Not really the message we want to be sending out. We‘re building momentum at the moment and entertaining an offer for Sonny would set back the excellent work CoNate’s already achieved.

I'll be amazed if this is a transfer. The Turks love a cut price loan..
This is why I don't understand the fear from some fans of spending £60m+ on top players who aren't guaranteed to start every game. To be at the top you need 2 quality players in every position.Ask yourself this. Why have we built a stadium fit for champions? Stop being small mindedwe as fans must change our mentality because the club has changed its
Guess this is the summer we go big, build the core of Contes team for next few seasons.
Each window coming, add additional pieces as needed to maintain/push on (even if that is a 70m Van Dyk as example)
And the Eriksen rumours
Probably a free transfer with subsidised wages?
Still think makes more financial sense for it to be a loan, even if it’s free, but contribute to wages if we need too.
There’s always the chance he gets it together and actually attracts interest in a transfer.
Agree and with 5 subs, champions league and a world cup in the middle of the season i'd say its essential. Everyone would get plenty of minutes. Its why i think we need 2 forward players.
Always liked him, great attitude and a handsome face
Great explanation.
We’ve got the stadium. We’ve got the training facility. We’ve got the manager. Covid has fucked off. We’ve got a cash injection(why?
). What do you all think is the plan? To compete for 4th open your fucking eyes and start to think like winners
I haven't said it does mean that. Like, at all. I've said that people are already preparing excuses for an underwhelming window even though it's only just begun. Said people were extremely smug and claiming we were about to see high levels of spending, but have now switched to 'if we bring in the players Conte wants, who cares?.
It's a ludicrous question because the overwhelming likelihood is that the players Conte wants most aren't all going to be cheap. We don't know who he wants aside from Bastoni (who we understandably can't get) and possibly other links like Lautaro or Pau Torres. They aren't cheap.
Let's see how the window unfolds. I'm not complaining about it at all, just saying that people seem to be preparing already for low spending relative to expectations, and I don't understand why. The likelihood of it all being by Conte's design seems exceptionally low given his own history.
Clutching at straws but a decent sell-on?
Mmm...all those tasty kebabs!
2 weeks in... hmmm
The original club statement read: "the equity injection [a capital increase of up to £150m} provides the club with greater financial flexibility and the ability to further invest on and off the pitch."
It doesn't actually say '£150m transfer warchest', unlike in the rat tabloid headlines sent to print
The statement actually says 'up to £150m', along with 'investments on and off the pitch'
According to reports, current transfers equate to;
£6.26m on the signing of Yves Bissouma
£9.4m on the permanent signing of Cristian Romero
£5.3m on the loan fee of Dejan Kulusevski
£1.5m for the sale of Cameron Carter-Vickers

The fans can be as positive as anything, ultimately the level of ambition shown this summer is out of our hands. Early signs are promising but if we want to be winners then they need to prove it as of now.We’ve got the stadium. We’ve got the training facility. We’ve got the manager. Covid has fucked off.

Fucking bored of the moaners
It's not even July yet for Christ sake!
If we're serious about reeling in Chelsea with our sights even higher I'd say it was absolutely essential
Yes. But some of us, doubt it, ask questions, shit on it. If it was Chelsea or City, or Liverpool, they would look at it, as standard procedure, why not us????
Thanks.
You and RC have totally changed my outlook on transfers.
Yeah, gooners have been trying to blame spending but they're just a complete shambles since they sacked Wenger for "only" winning the FA Cup most years. Spending is pretty much the only thing they've done right, the amount though not what they've spent it on. Kroenke's biggest problem is he's basically just been writing checks for those clowns to set on fire.
