Blow away those cobwebs, Arsenal have signed somebody :shock:

Santos for an alleged £6.2m

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14712232.stm

Still a nett profit of £3m more than even the most cynical FISOer predicted. If Mertesacker, Park and co sign for around £15m then blah will get it....

TALLY = £-38m
Jenkinson +1
Clichy -7
Gervinho +11
Thomas -1
Oxbow-Lake +15
Fab -35
Eboue -3
JCampbell +1
Nasri -25

Arteta, Mertesacker and Park added. Still £15m nett profit, giving a win to WilBert

I'm sure Benayoun's worth £8m ;-) Congrats Wilbert, good bit of fun (unless you're an Arsenal fan)

:?

We've made a significant trading profit, brought in 8 players, a great mix of experience and youth and we've now got two genuine top class centre halves.

:D

Em: Park was £3m and Mertesacker was £8.8m so it all comes out in the approximate wash

If the figure was 'X rising to Y' then I used Y.

Had that on ins and outs so it balanced to a degree.

Thanks, wooohooo I finally won something. :lol: :D

When I made my original estimate I thought Fab would go for 40+ and Nasri for 20 with a 3 or 4 signings coming in. If I would have had to guess the number of comings and goings I would have been way off the mark.

Welcome to the world's first annual Arsenal Summer Spending Sweepstake.

Just guess how much money (to the nearest whole million) will exit (or enter) Arsene Wenger's famously moth filled wallet this summer before the transfer window slams shut at the end of August.

Total spend is defined as the nett value, i.e. Total Spend = Total Purchases - Total Sales (using numbers from official announcements or BBC reports in their absence). If £30m goes out in purchases and £10m comes in in sales then the nett spend is £20m. Put a negative value if you think sales will be higher than purchases.

One guess each, whole millions only, no edits, deadline = end of May

Copy and paste the post above you (unless you are first of course)

I'll wait for my go until there have been at least 5 entrants to avoid any benefit by starting the sweepstake.

I know this says annual but as reigning champ (the only thing that I've won this season) could we have a January window one?
