Yeah, not happening if we can’t buy any players. Sevilla won’t loan him.

Yeah agree with the above, not a chance we're getting Banega on loan. He is far too important for Sevilla.

I'm going to admit, I don't understand how we can't afford players. Basically every team in the league spends plenty of money on players and we can't? We made a profit in the summer last year didn't we?

I get Stan won't put money in but we have one of the biggest incomes of any club in the world, where is it?

Someone esplain.

Mixed emotions. Didn’t want YFC, Suarez and Banega.

However I did prefer to spend all that money on one quality player so nothing permanent is jokes.

Gazidis really knocked it out the park didn’t he, letting Alexis’ value run out when it was clear for almost two years he wasn’t renewing, caving and paying Özil the huge contract and not cashing in on Ramsey or Welbeck.

I hope he has a miraculous recovery of his hair and then it all falls out again.

One of the richest clubs in the world but every transfer window we're told we're skint. Sensational stuff. Should change our name from Charity FC to Skint FC

We spent £60-£70m net in the summer. That’s probably about the max we can spend on players without selling anyone and without the new sponsorship deals.

Summer before we made a few million in profit. So is it more like 30-40 per year max we can spend without sales?
 

say yes

Wenger deserves the blame as much, if not more, than Gazidis. He was responsible for the transfer and squad building decisions which have landed us in this mess.

We f*cking suck at buying and selling. Last huge fee we got was Oxlade Chamberlain and even then we let him run it down to his final year.

I know some on here are saying resale value is a “non issue” but this is why it is. If you have an owner who doesn’t give cash injections you’ve got to generate your own transfer budgets.

I dunno how much we truly can spend. We’ve spent £90 net while we were in the champions league. You also have to consider our wage bill went up by about £30m while at the same time missing out on the champions league. That’s £50m less revenue that could’ve been used elsewhere.
