Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

Yup....

I can't see Wenger spending 40 million on another midfielder who most of us barely know.....he was barely willing to spend that on Suarez.

I think it's happening but I think it means one of Ozil or Sanchez is off. Would be very surprised if we pay this money without a player leaving to offset the expense.

Hopefully the Feo rumours are true, which would help.

We have to remember we bought in Ozil and Sanchez without a big departure.

Before the shambles of last summer, the prior two we spent much more than we took in on transfer fees. Arsenal doesnt do that "break even" thing anymore.

If we dont spend, its because Wenger is being an idiot.

Arteta, Flamini, Rosicky, Debuchy all leaving.

Two or even all three of Campbell, Walcott, Oxlade likely leaving.

What matters most of all though is that we have the right mix of injuries and opportunism by new/young players so that we stumble upon a functioning team for a good period of the season, because otherwise we're relying on WUMger making sensible decisions. Which he has been averse to for a long time now.

Doubt it these days, that didn't happen in the two seasons we signed those players.

I mean, I'm not saying one of them won't be leaving but it's not because we're signing Xhaka.

Oh right, Rkane already picked this up.

How good is this guy? Is he just another player that's going add another 5% to our possession stats and maybe increase our total passes?

I enjoyed watching Munchiesgladbach play against Citeh earlier this season but I can't remember if Xhaka was part of that enjoyment.

I don't think we'll be breaking even, just very surprised that Wenger is spending this big on midfield when it's an area full of his pet projects. The cynic in me thinks Xhaka is in, Ozil out, Wilshere moved to AM to replace Ozil. I'm also shocked how early we're getting this done, admittedly the Euros plays a part in this but still...
