not sure how exact, but this would save roughly 720k p/w......

Cheers mate out of reacts.. so even more then.

Why are Olsen and Chambers worth zero though haha?

Are their contracts up in summer or has their stock just hit rock bottom?

I just want to reiterate... that as unlikely as it is... The same Manager got Villareal to the Champions League semi final at a club with lesser resources... Just saying...

Coutinho

Chambers

Sanson

Dendonker

Hause

Lenglet

Zaniolo

Let's conservatively average 50 k per week in wages ( 350 k x 4  = 1.4 million per month ) 16,800,000 off the books in wages.

Then let's say 15 mill in combined transfer fees for that lot. ( Aside from the ones on loan OBS )

CIRCA 30 mill total saved + brought in?

Aside from all the new sponsorships and income etc

Hope they are not increasing capacity by putting in smaller seats

Are you kidding? Luiz is one of our main key players and would be one of the few ‘not for sale’ for me.  Not even an argument that I’d sell both Duran and JJ before Luiz.

With JJ I'm coming from a place heavily rained with sentiment. With Duran I'm coming from a place of age and ceiling... So yeah... Out of the three... I'd choose him.

I feel we could get another very good midfielder... Easier than we could replace the other two.

Reiterating would rather sell or lose none of them.

If not Ramsey, who else would you sell? 

Champions League will get us a minimum of 50 million from what I've seen... And this is also the rumoured " hole " so I don't see why we would NEED to do anymore than offload/sell fringe players and high earners to be able to wheel and deal.

We also need to take into consideration all the new sponsorships we have and will secure.

PLUS I'm sure our people are smart enough to know how to manoeuvre account. Savvy one year loan to buy deals etc.

Lmao, we just made the CL. We aren't selling JJ and Jhon. 

I hate everything about the selling reports...

I'd rather lose Luiz than JJ or Duran.

Would prefer to lose none.

I'd have Grealish back in heartbeat. Playing for his boyhood club in the CL under Emery is bound to be an attractive proposition to him and Pep clearly has no trust him. Emery loves his midfielders carrying the ball up the pitch from deep which is what Grealish is perfect at. He's still best mates with McGinn and Watkins. His goals and assists for City last season are dreadful for a player of his calibre - he really is being wasted there.

I would have thought Monchi's earned the right to be given more than a company potato for filming purposes.

It's a much larger photo.

I just spotted the screen and zoomed ALL the way in and cut a few times lol

Grabbed and cut this from a Monchi post on IG ...

Pity they have no money 

Consistently the richest broke club I've ever seen.

We don’t. We might choose to do it, but we don’t *need* to.

Yeah I reckon now the only way it happens is if we see an opportunity to get a player or two even better than whoever we would be selling with the money.

Ugarte makes more sense than Soler from PSG but I’m not opposed to both.

Both would be good indeed

After mention of us looking for wingers, hoping Leeds fail tomorrow cause Summerville looks absolutely electric I would think would be our main target (Nico Williams probably our dream target but looks unrealistic with Barcelona intrest) 

Is he a left sided winger?

If this is the one I'm thinking of, isn't he meant to be a prodigious talent and people were scratching heads when he went to Saudi?

I think you missed Cash and Duran from the list. I think Emery trusts him now for next season. I think we'll keep Olsen as 3rd choice keeper and Gauci get more opportunities.

I think another CM is key and think Hermoso being added will have our squad in good shape. 

It's the about what else we can do with player trading and additions. I feel like we are an attacker short. A versatile forward who can play across front line. 

I think we'll look to upgrade right back also. 

As much as some people would like as well, we can't simply just tear the team apart in one summer.

We need some sort of continuity and phased change. Both for morale AND performance.

Them: " Unai... How many attackers do you need? "

Unai: " Yes "

Bailey to get the assist for Watkins at Palace hopefully.

Bailey gets his double figure assists, Watkins gets his 20, and we all have a party.

Or have a fist fight when Bailey chooses to score instead of give Ollie the tap in for his 20th

I knew this was going to be spun once I saw the photo.

Now seeing them say " You can tell he grew up an Arsenal fan " lol.

Photos can be misleading AF .

We don't know if he was celebrating before or after this moment.

Ollie has never seemed the overly emotional one way or another type anyway. With expression I mean

Don't wanna put a downer on it. But we have limped over the line with all our injuries, we need to spend around 200 mill to get anywhere near a trophy next season I would think.

Scenes when people are having a meltdown about us not going full strength against Barnsley in the League Cup in preparation for Inter Milan 3 days later.
