It appears that we're waiting until after the derby game, but that leaves roughly 30 hours to get all the deals done. We've had 2 months to make one meaningful signing, 30 hours to get 4-5 ? :getcoat:

It's a crazy situation that we are in just now. Holding out until after the spuds game could only be a master stroke if deals are already in place and the only waiting is for the bale deal to go through. But I highly doubt that is the case as having new players in during pre season gives them the chance to bond with the rest of the squad and find thier feet. Now we have to hope any signings we do make hit the ground running. The biggest mistake of the close season was Gazidis coming out and blabbing about how much money we have. That just gave selling clubs the chance to bump the prices up and given Wenger the age old excuse that the market is inflated.

£35m-£38m ?!?!?

Is he really worth that much?

Better than that bastard Kroenke having it. I'd rather burn it than let him have it.

Hard to argue with that tbh.

Apparently sky sports news have reported that Chelsea won't make another bid for Rooney.

So if he wants out its us or a club that's hasnt been linked yet.

£40 million doesn't really matter if you have it there that can be spent, or with how much we're earning anyway. If it's who he wants, then just do it, I don't care anymore how much we're spending on it.

Half of that money can be made back in the future if it turns out to be a bust.

So basically the club that hasn't been linked yet

I'm with Maccy on this one. I don't give a fuck if he's 40 million or 60 million, we have he money so let's spend it to get our target instead of letting it rot in the bank. Have some faith in our scouting system for a change.

Yes but all those players in the one club have already all stated basically that they don't want to come here - they'd much rather rot on the bench at RM than get game time here which says it all about our attractiveness at the moment.
