him.

Say we do actually sign some players. Would signing Everton Soares, Kieran Tierney, William Saliba (and Ceballos on Loan) make for a good haul for the summer? Feels like we'd be missing a quality CB still at the very least, even if Koscielny stays to see out his contract.

I knew they’d be looking to recoup some of that money they spent on that midfielder.
I think with limited opportunities we’ll see more young players playing abroad now. Different mentality to the old lot. Especially after seeing Sancho.
I really want to see Ozil, Kos, Mustafi, Elneny, Monreal and Jenkinson leave.
I'd be happy if there is only a replacement for 3 or 4 of those.
It would be good riddance to 6 players who are either crap or too old.
Ornstein says Saliba deal almost done, Tierney ongoing along with the Ceballos loan.
It would leave us a ‘now’ CB and a backup RB short of totally a successful summer, although I’d still be very happy with each of those players in their own right.
CB is an interesting one for me - we could definitely do with an upgrade in personnel there, but I also think a lot of our calamitous defending was down to a flawed shape and bad pairings in CM, which we might be able to address with some of the above?
If we suddenly had proper wingers to choose from and a LB who is comfortable in a back 4 then we might be able to go 433 when defending, which would give us an extra man in midfield? If we add a guy like Cellabos in CM, then maybe we won’t chuck possession away quite so often in front of the CBs? I’d still like the extra CB, but it might - might - be enough to see us muddle through to the next window?
