Or maybe the rumours about the supposed transfer budget were nonsense?
But it was in the Mirror!

Yeah but that doesn't follow the narrative of Kroenke being tight and handcuffing the manager. We've only spent £270m since June 2016

Great post. Of which can only be proven by future windows. Seen a similar pattern though.17/18 - £103M spent, £106M gained from sales.
16/17 - £96M spent, £9M gained from sales.
15/16 - £23M spent, £2M gained from sales.
14/15 - £105M spent, £25M gained from sales.
We started spending big in 14/15 so stretched it back to there. Since 14/15 we've spent £327M but recouped £142M from sales. So over those 4 seasons or 8 transfer windows we've spent a total of £185M. Or £46M a year/season OR £23M a window.
For me Kroenke has nothing to do with it, we're self sustained and I think the manager has always had those funds to use within reason. Kroenke doesn't get us anything, he could easily say here's another £200M actually go and become title challengers. We always seem to have a season of around an £80M spend followed by a season of not spending much at all.
Next summer I fully expect a lot of outgoings but our net spend will not be high. This summer falls into the bracket of a summer where we have a net spend of around 70-80M.
I agree with your post, can i ask how many you think will be sold?? We have signed 10 first teamers in 1 year!!17/18 - £103M spent, £106M gained from sales.

Striker?! We've just signed a young DM?
Don't see any point in selling Elneny, very useful squad player. Signing a young striker is stupid if we want Nketiah to go far.
Impossible to tell because you don't know who will react well to the new training etc. Mustafi and Xhaka for example could become brilliant as unlikely as that sounds.
I think between now and next summer we'll see 7 of the current first team squad being sold.
Yes unless there a player he likes became available we'll buy but he seem happy with the squad he have.
Real will have to sign 2-3 big players until the end of the window. No more Zizou, Ronaldo, Kovacic wants to leave and it's possible Benzema might be shipped out.This window quite the opposite with Real & then Barce just missing out on targets.

It's clear they need to inject some new life into their squad and after not spending any serious money in the last two years, Perez will splash the cash to remain competitive.
Ospina probably goes on loan or is permanently transferred, Jenkinson gets the ax, Jeff and Akpom on loan somewhere, Campbell finally sold, possibly even Nelson on a loan.
Think we'll make the CL this year, which will up our spending power. What is that... an extra 30 million Pounds?17/18 - £103M spent, £106M gained from sales.

With that money we'll finally afford to buy Zaha, the missing link in our squad.What is that... an extra 30 million Pounds?
