    From not buying any outfield player last season, to spending that much says that Wenger got it massively wrong. Just for that reason alone I can't see him doing it.

    I'm sure we do have more than £54m to spend but I'm not sure what the table above demonstrates. It shows how much income we have from a certain source but that income wouldn't entirely go into the transfer pot, would it?

    I think that was just one accountancy firm trying to drum up some attention for themselves by the looks of it. What we get in terms of revenue doesn't equal what we can spend though. I think it's estimated we have around 200m in cash reserves, before normal expenditure. No business would blow all their cash reserves anyway, so a little under 100m is probably about right in terms of what the club could access if they wanted to.

    The previous season he hadn't brought in anyone during the summer other than Flamini on a free before Ozil just before the window closed, and then Brokenback in January.

    And he bought all these players after winning the fa cup

    And that counts as a trophy, right?

    I'd be happy if we only made 1 additional signing if it were Higuain.

    Well, Morata looks the most likely target at this point, so I'd start trying to work out how you see him fitting in.

    Slightly complicated ownership situation between Real and Juventus, but in an odd way that might actually make it easier for us to get the deal done? Would be expensive, for sure, but we'd effectively be negotiating with a club (Real) who don't actually want him, and are just looking for a bit of quick profit, rather than than the club that he currently plays for, and who regard him as an important member of their squad (Juve)?

    Wonder if Marketing would be stupid enough to take Walnut from us as part of a deal for Morata? We did it to Barca with Tommy and Song, let's stitch Marketing up too.

    I was about to say don't be silly, Madrid wouldn't be that stupid but then there is precedent with Woodgate and Owen of buying overrated english toot

    I'd rather it be part of a swap deal for James Rodriguez personally

    Or just send him over there like a complimentary basket of muffins?
