January 2018 transfer window thread.

Not sure what that has to do with the numbers someone asked for, but okay.

well weve spent £52 million on players but have had over £125m in JUST tv money..

what I'm getting at is we haven't really splashed a whole lot of cash on improvements, weve sold our best players and replaced them with mediocre ones despite the boards best efforts.

at least we should have plenty in the bank for more signings tho.

All things told, I do think the figures are something like around 70m Net Spend in the last 18months, probably less if anything.

Thats as it stands today with Tosun, Barkley, Mirallas, Jones and Walsh.

These are 2 different things, has the money been invested correctly? No, but the money was made available, its a different discussion really.

Lad,do you even watch football or have you just been on a 3 day bender ?

Probably neither tbh - he`s just a former banned poster, who is a bit mad

You asked me how can we spend that kind of money to be mid table.

We were mid table before moshiri came in. I think you are saying the only money we have spent has been from player sales and the extra tv money that everyone is getting.

Can I ask you a question?

Why do you think without extra investment you think there is any more ambition than staying where we already where i.e. mid table?

Yeah Walcott has lost his pace.

In the bin.

lol lol

 

[blue to the bone]

He never recovered from his ACL. Lennon is better.

He's not.

Unfortunately I think so has Bolasie but hopefully it's just a bit early.

Dowell is looking good though.

 

[Boss_Rarkley]

Zaha giving Palace him until end of the season
Tierney
Nzonzi

Get those 3 in and pray Tosun is the business and we'll look in much better shape.

 

[chopper6]

you can't write Walcott off after that performance alone. Nearly any & every player struggles when not playing regularly.

Playing week in week out, in my opinion we'd see a better player.

I'd still like him

My biggest issue with Walcotts performance there was he just looked really passive. But the whole arsenal team looked bad

Walcott hasn't lost his pace at all

 

[blue to the bone]

How can people say Lennon is better then Walcott. Based on what. Walcott maybe is not as good as he was at his peak but he's better then Lennon .

 

[Boss_Rarkley]

Walcott and Lennon neither are good enough.

Zaha or Mahrez and make a statement.

 

[trueblue10]

Would be an absolute no from me too.

I'd take Wenger tho, Arsenal fans calling for his head on BBC 606
