Arsene can finally see the light and changing policy

INS

Gervinho Â£11m
Santos Â£6m
Park Â£3
Mertersacker Â£8m
Jenkinson Â£1m

TOTAL: Â£29m

OUTS

Fabregas Â£30m
Nasri Â£24m
JET Â£1m
Eboue Â£6m
Glichy Â£7m
Traore Â£3m

TOTAL: Â£71m

NET PROFIT: Just the Â£42 Million pounds then!!!

Add to that:

SUMMER TRANSFER WARCHEST: Â£40 Million
Toure + Bayor Transfer Facility: Â£40 million

So that's Â£42 million in transfer profits Plus Â£80 million untouched = Â£122 million.

And yet there are gaps and shoddy quality all over the place.

Yep. Arsene can finally see the light and is changing policy!

If this is ANYTHING, it is simply desperation; no "big" team in the world could not buy after losing 8-2 and having a relegation-worthy recent form record.

Pretty sure we also bought Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Oh, and it's "Clichy".

But never mind, we've all had a drink ey Martin?

You have forgotten Oxlaide-Chamberlain.

Therefore your figures do not add up correctly.

3/10 Please see me after class.

Babatunde i thought i was a miserable bastard and augie and Sid even more so

but you take the crown pal

I admit I forgot the OX. So that makes everything dandy then! Ok so minus the Â£13 million and that's a paltry net profit of just the Â£28 million then...

Bring back Pires. I called him 'Glichy' intentionally. If you can't see the reason why I did this, then I shan't explain....

I certainly hope he's seen the light and going back to transfers of old.

To quote Wengers mantra about making superstars we need fairly experienced players, not stars but were 'known' players.
Henry, Overmars and Pires just to name a few were not 'super stars at the time but most of us knew about them.Yes there were a few unknowns but all grew into in becoming 'Greats' for the club.

That's all I want.
Not a big name like Sneijder (sorry flash) or even Benezema (not that I'd complain) but I'd be happy taking players had lost there way in a poor team or a crap league or players that were once thought broken (Overmars & Kanu) and can refind themselves and become a household name.

Merts is a start.

Where did you get the 3 million Troare figure from?

Babatunde · Post by **Babatunde** » Wed Aug 31, 2011 8:41 am

I agree with you Boomer. I still don't see why players like De Rossi, Stekelenburg, Ashley Young and Nilmar haven't been gone for. None of these players are superstars, all of them woulda joined. But after the Old Trafford massacre, only rubbish Koreans will join now......

Eboue 6 million... I didn't think it was quite that high, but if so, we've done an amazing bit of business getting 6 million for him..

De Rossi? He bleeds orange and brown. Possibly the least likely player in the world to ever move away from his club.

eboue 3mil
traore 1mil (3mil!!!

)
and you forgot joel campbell in for 1mil

going by these values: http://www.arsenalreport.com/transfercentre/

post highbury net spending:
06/07: -1/2mil Total: -.5mil
07/08: +17.5mil (henry, reyes out) Total: 17mil
08/09: -21mil (arsh, nasri in) Total: -4mil
09/10: +28mil (ade, kolo out) Total: +24mil
10/11: -9mil (kos, squid in) Total: +15mil
11/12: +22mil (cesc nasri out, gerv, aoc, santos, mertesaker in)

TOTAL +37mil

not including agent/sign-on fees (e.g chamakh's "free") or future fee clauses (e.g fabregas will be another +10, aoc -3 to 5) or loan fees received so probs 40mil+
