I think its time we start talking about this...

Many, many sources (including Sky and Ornstein) have said this number is accurate for our transfer budget.

The question I want to ask - is how???

The last 2 transfer windows we have spent money - but gross, not NET.

Aubameyang, Mikhi, Lacazette were offset by Ox, Giroud, Walcott, Gibbs, Sanchez, Gabriel, Coquelin, Szczesny.

We have not had a net spend in quite some time. Why do we only have £50m?? Wheres the money?? What is going on? I refuse to believe that a club the size of Arsenal has this minuscule budget.

is it Kroenke? is it our structure? It certainly cant be Wenger anymore...
 
Well we effectively paid £77 million for Aubamayang.

£52 million plus a £15million signing on fee.

He's World Class but thats rather pricey considing his age.
 
£50m - Just basing this of the current most up to date rumours.

Sell:
Mustafi
Perez
Elneny
Iwobi
Ospina
Jenkinson
Akpom
Campbell
Asano

Looking at a minimum £45million for that lot.

Buy:
(Based on current transfer rumours.)

Kondogbia (Valencia) - Approx £30million or William Carvalho.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos(Dortmund) - FREE
Max Meyer (Schalke) - FREE
Bernd Leno (Leverkusen) - £15m
Çağlar Söyüncü (Freiburg) - £15m
Seri £30million


----------------------------------Leno-----------------------------------------
Bellerin----------Socratis--------------Koscielney----------Kolasinac
-------------------------------Kondogbia-------------------------------------
---------Mkhitarian------------Ozil--------------Seri/Ram----------------
------------------------------Aubamayang-----------------------------------

Bench: Meyer, Söyüncü, Wellbeck, Monreal, Lacazette, Xhaka, Cech.
Wilshere, Mavroponos, Maitland-Niles.

Thats a team easily strong enough to be mounting a serious challenge.

You are not going to mount a serious challenge with only 10 players.

Sokratis wont be free, he will cost in the region of £15m.

I would love Kondogbia, but dont think that will happen.

Still think we should have far more money to spend, not sure where its all going.

Oh yeah? - there were rumours floating around he was out of contract this Summer?

Still I think he would be a decent signing. My first choice for CB would be Koulibali - but he would cost 50+. Manolas is another decent option.
 
On top of that I could also mean..

That Minislat will make some signings (Socratis, Leno, Meyer possibly) and a £50million budget will be left for additional signings chosen by the next manager?

Is that really how it works? Sounds a bit to much like the old football manager tactic of 'pay in monthly instalments to trick the transfer budget'

Most clubs pay in instalments.

T+Cs depend on how much leverage each side
has on each other. For example, Madrid were able
to get Bale from Spurs AFAIK in 4 instalments (due
to the state-sponsored summer unsettling) . Citeh
OTOH had to pay nearly all of the money upfront for
Walker (they had no leverage) .

£50m EXTRA amortised on top of what we already pay amortised just seems too good to be true.

Amortised now doesn't even seem like a real word because I've read it so many times.
