You can't raise your wage bill by £7m a season apparently, so giving Sanchez and Özil close to the £300k they both want they will fail, especially when they are adding in Lacazette and possibly Lemar.

well we have a 200m surplus accumulated over the last 10 years, which is why I doubt ffp and this %7 pay rise will affect us, surely we can give players some of that money as signing on fee if need be, its money the club made so unless there are new rules that only apply to Arsenal where you cant spend the money you generate, I dont think we have any financial restrictions, that cant be legitimately got round.
You need to read up on the new premier league ffp that your club and that k_nt Gill fast tracked.

The limit is on what % wage increase you can do per annum. That said I have no idea if the figures being touted here are true.
Edit - I checked, 7m is the limit on the increase of base player costs I.e. Wages (excluding bonuses). Any club with a wage bill sub 67m can increase up to 67m without issue. So Arse will be limited to 7m I would think!
Interesting!

"Clubs can exceed this £7m cap if they generate increased revenue from commercial income, player trading and Match Day income"
These are not new rules, it was 4m a year before, and now 7m a year. The 200m profit generated under the old restrictions get carried forward, so we can spend as we please, on wages.

£200m profit?
£200m profit?
Yes, we make 3m a home match, and weve been selling our best players for a decade, as you should know, all these are not included in the 7m, the 7m is only to do with the TV deal.
This new rule has been very poorly reported, and interestingly only mentioned when Arsenal were trying to sign players.
The 7m cap is on the new TV deal income, so basically you are only allowed to spend 7m more from the TV income, on wages.
Nothing to do with gate money, prize money, commercial revenue, player sales. Its pretty much irrelevant.
Otherwise, you wouldnt be able to sign Sanchez, Bernardo Silva, Kyle walker, the goal keeper, and only add 7m in wages?
or Everton signing all these players, or Liverpool, pretty much every team's wage bill next season will be more than 7m higher than this, you can clearly see that using common sense.
Unless there is a special rule that only applies to Arsenal, as the papers seem to insist.
