Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wasted a big chunk of it on Lacazette too, if current rumour and speculation is to be believed. That claim we signed Laca instead of Auba because we were penny pinching - if that's true and we have ended up with both anyway, dear oh dear. That would be mismanagement on an epic scale.

If we take the last two transfer windows we are definitely up

But take the last five years, our net spend is about 200 million.

The argument was always made by Wenger and his defenders that he couldn’t compete but he’s had plenty of money to spend and he’s wasted the vast majority of it.

Until you have the actual figures for what we earn from the stadium, the sponsors, transfers and actual expenditure, it's not worth trying to argue that we've spent all our money. Whenever we don't spend as expected, these stories and theories start floating around despite revenue going up and up. It was the same when we only signed Ozil and again when we only signed Cech.

As seen from the report, the manager covered for Sanchez when reports flew about a training ground bust up with Kos. People thought Henry was stirring when he noticed something wasn't right with that goal celebration. The team tried to cover it up with their IG and Twitter accounts. Nature of the business. Cover the bullshit up.

So.... these rumours of us not having money are just cover stories for Wenger. Someone is feeding us bullshit because if any of it's true, that last ditch attempt to sign Lemar or us being close to signing Mbappe last summer were fantasy tales spun to con the fans.

We have more money than any other club in the world. We saw that report a while back, we have around a quarter billion in cash and have done for several seasons. But we can't spend any of it because it's need for "cashflow". It's not clear whose cashflow they are talking about. And there's all the extra TV money and sponsorships, that would have covered the extra transfer expenditures. We're the richest club in the world because we work at it, we make it a priority. If they started claiming this poverty bullshit again then only Ty will believe it.

That doesn't mean we have a high net spend, it's just higher than theirs

I didn’t say we had no money in fact i stated we have about 180million in cash reserve and yes that’s before other income.

The sponsorship deal and the stadium naming deal will bolster our finances, but a Club our size will have outgoings. We have paid off a lot of the loan we took out to build the stadium but we are still paying a mortgage essentially.

So no not all the money we make on profit can be spent on transfers. Plus when the club say there is no money available it means they allocate a certain amount for a transfer budget.

Anyway if you listen to the Ornstein interview, he says it’s Wenger who claims there is money to spend but the club that say otherwise

Christ alive, my brother thinks Xhaka will come good. If it was 12 months earlier it might be tenable to think that way but not now

Do you believe that?
