You're just making this up. Anzhi paid £35m for Willian they don't have to make a loss as they don't have to sell.
£30m.

Economics isn't always easy to streamline. And to be fair, I am just postulating a possibility
But what I am saying as that while Arsenal haven't been free-spending since the Emirates, the monetary deals surrounding it are so good that it would be hard for another owner not to notice. And if you thought you get close to the 60m per year they make off just those 3 items (we make 20m at most) then it might be worth investing to give yourself negotiating leverage. Say we come in 2nd and we've made UCL 3 out of the last 5 years. Well we won't need to extend an existing contract for one more year....that's for certain. So spend now, before FFP hits hard to help get a deal for the stadium and pull back after.
This could totally be a crap opinion. But it's something to consider.
Ha! Just to fill you in, appreciating you are hospitalised: you may be wondering what's going on? It's not the morphine, you haven't woken up in a dreamy reverie or ITK heaven. It's real!Who was that player we have on our books but LLM said he just refuses every offer that comes his way? I'm sure he has a link or a fondness to a rather large & successful American firm? So this may explain his deep reluctance to move on?
£30m.
Id love our new stadium to be the LucasArts Arena
Jasper is up there with archibald as the best itks (in my book). Am getting excited now.
Plus the fact that the REALLY like to push the envelope with their jerseys/uniforms/kits on their flagship teams (see: University of Maryland).
Daws? About the only one who I can think of who has personal deals with UA. Wears their boots I think? Or "cleats" I guess I should start calling them in honour of our new Merikun overlords.
if that were the case you can forget about the 3 amigos because we would have the 3 magnificosLamela, Bale and Willian in a fluid 3 behind the striker, make Oscar, Hazard and Mata look like a poor man's version
I agree with that definitely. Strike while the iron is hot and the long term positives will be aplenty.
Out of interest, how much do you realistically think we can get from sponsorship for the stadium? What percentage will that be of the overall cost? And how long would it roughly take after the stadium is built before we can go back to a un-restricted level of spending?
I would take Arsenal as an example, but I'm not sure if their lack of spending has been down to the stadium costs or Wenger's stubbornness to stick with the same squad. (Sorry if a bit off topic but talking about stadiums raised some questions in my head)

Wave after wave of ITK are GENUINELY arriving with wonderous news of the future...
The giant wild haired elephant creature in the corner of your room means you no harm either, he'll be off to Hull soon. Bdm tsh!
Not a dig at Jasper, but the only posters verified by Paul Smith (the head honcho on SO) as ITK are Archibald and Roger Morgan. With the exceptions of JJ, Rebrab, POTL, Storts, LLM, Peanut (when he was around) and probably Dragon1, I'd say that seems like a fair estimation.
