Wasn't counted twice.

He was a promising young centre back. Was one of the best in the academy along side Chips and Mushy Peas.

According to me. It's certainly more reliable than a few guys on an internet forum saying "no there's definitely no way that's right."
-
McTominay, Greenwood, Pellistri, Fernandez, Kambwala, Van De Beek, Wan Bissaka, Pellistri, Fish, Mejbri. It's a lot more than £100m, I was just being conservative so I don't get accused of making up figures.
-
I said 3 out of 4 signings. Yoro, Mazraoui and Zirkzee are all £110k or under. De Ligt is on £195k. Ugarte will probably be around the £200k mark. Whats mental is that Yoro, Mazraoui, Zirkzee, De Ligt and Ugarte won't be on much more combined that what Varane and Martial were on.

Fair point to be honest. It's properly mental.

Believe it. The most reliable wage website has it as a confirmed amount. It's also very normal for a free transfer to get much higher wages. Either way, we're handing the likes of Zirkzee contracts around £100k a week. It's a big shift from where we've been before. Young, hungry players on modest contracts. Casemiro and Rashford are currently the only two out of place on the wage structure, and Casemiro will be gone in 12 months time. Just waiting until deadline day now where we signed Sterling for £40m and give him £300k a week.

Correction. We used to spend huge amounts of wages and transfer fees. 3 of our 4 summer signings so far are on less money than Lloyd Kelly. Our business this summer has been shrewd. We've raised over £100m by selling fringe players, and added some real quality to the squad.
-
£42m + £8m in add ons. Still chances for Sancho, Lindelof and Eriksen to leave. Either way our max net spend will be £80-90m but likely lower when Sancho almost certainly goes. Newcastle's currently £43m plus whatever Vlachodimos cost? There's not a great deal in it. Just not liking the idea that we're out splashing money like Chelsea. We've bought and sold very well. The Ashworth effect.
-
I'm not sure I've seen an example of a manager being so cold about players who have done nothing wrong. His comments almost read like satire.
-
We've sold £107m worth of players, most of them homegrown talent so good for PSR. We've spent £147m on Zirkzee, De Ligt, Mazraoui and Yoro. Our net spend this window is roughly £40m.

People referring to players as "purples."

Arsenal 2 - 1 Brighton Brentford 2 - 1 Southampton Everton 1 - 1 Bournemouth Ipswich 0 - 1 Fulham Leicester 1 - 2 Villa Forest 2 - 1 Wolves West Ham 0 - 2 Man City Chelsea 3 - 0 Palace Newcastle 1 - 1 Spurs Man United 1 - 2 Liverpool

Or you could have just been a bit better and finished higher.
-
Aye but Sancho is the more valuable player by far. The only way I think we agree to this is if there's a financial incentive for us.
-
Mental to say but I'd swap Sterling for Sancho in a loan deal if it meant we were paying less wages. I think we'd get more out of him than Sancho.
-
That's £150m Arsenal Rice.
-
£100m Declan Rice for one.
-
De Ligt was the starter. A complete myth that he wasn't and incredibly annoying when the info is there for people to see. Ugarte was too defensive for Luis Enrique and can't carry the ball forward. One of the best defensively in Europe by all metrics mind. We don't need him to carry the ball forward, we just need him to cover the space in front of the back four and then give it to Mainoo and Fernandes to bring it forward. They're both great signings, and most sensible people know it.

His forearm is on his neck. He could have died. Jow Bradshaw Layfield.
-
He's missing his head now so they need to replace him.

Shaw is never fit.
