Transfer madness?

It has already been a record breaking, £2.5bn spent, transfer window but the last week is set to push that number up greatly.

Liverpool have been the biggest spenders, while Arsenal have the biggest net spend. Neither of those sides seem done though, and many clubs seem to have money to spend and squads that need improving.

Obviously Isak to Liverpool is the potential massive money transfer still in the pipelines. Wissa from Brentford to Newcastle in still mooted, while they also fancy Strand Larsen - who only signed for Wolves permanently this summer.

Bournemouth, Wolves and Crystal Palace have all made a lot of money in this window. They, along with Brighton and Aston Villa, sit on a net profit with the Cherries making €110.5m. The first 3 should be active in the last week, while Villa are fighting against PSR rules and Brighton seem to have a couple of gaps in their squad if the right opportunity arises.

Manchester United have spent big on the attack, three €70m attackers added and nothing coming in. They still need midfielders, but also have some players like Garnacho they need to move on.

Chelsea have to break even to appease UEFA, and are close to it. However, they have a long list of players they want to sell and if they can do this more incomings may still be possible.

Arsenal have 4 or 5 to sell and one defender to bring in it seems. Spurs have missed out on a couple of big money targets and still are in the market for a #10 and probably a couple more.

Everton, West Ham and Fulham need to add to their squads according to their own managers, while the promoted 3 have done a lot already but could look to buy.

Gj our net is low cause we still need 2 or 3 additions, CB, Forward and a physical midfielder. Guehi, Baleba and Isak ideally.

Wirtz 116m
Ekitike 79m
Kerkez 40m
Frimpong 29m
Leoni 26m

Total = 290m

Income

Jota?
Diaz 65m
Nunez 56.5m
Quansah 35m
Kelleher 18m
Morton 15m
Doak 25m
Phillips 3m
Trent 10m

228m of sales, not sure what we get for jota
62m net? Might see more leave too, Chiesa, Tsimikas, Elliott, Endo?

Lot of changes, some forced more than others for us, might as well rip the band aid off and keep going until we're done.

Be interesting to see what Arsenal’s net spend over the last few years compared to the other top teams

The desperation for strikers is crazy these days. £50m for Strand Larsen who looks nothing more than half decent at best, but Newcastle seem to have exhausted every other option.

I'm surprised no one has looked at Vlahovic and Kolo Muane

Well that completely blows the myth that our owners don't spend.

I don't think that has been a claim since KSE took full control.

We are at net zero now - or just under it. Announced another sale for Carney to Dortmund today

posted 15 hours, 26 minutes ago

they want to do another 100m worth of business though, im less optimistic they will find 100m to balance it
