Arsenal’s transfer window is completely all over the shop

What I'm saying is, £200M in one window, is not a lot these days.

He’s improved as much as he has because he’s played pretty much week in week out in the PL for a season now, he wouldn’t have had that here last season.

I agree, Wor Mandy did tell us in her first interview that PIF are patient investors, and they've got a plan to be the best in 5 to 10 years. We're in year 4, we've finished in the Champions League spots twice, won a trophy, and if Man City hadn't messed up that final, we'd have been in the Conference League, meaning three years in a row in Europe. Our revenue keeps going up, and it'll probably go up even more this year and next. I don't get where the impatience is coming from. We were told these guys are patient investors. We're being careful and doing things the right way, and we're still doing really well on the pitch.

Personalities and attitudes are poles apart aswell

Looks like Arsenal are after him now.

Hard to say, I’d say both similar quality but very different styles. Not sure Madueke is available mind.

Maybe Chelsea would allow a ‘loan to buy’ like Hall potentially giving us a bit of breathing space.

Old town square Albufeira, pan pipe Indians playing wise men say Portugal has fallen (yes before any cunt asks I’m away)

That would essentially be around £140m though Who the hell would we sign as CB? Or is that going to be this summers RW position. After not signing one last summer, we don't this summer, and roll with Schar, Botman, Burn and Lascelles still

Is Elanga better than Madueke? I really rate him and he’s probably available a bit cheaper than Elanga.

A cult image of all three holding their shirts in same image early July.

Still think we'll need a body at CM.

Grok, please put Margot Robbie's head on Sweeney's body, and give her Daddario's eyes.

And please attach relevant images to help explain your choices

If you had to pick one, who would it be and why?

Maybe, but we're obviously going about it more cautiously and I think we have potential to grow more consistently than Villa. Although we might not feel they are using that advantage enough, we have the wealth and influence of a state behind us and so have more ability to keep increasing commercial revenue over time. The whole purpose of the changes to APT and FMV that the PL brought in, and were found to be unlawful, was that they were concerned that the current rules are inflationary, that they would allow APT deals to be increased over time. Also, the connections that our owners have mean that we have the potential to get better deals from some non-associated parties, for example our deal with Adidas is reportedly double what Villa get.

No doubt it would improve us, but there is not a single name in that lot that really excites me. I think Trafford and Pedro have the potential to be top players. Elanga I’m not sure is a good fit for what we need, and Guehi I’m far from convinced about. For the outlay of probably around 200m I’d not be overly excited. Not that I think we have anything like that amount to spend anyway.

We squeaked Forest, and now they are going to help us upgrade the RW? Would take an insane fee.

I can launch a triple swoop for Sweeney, Daddario and Robbie but we all know how it’s going to go

3/4 were playing for a comically inept ManU side, tbf.

The Luke Edwards kiss of death ffs

For me Simply must sign a top notch right sided centre half. asking our midfield to cover so much ground undid us a few times last season so let's get that issue sorted.

We are getting a squad for this, but like to think approaching it in a better way. Villa route is working for them in short term, but will always say their approach under Monchi will end in tears because only Emery is holding it together. The turnover of players and amount signed isn't financially efficient. All well and good signing someone for £45m and selling them for £45m the following summer to enable some more spending, but the signing on fees/agent costs are just wasted money then.

Looking forward to all three being knocked back.
