This is totally the sort of sh8t I'd write if I were pretending to be an ITK on twitter.

Anyone looking with anticipation to a summer where Arsenal spend £200m are setting themselves up for some major dissapointments....

Hahahaha.
I know exactly how they operate. This summer is a different scenario and a scenario that we've never had before. If you believe in what you're saying then your opinion is we won't make any signings until players are sold.

Spot on. We're totally broke, making a loss each year and loaned up to the eyeballs with no fans at the stadium, and no European money to come. The best this club can do is sell players and offload wages. Bring back Guendouzi, Saliba and Willock and use any money from sales to get a new manager in that can bring the best out of them. Steve Bruce showed us the way.

Do you not think this is the reason why KSE will spend ffs? Literally just wrote all the reasons why they will spend. Plus I believe FFP isn't in play for now. So they can do as much as they want.
We will sign 5 before any major departures. Ryan, Bertrand, RB, CM and a creative player. Simple as that and to do so KSE will, like you said, have to invest.

Hairspray wake up, you're dreaming again.

Why am I dreaming? You don't think we'll make a single signing this summer no? After everything that's gone on and been said?
If anything with that logic you're dreaming.

Even a few months back when everything was still uncertain with Covid, I saw mega contracts continuing on in baseball (MLB) as if nothing happened, so in general the sporting world is looking forward and as crowds come back into stadia, five years from now the last year of Covid will be seen as noise for owners and the money men of sports. That doesn't mean Barca, Real Madrid, Italian clubs do not have money problems but most of that is due to decisions regardless of Covid.
Arsenal typically spend 70m (net spend) a transfer window. Take 40m out of that and that leaves 30m. We have a lighter wage bill and have sales to be made this summer. I wouldn't say 100-120m spend on buys is unrealistic even if the Kroenke's don't do anything, although they certainly will still try to pretend it is all them like they did for Partey. Probably best to not box yourself in because you know your comments will be bookmarked (not by me) and used against you, even though it will probably be done by someone with little/no gravitas here.

This is the flaw in your argument mate. KSE don't HAVE to invest anything.
You're coming at it from a fans perspective which is totally cool, your primary point of concern is on field success.
The problem is all the evidence from Kroenke's ownership to date shows that on field success is way down on their order of priorities.
If we achieve on field success within Kroenke's established business model I'm sure he'll be happy. If we don't he's not going to lose any sleep over it though. It's just not a priority for him and all the evidence to date tells us that.

We have 5 first-team players we probably we need to replace, as BaldSpray says you're easily looking at 30M for at least 3 of them. I can see us spending easily 150M, then depending on other fees for players leaving, we'll see who else we can get.
This summer is a once-in-a-million opportunity.

I think an optimistic perspective is to say we'll have a good window by Arsenal's standards, so as you say spending around 100-120m. What we won't have is a good window by super club standards, we can't spend 220m like Chelsea did last summer.

Unless the Kroenke's do something real, not symbolic gestures, and not making a big deal about a total spent on buys largely facilitated by sales.

Talented player, seems too premature to make such a big move, though. Would've expected him to first make the step to Feyenoord/PSV (Ajax doesn't need him).
7m would be massive for Sparta, their annual balance is around 10m.

Is that a reliable source?
From the compilations he looks pretty decent, not really a defensive midfielder, more of a no. 8. His stats in comparison to the most highly rated young midfielder in the league also don't look too shabby. I was surprised to see he's 23, is he just a late bloomer?

Probably my favourite offensive player in this draft class. He can do everything, scored 15+ goals in the league every season for the last 5 years, brilliant player. Think he'll go Sp**s when Kane leaves, while they bed in a younger striker behind him. Top-level for 3 years while we bed in Martinelli is ideal.
