He had a medical and signed a contract then Arsenal broke the agreement, you are looking at damages at least, we flew people out to him to get this sorted because Arsenal agreed to sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the hell did Man City get 90 million? I'm not ignoring anything, I'm presenting the facts as they are. You haven't got that money yet so it isn't relevant. Also net spend doesn't mean much you still spent £180+ million on new players, the second most in the league. The excuse that Conte wasn't backed is absolute bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,182 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I think the transfer fees this year are fucking grotesque. Our net spend is fairly reasonable considering we made two very expensive signings (though in this market I think Salah's fee looks pretty decent, considering it's looking like he's making an already good front 3 even better). But if we'd signed VVD and Lemar, I'm pretty sure we'd be the biggest spenders this summer by a decent amount. Feels good our side can flex it's financial muscle and that we look to be at a point where our top choice players actually want to come here. But again, I don't really like this insane money in football. These sums are fucking mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand City don't have a leg to stand on, he's Arsenal's player until they agree to release him from his contract. Arsenal agreed a 60million fee and contracts was signed with Arsenal agreeing a sale, a big bill would of been run up with the people involved in this transfer and Sanchez and his people was robbed of a pay day too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excuse that Conte wasn't backed is absolute bollocks Spanish window closes tonight, and I'm presenting the fact that whether Costa leaves today or in January, he will not be playing another game for us. His valuation is at 40 million, to which Atletico have accepted. So yes, it's kind of relevant. Another player gone that needed to be replaced. Net spent doesn't mean much when you spend 180 million on players? Right, because we didn't just have 11 players leave at ridiculously low prices for today's market standards, whilst bringing in only 6. And we still managed the largest amount received. Taking that into consideration with League title win and new Sponsorship profits, your last statement is deliberate ignorance with all said in mind. The books are balanced.

The other 3 there's at least an articulable reason behind the choice. But either way he'd be a backup striker, why not do that at the club with a less strict wage structure and a better squad overall? Because apparently Chelsea never submitted a bid that Swansea accepted so he couldn't really reject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now absolutely and you'd bank on this being consistently the case over the next 5 years at least based on the way things stand. Based on the way spurs are run it seems quite sustainable where they have wound up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was instead of City or Chelsea then okay but Sanchez has done better for himself at Arsenal than he would have done at Liverpool in the same time span.

Who knows how different our position would be now if he'd joined when Suarez left.... entirely possible BR would still be in the job and that miserable champions league campaign of 14/15 could have gone differently.
