Transfer Rumour Oleksander Zinchenko

I think their net spend is about treble ours in recent years, if not more
FFP is not all about transfer spending. Its about income and expenditure. Arsenal have far greater income than we do so they can out spend us by millions and still not incur the kind of losses we do
 
I'm not convinced this lad was all that anyway. I'm also not sure where he plays in Arsenal's side. They've got a pretty well stocked midfield and an excellent left back. He wasn't free, so we were never in this one anyway.
 

Wait, so we are free spending disasters in danger of FFP, and yet there are only like 4 clubs who have spent less than us in the past 5 years?

Thing that's killed us is wages mate, and sacking managers.

Last 5 years we paid comp to both Saints and I believe Watford for Koeman and the Silva tapping up I believe, then had to pay off Koeman, Silva, Allardyce and Benetez - probably to the tune of 50m+ fir all that alone (conservative estimate) two DoFs Walsh and Brands both paid off too, and all of those managers host if cos hing staff they brought with all had to have their contracts paid off too.

We've likely sank close on 70m in compensation payments in five years just on staff...

Throw on top of that we've been paying massive wages in comparison to our none big six competition and that's why we are in such a financial mess in terms of P&S

He'll be LB cover when Tierney is out injured his usual 5 months.

You'd need your head testing to pay 30m for a "midfielder" who plays not-LB for 5 games a year.

Let alone the agents fees.
We've been done like kippers
