And it was convenient of them to spin it as £63m gained from Cesc and Nasri, £74m spent because they know sales of Eboue, Clichy and others will be forgotten - which added up to a decent total. Well they do say "The resulting profit from player trading was £46.1 million".

Ah well, who gives a fuck. Should be interesting to see what happens now that we don't have any stars left. Even if we look to cash in Van Persie, he's not going for more than £25m. Nobody will take Theo. Maybe Sagna will fetch a good fee.
acquisition of new players and the extension of contract terms for certain existing players.

Thats how
