I also hear that we sold some of the land around the emirates to Barrat homes yesterday, which boosted the transfer kitty to £60m.
Is that true?

Been saying it for 2 months now mate, i think we have already signed/sold most of what we are going to do.Originally Posted by Save me Jeebus!
who knows mate, that deal did happen as did the new sponsorship but whether that money will be used i dont know. There were rumours that Stan had put in £20mil as well and if he has i would expect Ulisher to match that so we could have a considerable amount to spend, the thing in the way, rigthly or wrongly, is Wengers morals
If that's the case why haven't we announced it?
Other clubs have announced their signings, nothing stops us confirming signings like everyone else.
I reckon all our attempted deals are still being handled and that we're haggling on price as usual. It makes sense to announce signings, firstly to show the fans something is being done and secondly to sell season tickets.

Who has announced what??
Utd have just about anounced Jones....nothing on Ashley Young yet.
I know Newcastle signed some cunt from Lille.
But that's about all the big stuff I can think of.....
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I think we have the deals done in principle, but the signatures etc left to do on July 1st. I really dont think we will hang around as much as we usually do.
Liverpool signed that Henderson fella too.
My point is that the fans are p*ssed off and it makes sense to announce signings ASAP from our point of view.
That's why I don't reckon we have anything finalised at all, moreover the selling clubs often announce sales/agreements.
Where's the article on the website etc if true? Is Skysports twitter actually skysports?
Exactly. We can't officially sign anyone from outside the prem until 1st July. And it would be stupid to do so.
As far as players from The Prem are concerned, there could be any number of reasons why we can't announce signings. For one, if a club is letting a player go, they have to replace them too....and if their replacement comes from outside England, then they're not going to want to let a player go until they're confident they have a signature.
Fucksake.

I actually think that the deals virtually wrapped up are:
Samba
Cahill
Gervinho
All 3 just need to dot the i's and cross the t's.
