Happy fucking days

Given we are probably staggering payments for both Lamela & Eriksen, these deals are not straightforward when you consider the volatility of the Euro.

That goes for Bale to Madrid as well. Any 100M Euro deal can easily change from 85m it would be today to more like 80M by the time the payment is completed if we do not 'hedge' the risk.

That's what fx forwards are for....

Joe Lewis pulled off some of the greatest FX trades by individual speculators in history....he has access

So it seems it was the Madrid players to Arsenal thing that delayed it a little. Good. On the flip side, I expect Arsenal to sign a couple of worldies now (from Madrid and elsewhere) but at least they won't be in the squad for Sunday.

6 excellent players in, transfer record broken 3 times. More to come. Amazing window. Unbelievable.

Edit - just re-read my post and in case it isn't clear, I meant it looks like we purposely delayed the announcements as long as we could so the knock on affect doesn't affect the NLD.

Now for Eriksen?

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Please do NOT drag us back into the merits, varifi-fucking-cation on if Bale was, could be, should be, is possibly being sold. That fucking dog has long ago run off.........

Next!

CAN WE GET SOME WATER HERE PLEASE. SOMEONE HAS HAD A LUNCHTIME STELLA...

This window is amazing!!!!!! I'm struggling to believe it. Hats off to Levy, getting Baldini in has been a very shrewd move. COYS!!!

We've been saying the same thing for years and guess what.....they never fucking do.

Yeah, Lewis does know the odd trick when it comes to currencies. Another reason for the delay and I think this transfer is in safe hands financially

Wonder what the difference in £ would be between a figure of Eur100m at the bigging of the window and that same figure today

LB














Please

 

[Mr Gamgee]

Well this is boring. been 9 minutes without signing anyone

 

[vdv112]

My balls are tingling with happiness, what a signing! Can't wait till he gets on the pitch for us.

Never thought we'd have a window like this even with Bale leaving.

 

[Spurz]

Ok Levy, give Wenger Carlton Cole's number. I know he has been begging you.

cant see many Madrid players leaving to go to the goons tbh, Di Maria wants to stay so does Ozil, maybe Kaka?

We are near top of 3 month range.

Maybe the transfer is in sterling and Fx risk is on their side though

Carlton Palmer, can come out of retirement, I'm sure he'd fit Wenger's buget

According to a quick google on rates, about £500k (1.16 @ July 1st vs 1.17 today) so not that much considering it's £85m

 

[night-watchman]

And still the RO is like a graveyard. They must be out celebrating. Any ITK on Eriksen?

Its not as if we need it at the moment! All the best ITK seems to be coming from the selling clubs at a pretty consistent rate.
