Lets use a bit of "better to overestimate than underestimate"
In:
Samba £10m
Leighton Baines £15m
Melo £15m
Hazard £25m
Falcao/Benzema £25m
Total = £90m
Out:
Almunia: £2m
Squillaci: £2m
Clichy: £7m to an Italian club
Denilson: £8m
Samir Nasri: £10m
Bendtner: £7m
Total = £36m
Hopefully Wenger would have to spend £54m in transfers. Won't happen, but it's nice to daydream eh?

Gervinho will come, Hazard not. Baines wont. I could go on about the rest but won't.
Bendtner I feel will fetch more

Think you are accurate with guesstimations apart from Baines. Everton really won't want to sell and I think they'd bat away a bid of 15 million without thinking, regardless if he's worth it or not.
As for Melo, interesting story I read yesterday, that Mourinho is a big fan of Melo (he likes nasty players) and there may well be a deal in place that sees Diarra move to Juve and Melo in the opposite direction to Madrid. Interesting...
As for Benzema, do a google search and you'll find nobody will be bidding for him until a certain misdemeanour he's accused of is cleared up!

If you pay £25 million for Benzema you're being robbed, he's worth 15 tops. Very over-rated player. His scoring streak at Real was more adding gloss to wins than anything else

What has Benzema done? I haven't seen anything on google
