Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

These accounts show the investment from Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the senior member of oil-rich Abu Dhabi's ruling family, at £999,616,000, almost £1bn, in just five years

What an achievement.

You're trying to trick me into starting a 17 page discussion on this when you know fucking well I finally absolutely as a last resort before every bucket of shit ever dumped by mankind hits every fan ever manufactured (including the now broken ones) have to get a drink do some work today.

You got me!

How much do you get for winning the Prem again? £15-20m?

Closer to a 100 million this season with the new TV deal.

Well let's hope this isn't true.

Bacary Sagna will hold talks with Manchester City after the FA Cup Final later this month.
The Arsenal right-back is in the midst of a long-running contract wrangle with the club and looks almost certain to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer when his deal expires.
Sagna is free to discuss a move to a Barclays Premier League club at the end of the season, and his intention is to discuss a potential switch to the Etihad Stadium.

Co sign that. Terrible player, slow and immobile and has one of those faces you wana punch.

Totally agree P'n'G.

Wenger needs to address the balance in Central Midfield and possibly on the wings. I personally feel there is a geniune need for a specialist DM if we are looking to play Ramsey and Ozil in Midfield too, Ramsey as the box to box and Ozil as the AM/2nd striker.

I am not sure there is a need for Santi on the wings, you could argue that he addresses the balance when Theo is fit, but without Theo, we need a proper runner/dribbler on one of the wings, maybe OX?

That's an interesting point. I think that it is less of an issue than many suggest but in Theo's absence the team play is a little lop sided and less balanced.

He won't be displacing Zabaleta, and will be on the bench in most games.

If he does leave, I hope he goes to another league. If not, then oh well . You tend to just move on with fullbacks.

Nah, it'll be just like Clichy and Kolarov, anyways, he's been here for a while. If he wants to go make his money, and win some trophies, more power to him.

We all work hard to get to this point, where you got options in life.

Yeah, but every club gets a (more or less) equal share of that, just for taking part - I'm talking about the extra bit you get for your finishing position.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It used to be £20 million but it'll surely be more than double that now.

Whatever the figures, it's a lot.
