Summer Transfer Thread 2019

Not sure about that. Selling Sanchez resulted in you signing Mikhi and giving Ozil a massive contract. Out of the frying pan, into the fire springs to mind.

Ozil contract wasn’t the best, but I think Mkhi has done more for us than Sanchez ever did for Utd. I mean, truthfully, did you even imagine for one second, that he would score more goals for us than Sanchez did for Utd? He’s not even playing for them, and still costing them wads of cash.

It’s also sad in a way. I will never know the reason for the drop off in Sanchez. It was literally off a cliff. I’d love to have a crystal ball, just to see how he would have done if he would have stayed with us past Wenger and under Emery. Although, that probably would have stopped us from signing a golden boot winner.
 
We have now shaved nearly £46m off the wage bill this summer thanks to clearing out the dead wood. Cech, Welbeck, Iwobi, Kos, Mkhi, Monreal, Elneny. All big earners.

I would be stunned if you got £46m off the wage bill with those players gone unless you are totalling their entire remaining contracts. As Baz says, you have replaced those guys with far more expensive players wage wise.

Well what I actually meant was that with all those players gone, we shaved £46m a year off the wage bill, but obviously a lot of that has been replaced with new signings.

The new signings have an approx annual wage bill of £22.4m. That leaves us £23.6m a year better off with wages. Tierney, Ceballos and Martinelli combined are earning £5k a week less than Mkhitaryan was!

I'll bet any amount you want that when Arsenal's accounts for this season come out, you wouldn't have reduced your wage bill by £20m.

Do you honestly believe that Pepe, your record signing by a distance, is joining you for much less (if at all) than what your highest earners are on? Tierney, Ceballos and Luiz will all be earning £100k+ per week too. I have no idea who this Martinelli guy is but the 4 other signings alone will account for at least £30m in wages. Reports in Italy, unsurprisingly, are that you're paying a chunk of Mikhi's wages and I'm certain you'll be paying most if not all of Saliba's wages while he's at St Etienne too. There will no doubt be clauses in deals (and or new deals) for certain youngsters that have broken into the first team and new deals to various senior players - there's already reports of new deals for Auba and Laca on the cards.
