I’d argue that Nolito and Fernando did a job for us, the other 3 were just bad moves.

Mangala was £100m-plus down the toilet in fees, agents and wages. An unmitigated disaster. And we even extended his contract on better wages to try and get a fee for him. Though I suspect some amortisation fiddle might have been involved there

Do you think he’d play more, less, or the same? Pep has always stated he only wants players who want to be here, it stands to reason that in that situation Raz would play less as he wants to move on, and by less I mean less than every season he has spent with us, especially if the club sourced a replacement now or in January

Don't think Pep would be that bothered about Razs contract situation & as long as he was putting the effort in training he would be part of the squad. Does Bernardo get the same treatment seeing as he supposedly wants to move on ? Or being a fans favourite does it not apply
 
If Sterling wants to leave and play more games then he would have to improve his performances.
I doubt any team will continuously play an out of form player. I'm sure Pep would have played him more if he had been at the top of his game.

Where the fuck Arsenal are getting all this money from?

This is stolen from a caf thread asking the same question, so caveat emptor and all that ...

Two big shifts occurred that seem to have significantly changed how the Kroenkes operate. First, four years ago they bought out Usmanov and other outstanding shares, then took the club fully private. This allows them to do things with the club financially that were more cumbersome and required much more transparency/public disclosure under the previous ownership model. There is also much more reason to invest in the club to raise its value now that they own all the shares (previously it was kind of counter-productive to invest money into the club to raise its value, as this would just raise the price of the shares held by others, which the Kroenkes were intent on buying). Second, around the same time Arteta arrived, Josh Kroenke became the de facto ownership figure. Stan Kroenke couldn't give a feck about Arsenal and was exactly as disinterested and unambitious as you say. Josh Kroenke is at the very least a lot more interested and involved. He is sort of an oligarch failson but seems to genuinely care about the club's success, has been quite involved in a way that his dad never was previously, and has convinced his father to cough up a fair amount of cash over the last few years.

I don't think Leao can play on the right and Chiesa's had an underwhelming season

Phil looks like he could be moving to the right, according to some reports.

Chiesa's season was dampened down by the injury he had.

True, but all clubs value at least some of their players above their market value to dismiss transfer rumours.

Declan Rice is probably not worth £150m in the current market.

West Ham disagree with that as he‘s worth more than market value to them.

This is the key statement for all the clubs we are buying from. As a player is Phillips worth more / as much as Silva? No. To Leeds who have him under contract? Yes. They wouldn’t be able to replace what he does for them. Is Graelish a 100m player? No. To Villa he was. Sold a ton of. Shirts for them. Marketing Kept them in the PL which alone is worth a ton of money.

Desperation in trying to return to former glories?

There prestige and value has taken a hammering, and all this with a weak rags, Spurs etc.

They need to get back into the top 4 and quickly.

Yep. Same with United. Seems they’re prepared to spend +150m without generating any money through sales. Very risky considering their financial situation.

Pol Ballus also said it in the Athletic that it's expected that only Phillips and Cucurella come in.

it’s all part of the same agenda I assume… half of our squad want out and they won’t be replaced…. All part of making opposition fans feel good over the summer.

If only he had kicked on from that Chelsea game. He played like prime Baresi in that game.

So that would be
Phillips for Fernandinho
Alvarez for Jesus
Haaland for sterling
Cucurella for zinchenko (maybe)

I still feel like we need a big forward signing, but looking at it we have the same numbers as last year but vastly improved

If this was to be the case I still think we need another lb/rb depending on which side pep sees cancelo playing on .
And a winger with pace .
