    Apparently we are on the watchlist, whatever that means. The club believe we are compliant with FFP. I guess it means we can't keep on spending freely and that we need to further reduce our wage bill. One of our biggest issues the past few years has been the little we have picked up on player sales. This should change now that we have a squad full of mainly young talented players.

    We will have to ask Citey and PSG and the likes for that.

    We’ll be fine. From what I can gather this ‘watch list’ is based on last year’s figures and we’ve shit-canned a lot of high-earners and dead wood since then. I’m sure we’re getting close to the limits of what we can do without another round of departures now, but there’s still a few players we can lose, and what we’ve already done should be covered.

    The reality is every big club probably sits on this watch list permanently - some journo is trying to make it sound like some kind of special investigation to get a story out of it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s anything more than the football equivalent of submitting your company accounts to HMRC each year.

    Pepe off to Nice on loan for the season, hopefully that frees up the space for Neto!

    Good luck to him - really hope he can revive his career there. He’ll be a good player for someone… just not us.

    Not with Arteta in charge anyways he either loves you or detests the fact that you exist.

    Fofana to Chelsea for 70m+

    This market is stupid, he’s not even been capped by France FFS.

    Makes you wonder what someone would pay for Saliba.

    We might actually be able to break double-figure millions! With add ons, of course.

    Gone a bit quiet on the transfer front.

    Neto or Tielemans feels unlikely now unless we fork out silly money.
