Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

You wonder why Arsenal are vulnerable.

Arsenal looking at cumulative losses of circa £250m over the last three seasons. Stadium debt and other structual debt has increased from £175m to £350m. Total debt including player monies owed and Barclays approaching £500m.

Makes your eyes water

Lets keep this in mind when we start clammering to build a mega stadium - Spurs in the same boat as well

I suspect our stadium development will be fully funded and baked in to the value of the club not loans like those 2. I also suspect we're looking at a significantly less extravagant budget for it the London effect works negatively for clubs sometimes.

Tottenham got loads of it paid by taxpayers, didn't they?

There's was a complete knockdown and rebuild though.  Can't see us ever doing that, I reckon North Stand gets done in the next five years, then the Witton after that.

Yep. I'm not even sure if they'll do the Witton, it's hard to see what they can do to increase the capacity with the space they've got to work with.

Yet they’re still likely to spend a fortune. Heavily linked to various players and may be spending £50m on Ben White.

You start to realise why the ESL interested them.

Yep, there's plenty of reasons why the work on our ground won't cost anything like the same as those 2.

[Rodders]

Let us not forget that Sawaris has a substantial stake in Lafarge (cement producer) and owns a construction and engineering firm.

Those pulling the purse strings on the eventual B6 redevelopment have more than an inkling about what they're doing - more, say, than their  shiny-shoed, emoji loving, smart city-toting shyster predecessor.

[villadelph]

What about Ward-Prowse, is that dead? And, apols if i missed it, but is Douggeee definitely not going back to Citeh?

If half of these players join, I can see Sanson quickly departing, Ramsey going out on-loan for a year and Hourihane given a season loan somewhere while we pay most of the last 12 months of his wages.

Have we given up on Sanson already? Smith was suggesting when we bought him that the club had been tracking him for some time...

I'd read he was 'difficult to manage' whatever that means.

Any quotes or other information?

His family are Portsmouth supporters and want him out.

[DrGonzo]

Sanson's family are Portsmouth supporters? =O  I'm still expecting CB and DM...  All well and good getting these here Fancy Dans in but we still looked flakey at the back last year.

I want a DM AND more FDs.

I think we’re all right for CBs.

One DM is no good, you need a pair.

Three if you are 1-0 up.

I think Arsenal and Spurs are there for the taking. They can't afford to put up a fight. I think all they're doing is moving the deckchairs to make it look like nothings changing. That the old order is still in tact. I hope that's the case anyway. I'm wondering if our owners have smelt blood and are looking to gatecrash the party. I certainly hope so 😁

With managerial uncertainty at Spurs and Everton, Arteta always being on the edge of crisis, it remains to be seen of Moyes can repeat at West Ham or was it just an anomaly given his more recent PL record, and if Bielsa can elevate Leeds, we have a legitimate chance to attack the top 6.
