Summer transfers continued.

Pretty sure Guehi will get done but we do have Gomez and Leoni, not exactly Henderson vibes but not ideal

So our net spend is now at around £40m?? With Tsimikas also on his way out.

Ahhhh there’s the FSG we know and love….

It will never change..

But then a cursory look at his peers shows Kroenke increasing his wealth with the fellow US billionaire, pandemic/war profiteering elites over the last 5 years from $13.5 billion to $20 billion...a 48% increase.... while our wonderful 'Cigar Smoking Wrinkled Dick' has managed to vastly outstrip him - with a whopping reward... $2.5 billion to $6 billion... a 140% increase.


Astounding in the west and an era that over the same period has seen the "unprecedented fall," with many metrics indicating the worst decline in living standards since the 1950s.

As ever, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.

[Steveo]

That's one way of putting it..

Looking a little deeper into the recent surges - one could say this immense wealth and accelerated gain translates into control over the narrative itself. Billionaires own major media outlets—from newspapers like The Washington Post, the Boston Globe to television networks and social media platforms. This allows them to shape public discourse, frame political debates in their favour, and promote economic ideologies (such as the idea that low taxes for the rich benefit everyone) that protect their fortunes. From this viewpoint, the last five years weren't just a lucky break for the rich; they were the culmination of a long-term project to rig the economic and political game, ensuring that whenever a crisis occurs, the system is primed to channel the vast majority of the gains directly to the top.

Yet still - mr Henry is managing to make his record breaking peers - look pedestrian.

Broke by christmas UTD currently have spent 110m more than us net-spend

Only 9 attackers arsenal have also spent 100m more

I'm sure we'll top the spend for once under FSG when isak and guehi come right........ right ?!?!

Manchester United five-year net spend: £-721.88m
Chelsea five-year net spend: £-688.88m
3) Arsenal five-year net spend: £-611.36m
7) Liverpool five-year net spend: £-301.77m....... cmon surely the money is there to top the spend for once.

[Daffydd]

It looks like we might sell Elliott, Tsimikas and Bajcetic which might wipe out our net spend

"Yeh yeh, but as long as I have my 75" TV, two cars on the drive and a couple of sun holidays every year.. Innit"

[Steveo]

Yep - good point well made.

[Insidious]

I feel jittery about Guehi.
Should have had it done before now.
We need another top-class centre back.

I remain quietly confident on it, but it's definitely important business to conduct.

Glasners comments yesterday suggests he won't leave until after their conference league second leg. But a hint of resignation that he will go.
