Summer Transfer Thread - Non Spurs Transfers + Rumours

Well these financial results are from June 2013, which would be before Joe's loan and before last summer's transfer activities. We have the new TV deal kicking in this season which should increase our revenues by about 40 million with no increase in expenses, and we also have the new sponsorship deal with AIA to come as well.

Specifically states the capitol investment from Joe and the AIA deal.

In addition to acquiring the non-core properties and financing the Phase 1 build, ENIC has supported the Club by way of an interest free, unsecured loan of £40m. This loan will be converted, subject to shareholder approval, into non-voting preference share capital. A circular will be dispatched to shareholders in due course.

We were delighted to be able to announce, subsequent to this period, a record new shirt partnership with one of the world’s leading insurance companies, AIA, for the next 5 years. AIA is the largest independent, publicly listed Pan-Asian life insurance group and we now have the opportunity to further extend our fan base in the Asian and Oceania continents.

Also mentions the stadium.

The sale of the properties has extinguished the Club's property borrowing which had accumulated over the last decade - a decade which has seen the club acquire over 18 acres of land, successfully relocate 72 businesses, with the majority staying in the area, and invest in excess of £100m in the stadium project.

The only thing is Khedira does like to go forward and so does Ramsey and I actually think you may see this

Giroud
Sanchez --- Ozil --- Walcott
Arteta ---- Khedira

Arteta also gives the runners that range of passing from deep and Khedira is a great box to box player

As for us whilst we don't have the names or belief they do, I think we are close then people make out. Which is why it pisses me off more that we need only 3 or 4 quality signings. Whilst the front line looks great that back 5 looks poor all of a sudden in comparison

Gibbs Kosceilny Mertesacker Debuchy
Douchebag

I wouldnt be surprised if they are in for Casillas, hope not

I think Khedira and Ramsey would work well as a midfield. Khedira and Schweinsteiger works for Germany and neither of them are exactly fully defensive midfielders. He also plays alongside Modric for Real. I think what Wenger would be going for is to alternate between one of them going forward and the other sitting back.

Yeah the defense is unspectacular, but solid enough I guess. If we added Davies I would say our's would be better with the right coaching.

The article does because it was written in April 2014, but those events aren't reflected in the numbers being quoted as far as I can tell. The AIA deal obviously can't be because they only become our main sponsors this season.

Chelsea looking incredibly strong now.

I think they'll win the league quite easily next season. Great players in every position and very good ones to back them up as well in almost every position.

City with the additions of Mangala, Fernando, and Sagna look very strong too but I just think that Chelsea team especially with Jose will be about unbeatable.

We have a lot of midfielders but we also had a lot of injuries. We also loaned out Ekotto, Falque, Holtby, Livermore, Cebellos and the boys to Swindon. Bentaleb, Kane, Fryers, Rose and Townsend all made the step up to the first team.

We have 30 players in our first team squad at the moment. A few will be sold a few will be loaned out and a few will be bought. We need a 25 man squad if we are going to challenge on all fronts.

I don't think you need a 25 man squad. You need a 24 man squad. (screw you Libaz I fighting over that one man). Its also best if that last person in the pecking order be a youth player like Bentaleb who is good enough for the team but happy to be there!

I agree we have too many which is why not many players improved, so we need to loan them out. A 24 man squad should be able to deal with injuries otherwise you need to make changes to your physio and medical team. Hopefully that happens under poch as his injury record at southampton and the last season and a half was good at espanyol.

This would be my squad for next season, edit: will post in PL thread

Schewiensteiger for the National team was snuffing out danger before it came about and was one of better DM's and Khedira didnt win one tackle and in la liga he would win a tackle and interception a game. I think Arteta and Khedira are more like the NT partnership rather Ramsey. I actually think it could result in this

Giroud
Ozil ----------------------- Sanchez
Ramsey
Arteta --- Khedira

Possibly swap Giroud and Walcott/Remy

Im creating a PL thread but Jose does always do better in his second season

I'd argue for the 25, so you can leave one of our better players at home when we travel to the other side of Russia to play in the Europa.

Roma sign iturbe for €22 million + €2.5 million in add ons. A very good deal for Roma, he's a very talented player. Their putting a nice squad together.

Kroos confirming he's going to Madrid (in English!?!?!?!)

@Lufti - Kroos can speak English? How many of the German players can- I know Hummels does...

Most Germans can speak english from my experience there, unlike us they actually learn a foreign language at school whereas all we do it for is a day trip to france and the german market

Yeah, other countries in general start learning English as early as primary school. I actually saw a picture recently showing what percentage of each country speaks English(might have been in the pics thread in here) and Germany was at 56%. I think most the national team can though anyway

In general, the majority of younger people can speak English

Edit: The following map shows the percentage of people who are able to hold a conversation in English. It is based on the data contained in the “Special Eurobarometer 386″ (the data is from 2012, so Croatia is not included).

Like I say though, the number is brought down by the old people, must 30 year olds downwards are good at English

Apparently there are about 10 clubs who are at least monitoring Matt Besler, the bulk from England and the majority of those in the Premier League. Fulham, one of the championship clubs, have apparently made a bid and Besler pretty much confirmed this morning thast Sunderland have also made a bid. Villa is interested too.

Apparently a hold up in the Yedlin to Roma deal is there is a quota of one non eu player per roster in Serie A.

What makes you worry? They have finished above us every season since the start of the premiership. They've paid off their stadium. They're richer than us and make more money. What made you think that this would be the season that we'd suddenly soar above them?

Never said us. I don't want them to win it all.

Khedira - Ramsey
Sanchez - Ozil - Cazorla
Giroud

Is a hell of a midfield/front 6

Fair enough. They do have a very strong team. I just feel that the squad is short of city's and Chelsea's and arsenal always get injuries like we do.

Kroos cost £20m, Lallana £27m

Joke, the English premium is ridiculous, Kroos already 3 times the player Lallana will ever be

Kroos is in the last year of his contract...

Are people still going on about this 'English premium' BS especially in a summer where we've seen ridiculous prices for foreign players as well.
