If Arsenal do the treble with Rice playing as big a part as Jack Grealish did for us, then he's worth £100m. To them. Big ask though.

So disappointing. No Bellingham now not even Rice. With Gundo gone on top of that we’ll be weaker next season. Better hope Rodri never gets injured, he’s going to have to play about 60 games.

Really fucking gutted we pulled out of this just over a few more million. This is the summer we should have really gone for it, as Treble winners, not let bloody rivals catch up. Fucking shite. Fuck off arsenal.
If we hadn't won/looked like winning the CL it would have been interesting to see what we would have been prepared to do.
Hard to criticise when we've achieved what we have but it does seem we don't like to go for the jugular from an advantageous position and don't mind rivals getting boosts and strengthening considerably. Taking our foot off.


It's like - here you go Pep even more pressure to improve everyone. He's like a get out of jail card for the club.

Yep - gutted we didn't get this over the line. Think we'll regret it.


Ward-Prowse at the very least now please

If he plays a big part in Arsenal staying in the top four every year of his contract then he's worth at £100m to them.
 
1. You understand how amortisation works?

2. £400m is 40% of £1bn

3. Our treble win, whilst boosting revenue somewhat, will also cause a massive increase in wages/bonuses as two dozen clauses will have been triggered.

We’re not going to be spending £1bn. We’re not going to be spending £400m. I very much doubt we get near £200m.
Who said we're spending 400 mil? I said we could if we wanted and still be OK for FFP. I'm a CPA and was a fiscal director for 25 years. Did well enough to retire early and come on here and fuck about with you all. : )

Of course. It's an investment, and like any investment, something of a gamble and, in this case, a bloody big one. But only an imbecile would judge his value to Arsenal before knowing the outcome. They used to do that with Grealish, and they were proved very, very foolish.
 
The squad needs an overhaul to keep things fresh. As it stands we've signed an average footballer in Kovacic who is nowhere near Gundogan's level.

We need an elite midfielder in the middle of the park.

I think Gvardiol will be excellent, but the squad needs to shake more. We have two summers of Pep left, we can't leave the next guy with an ageing squad that needs surgery.
