HOW MUCH WILL WE SPEND IN JANUARY?

Post by gus ceasar is a legend »

Right well Quartz is doing the names we are linked with so I thought I would ask how much you realistically see us spending in the transfer window?

Personally, I think people are getting far too excited with what's going to happen in the transfer window.

The best players hardly ever move, they are injured or cup tied and, oh yes, we have no money to spend!

So regardless of if we sign one player or five, how much do you see being shelled out or do you think whatever outlay we commit to will be outweighed by what we get in through sales?

Personally, I will be impressed if Wenger spends the price of a new pair of shoes in the Next sale!

(I know we may never actually know the value due to the Arsenal way of "undisclosed" fees but we all know the approx value of a player and we can use the medias best guesses as valuations.)

We will spend fuck all. Everything is fine. We have a young squad full of potential. We can't risk killing them. Everything is fine.

He is a bargain hunter . If he thinks a player he values at 15 million is available for under 10 million he would buy him ( even if we dont really need someone in that position ) . On the other hand he wont buy a player we desperately need unless he feels he is getting a good deal .

I'm gonna be a optimist / dellusional and vote for 10 / 15 million . Hopefully with the general worldwide financial meltdown , some bargains will attract our miserly manager into actually spending .

Hard to say, we don't know who is available other then those whose contracts are running out and even then, might only get them in the summer. I think we will try to spend, after all our attempts to get in about a 100 different dm's is well known, surely he will try to get someone in there again

I voted for somewhere between 5m-10m cos spending money doesnt come easily to wenger even if the club has it to spend plus our income from transfers will be minimal with gallas leaving for somewhere between 3m-5m

I agree with DB.

therefore, we've collected points in 71% of our games! now that sounds more positive! :lol:

Arsene Knows! 8)

nah, seriously, we NEED to sign a combative midfielder, and if a top quality player isn't available, then a stop-gap will have to do... it's that important!

Failure to buy in this position, is bordering on sabotage!

I voted for £5-10m.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I voted for the first one. I don't think Gallas will stay. The slight cup-tied for the CL issue won't be an issue if Milan's interest is real. If Juve's interest is real, then it doesn't like it matters to Ranieri. Bring Senderos back, plus Eduardo's return, and that's 'like two new signings'! :roll: I can see us signing some youngster we won't see 'til the turn of the century from Siberia for half a million too.
