just reading around and all if not most rags are saying our net spend is # 46 million how can they tell that when they do nt even know what our real budget is if it was # 100 million then we are in profit by quite a bit i do nt really know what they base there assumptions on this is where you could do with swiss ramble to dissect what really was spent from what i could see most of our 5 transfers were covered by out goings and c / l monies earned debuchy - vela deal, chambers - vermalen deal, ospina - cesc and miquel deals sanchez c / l monies and other monies recovered from wages and old installment based deals this is the same with welbeck i would imagine if not then poldolski will be sold in jan to cover this as i think he was going to be sold and this would have covered welbecks transfer more or less also and people do nt always realize that arsenal have money coming in from more than one source to cover transfers not just puma and emirates deals we have property arm of the club which makes money for transfers also outstanding debts we are owed of old transfers we receive each year on song cesc maybe van persie and all other structured deals in installment payments sales we just flogged miquel as an example and all the monies from released wages and youths sold its a bit to complex to just say we have a net spend of xyz when arsenal do nt even make the budget public so they have no starting point from which to go from i bet you we have broke even or even made a slight profit as we are self sustaining it would make sense that we can break even or at least make the net spend under # 10 million each year at least screw then all we are the arsenal we do thing our way

there is no doubting that Arsene has helped to provide us with some incredible footballing moments in the formative years of his managerial career at Arsenal, but that certainly doesn't and shouldn't mean that he has earned the right to decide when and how he should leave this club... there have been numerous managers at each of the biggest clubs in Europe throughout the last decade who have waged far more successful campaigns than ours yet somehow and someway each were given their walking papers because they failed to meet the standards laid out by the hierarchy of their respective clubs... of course that doesn't mean that clubs should simply follow the lead of others, especially if clubs of note have become too reactionary when it comes to issues of termination, for whatever reasons, but there should be some logical discourse when it comes to the setting of parameters for a changing of the guard... in the case of Arsenal, this sort of discourse was largely stifled when the higher - ups devised their sinister plan on the eve of our move to the Emirates... by giving Wenger a free pass due to supposed financial constraints he, unwittingly or not, set the bar too low... it reminds me of a landlord who says he will only rent to «professional people» to maintain a certain standard then does a complete about face when the market is lean and vacancies are up... for those who rented under the original mandate they of course feel cheated but there is little they can do, except move on, especially if the landlord clearly cares more about profitability than keeping their word... unfortunately for the lifelong fans of a football club it's not so easy to switch allegiances and frankly why should they, in most cases we have been around far longer than them... so how does one deal with such an untenable situation... do you simply shut - up and hope for the best, do you place the best interests of those with only self - serving agendas above the collective and pray that karma eventually catches up with them, do you run away with your tail between your legs and only return when things have ultimately changed, do you keep trying to find silver linings to justify your very existence, do you lower your expectations by convincing yourself it could be worse or do you stand up for what you believe in by holding people accountable for their actions, especially when every fiber of your being tells you that something is rotten in the state of Denmark

Never rated him and never will, mid table keeper who has for no reason been given ample amount of chances like other «favourites» onto other topics hearing some worrying rumours thst other clubs are sniffing around akpom, big mistake if we dnt tie him down y have we let it go dwn to the wire with him.

Chance of making, he plays like a kid in the playground following the ball around instead of staying close to his man or any other attacking threat, it's no coincidence he was nearly bombed out the club in the summer before Gabriel went and we decided to keep him.

It is bad enough for Arsenal fans when there is a transfer window open and we have to wait and wait without the club spending money while Arsene Wenger gives a gallic shrug of the shoulders and tells us that he really is working hard but there is just nobody out there, except that all of the other clubs in the Premier League and around Europe seem to be able to track down these shy and elusive creatures called professional footballers.

Had Paul Pogba, Mario Goetze, Marco Reus, Ikay Gundogan and any of those other world beaters at other clubs been around during the hard times, they would be just as bajanxed as the ones we have and the reverse is true.Had Aaron Ramsey been at Barcelona, Juventus, Borrusia Dortmund during their bright periods, they would be world beaters.

The other part of your post regarding Usmanov selling his shares could come true, if he feels there is no point in hanging around if he thinks there is no chance of him getting on the Board of Directors at Arsenal or take overall control, the only reason he will stick around is because he is a fan of the club, not just a very rich man trying to squeeze very penny from the club to prop up his other franchises.

The fact is that the TV deal with the Premier League makes all of us English clubs loaded compared to almost every other club around Europe and I think that prices go up accordingly, especially when more than one of us is interested in a player.

In a way I understand that Wenger wants Wilshere to play as much football as possible in order to get his career back on the right track, but seeing the amount of interest in our midfielder, with The Mirror reporting that as many as 22 clubs from the Premier League and the other top leagues around Europe want him, you have to question the wisdom of sending him out on loan.

Yes i totally agree with Ramsey we're now started to see some positive players players that have an ambition to bring back our invisible Gunners out of darkness we tired of being laughing @ from other football club fans around the world we tired of being aiming higher and end up be to button of our rivals Afc is a very outstanding world class fc for God sake we have all the potential to take our club to the highest level so come on Wenger let's do it also glad to see the way Wenger treated Morenho on Sunday & I'll love to see Wenger do the same every time they meet in public place until Morenho realize his arrogant behavior towards Wenger.

Sad when ex-players from opposition teams and current managers of other teams are more positive about the Arsenal team than their own fans — whom instead of supporting the team and rallying around the club do their utmost to undermine it.

Fiszman influenced other shareholders to sell to Kroenke, although Peter Hill - Wood famously said of Kroenke «We don't want his type at the club», words that will forever resound around the halls of the Emirates....

When armchair amateurs actually genuinely believe that they have all the answers to matters which hundreds and thousands of other professional and experts at football clubs all around the world are working on 24/7 to resolve then you can be pretty sure these looney - tunes are clueless or delusional — probably both, and over-dosing on childish self - entitlement.

So yes our first team squad will obviously be gone in 2 years, but worry not Wenger will sign an other new contract in 2 years and will be around to steady the ship and lead this great club (that will be renamed to «Arsene» sall» as part of his contract extension) to a better future.

The negativity seems to be building up as a result of this passive behaviour of the club whilst other clubs seem to moving forward, strengthening their squad, improving their playing style, creating a little momentum and feelgood energy around their clubs.

The report claims that Arsenal and Chelsea, along with other clubs around Europe including Real Madrid, could be set for the same sanctions that Barcelona were hit with and for the same reason, the way that signing young players has been done in breach of FIFA rules.

Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!

Four of the clubs around us are playing each other on Sunday with West Ham travelling to face Tottenham and then Southampton hosting Liverpool later in the day.

My assumption is that rumours of Liverpool (and others) sniffing around Manuel Lanzini and the comical # 9 million interest by Everton in Winston Reid are no more than wishful thinking on the part of the clubs involved.

There seemed to be a real sense of optimism around Everton when the club from Merseyside blew off about # 140 million on roping in a host of quality players from other fellow clubs from the country and those from abroad.

There is still quite a wait for the fans of Real Madrid and the other clubs around the big football leagues in Europe, with the first games of the new La Liga season still almost two months away.

The visitors may indeed have other priorities — i.e staying in the division but they will fancy themselves to get something from Old Trafford to take back to the KCOM stadium, as nothing beats reaching a cup final than beating one of the favourites, which could do a world of good for the atmosphere around the club, which at the moment is nothing but toxic
