If I had to guess, it'll be £18m or so on Sokratis, £35m on the Turkish lad and another £30m-£40m on a midfielder like Seri or Torreira, which takes us close to the £100m mark.


In retrospect, this post didn't age very well. Our net expenditure didn't exceed £50 million by a lot. In fact, over the last two transfer windows, we've spent slightly less than £50 million on transfer fees.

The EL effect. If it forces us into looking at the torrieras of this world, I'm on board.

Literally an entire first eleven bar Torreira, Lacazette and Aubameyang is needed.

With L'POOL finally losing, our Invincible record is safe. Only, if we could remain competitive, especially of late.
At least Wenger could attract some big names, wonder how much Emery will have success in that regard.
Without big players, we will never win the league, for sure, and the way things are going , it will take very long.

Thank goodness none of our big players left us when Wenger was in charge

And we were so lucky that he attracted worldies like Giroud and Welbeck

Might be time to knee jerk for a few days - Emery has said no new signings in Jan.. only loans.

If we're going for cahill and suarez then loan deals suit us. If suarez isn't up to it or cahill is past it then at least we're not stuck with them!
