    Yes I saw that. Nice touch to add a bullshit newsletter link as the first thing to read and click, which helps the site bounce rate ontop of a crappy article to help boost the average read time. AST did their usual budget analysis along with Swiss Ramble and reckoned that it was around the £100m mark in terms of available spend. And when you take into account player amortisation, you realise that more should have been spent even before these supposed 'sacred' commercial deals came to the fore.

    I think it's fair to say that a substantial amount of cash has always been available but Wenger/the club just haven't been willing to take the risk.

    We've actually spent a lot though in recent seasons when you consider we haven't sold anyone of significance since RVC. Our net spend must be quite high but Wenger still hasn't managed to get close to the major prizes, maybe he's accepted he can't do it anymore and doesn't want to waste more money.

    Well atleast we're being linked with someone again, Lucas Perez from Deportivo

    Scored 17 goals and had 10 assists last season

    Spanish media say Everton were in for him, but we've made a last minute move and he wants to join us. £16m release clause



    Seems to have some pace to him and isn't Sanogo. Make it happen.

    Holy fucking hell! What a sob story. Poor us, we're totally fucking skint. No wonder the 600 employees are getting nervous.

    We have to tap the overdraft to buy players Is that how we'd do it? What about buying players on Kroenke's credit card? Is that not an option, at 29%? Or there's always Wonga who I hear have been forced to slash their rates to 5.2million percent per week.

    Why did they put this bit in?

    Since Mr Wenger’s appointment, the Arsenal share price has jumped a staggering 40 fold from £400 to £16000 per share.
    Sometime, they are so keen to praise the master they end up shooting their own faces off.

    The real story of Arsenal is right there. One bunch of Jackals who took their cut, and the others tapped into a vein while they wait for the cash out.

    All i've ever tried to do is manage expectations, get rid of Wenger fine no argument from me....what then?.....who do we get in?.....can we really make the assumption that we are going to be an automatic draw to someone like Diego Simeone who doesn't speak English, for me gets his teams playing far more dull football than we do under Wenger and in my mind has absolutely no reason to want to leave Atletico Madrid for us.
    Then what??.....Wenger whatever else we think of him is better than a great deal of the managers in the premier league currently, trying to claim that anyone could have kept a club of our stature consistent is on the surface unfalsifiable but essentially countered by evidence of what has happened to big clubs like Manchester united and Chelsea in the last three years.
    I don't want to qualify for the top four just for the sake of it, but neither do i want us to fall out of the top four just for the want of something different
    The stagnation, the ground hog season year after year is all interminable and so unnecessary but to pretend literally anyone is our ticket out of there is naive in the extreme.
    Tuchel?, Bilic?, Low?, Koeman?....the man we bring in seems to me twice as important as just getting rid of the current manager apart from giving certain supporters like yourself a brief moment of catharsis.
    Are you Kroenke's consultancy services team?

    He looks tidy enough. But it's all played against those hopeless defences. You don't get that much time in the PL. But he has to be an improvement on Walnut.

    Of course if we buy another cheapie then it's a baked in excuse for not buying a top striker next time around. We have Chepie 1 and Cheapie 2 who would be killed if we brought a goalscorer in. So buy another midfielder instead.

    Just looked at this guys record, makes for sorry reading, looks like another cheap nobody we like, 17 in 37 last season (27 years of age) but before that his record was awful, 6 goals the previous season, 2 before that and 10 before that one, his career record is awful......so much for only signing quality if we sign this chump.

    This would be just like us though, waste all summer watching quality players and then snatch some nobody who can't shoot for toffee to add to our already rubbish strike force and guarantee no strikers for the next 4 years.

    Not saying he is a great signing, but...

    Since start of 2014/15 season:
    Lucas Perez - 58 La Liga appearances, 24 goals
    Kevin Gameiro - 57 La Liga appearances, 24 goals

    Pretty similar records. Oh, and Lucas Perez is younger and scored those goals for a weaker team.

    Spanish Jamie Vardy?

    I'd honestly rather we save our money.

    Everton think he's worth 15million, they will probably make us pay 60 million for the useless cunt
