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 think we'll spend a lot but also sell sell a lot too - Bendtner, Eboue, Djourou, Clichy, Denilson ...................

And if Fabregas goes then his fee is going to be £40 plus isn't it?

Can I ask what sourse your using to identify the fees as I'm sure some/all will remain undisclosed

My guess 8M net spend (25 spent, 17 from sales)

In case the BBC don't list it, I'll go with the next best thing that does, maybe a broadsheet website (Tele, Grauniad). Hopefully we won't need to resort to "some bloke on the interweb reckons it is about....")

Fair point - You'll still see Arshavin quoted as anything from £12-£18m so most papers go for £15m! :?

What did City pay for Tevez?
