Along with what you said about me in the Arsenal thread Spawn anyone would think you didn't like me, what was it what I said about Arsenal the other day that did it?

You haven't posted nearly enough of what can be perceived as racial slurs and or references to past tragedies to deserve that tag :mad:

I'm glad you realised you weren't worthy and turned the offer down

That includes a £23mil profit from player sales, which is calculated as profit from player sales vs ONLY the first year amortization of the players we bought.

You sell a player for £20mil, that is £20mil profit that year, you buy a player for £20mil, its only £5mil counted in the loss column over a 4 year contract. The pretty stupid short term thing is, you sell players for £40mil, and buy players worth £40mil(all on 4 year contracts) that season will go down as a £30mil profit... despite spending every penny you made. So our fairly significantly spending will likely go down as only £12mil out or so, vs the what £40mil we brought on from Song/RVP. The second half of the year will look even worse, no player sales and significant pay increases for multiple players meaning wages for second half of the season should be up. Next year, hard to say, wages will go up no doubt, not sure we'll sell anyone of value, we should lose some fairly decent wage earners off the books, but we'll likely buy 1-2 players to replace them.

The simple fact is despite increased tv and sponsorship money in the next couple seasons, we've backed ourselves into a very tight corner. If we'd look to sell Ramsey rather than give him a freaking pay increase, same goes for Gibbs, that is £100k a week and probably £10-15mil between them we might have bought in, giving us some more room to buy some real quality, instead we leave small gaps for improvement, and Wenger will keep buying guys who will accept 60-80k a week in wages.

We should have wages £20-30mil lower than they are, with dead weight gone, giving us plenty of room to add the kind of quality Newcastle have been to round out the team, some top notch first team options.

No it's not. Profit on player sales is simply the difference between a players book value and the amount they're sold for. Amortisation is recorded completely separately from profit on player sales.

I've not seen the accounts but going from the link above, Arsenal have specifically mentioned player trading which I assume means that £23m is a profit on the actual amounts players were bought and sold for rather than having anything to do with either amortisation or whatever figure is recorded on the accounts for profit on player sale.s

edit: Just had a look at the above is correct. Arsenal's actual profit on player sales (the amount sold for - their 'value') was £42.5m. The £23m is the actual difference between the total cost of players sold and bought.

United make gazillions, so I don't think they have anything to worry about. It will be City and Chelsea that struggle.
