No, your naive to think that Kroenke doesn't get money filtered off. Anyway, it's more in terms of money that has been invested into the club. Overall investment has been poor.. They have been left behind by the likes of Chelsea/City because of a business model which has precedence over football. I can't just get my head around your blame towards Wenger, but not the board. What interest does Kroenke having about the success of Arsenal? More blame should be pointed towards him, not Wenger, who in my opinion has shown nothing but commitment.

How much extra money would Arsenal bring in for finishing 1st rather than 4th and winning the Champions League rather than getting to the quarters? I'd guess it's hell of a lot less than the amount of money Arsenal would need to spend to actually be in with a chance of winning either.
Money?
Few mil extra. Overall money for winning the CL will be quite a bit more i reckon, over 20 million maybe, that's complete conjecture though. Could be more or less..
Care to expand?
I don't believe this personally. There will be loop holes, just because we don't know about them, doesn't mean they arent there.

Reckon Dzeko wouldn't mind moving from City, Spurs should make a bid for him.

The whole point Trusty is that Kronke could have taken every single penny of the 150mil on the books in Arsenal's named bank accounts at any time he wanted COMPLETELY LEGALLY, and what you are suggesting is instead he's filtering off miniscule amounts COMPLETELY ILLEGALLY which could land him in jail. Which makes perfect sense doesn't it.......
Owners looking to take money from a club do not sell 100mil of players and plough that money straight back into player purchases.
This is not a club making 50mil profit a year, this is a club spending the majority of what it gets, spending heavily in wages, spending in the transfer market when we sell big players. The club spends what it brings in, and has little to no success.
Again I've pointed out, if we were spending at Spurs level and getting 5th every year Arsenal would be a significantly MORE profitable club, more money for the board to apparently steal(despite being... their money) from the club, but they don't.
Just because Arsenal can't afford 200mil a year in wages(neither can Utd, Chelsea or City btw) doesn't mean we can't use what we are spending better. Diaby has received above 15mil in his time at Arsenal, to play a handful of games, most not very well. That is pure waste, and there are countless players Wenger has wasted money on.
Wenger say Gervinho and thought he was worth 14mil and 3mil a year... he was wrong, he thinks Diaby is useful to the club, he's wrong, he thought Arshavin was worth 15mil and 5mil a year and decided not to use him for 2 years, he saw Squillaci and thought great defender, he sticks by Sagna despite him being terrible, he bought Santos, he pushed Pires, Reyes, Gilberto out of the club for replacements he thought were significantly better, he was wrong.
The board are irrelevant, if we had 50mil or 500mil, Wenger is spending what he gets poorly, he's unable to organise a defence in the past 8 years, we have zero actual tactics, we can't win big games, we can't manage a cup run(while teams on 30mil wage budgets CAN).
The money is ONE issue, everything directly under the influence of the manager is all being done poorly. Wenger IS to blame, it's really that simple. The board is not responsible for Wenger's choice to play a injury carrying Fabregas against a truly physical Stoke a week before the only final we'd gotten to in 5 years..... Wenger did that.
Wenger isn't doing jobs that are unquestionably under his control(tactics, team choice, choosing players to buy/sell, how we spend the budget he is given) well enough, many other teams with FAR smaller budgets have won things in the past 8 years, NO other team spending as much as we do has won nothing in the past 8 years..... finances are therefore not the issue.

Because Dzeko is very clearly first team, with a huge wage Spurs can't remotely hope to match? If Mancini was still there ignoring him, he might be up for a move. Pelligrini has made it clear Dzeko is his guy this season, no chance he wants to leave this season.

Aguero and Negredo will end up being first choices ahead of Dzeko in a few games.
Our daily twitter report claims Moses may have medical by tomorow and be in stand for our game vs utd, so if true that's Lori,Sakho,Moses having medicals over weekend. Not a bad transfer window by us really
More out of mild interest than anything else, but surely it would take a day or so to register a player with EPL after their medical?
Edit - Any club spending at Spurs level EVERY year would be in severe debt no matter where they end up in the league ( at least before this new tv deal) . No club is going to find a Bale like player to flog every 5 years let alone every single season.
If you are seloing half the 1st team squad to generate the same cash, not only will it be harder to attract the top talent for the next season, there are huge risks in whether so many changes will gel together.

I think it can be done pretty quickly if need be, but clubs rarely rush it as they're happy for players to settle in and get to know their team before playing. One of the promoted sides played somebody last weekend a day after signing him.
Not sure it would, FA would know that there is little time left so more than likely process it quicker? I mean none of the three would play for us tomorrow realistically so would be able to watch and we could probably announce it they just couldn't play till the game after
