Arsenal Finances

[Yousif Arsenal]

Although Leao has oodles of ability, him and Pepe are currently having a competition for who can have the worst season in a league they should be running rings round.

Both are counter attacking wingers won't suit our current style but Leao has more potential

We’ll sell Ramsdale in the summer and possibly Eddie/ESR. We’re in a great position for another big window.

I heard that Leao scored his first goal for Milan since September which is absolutely insane - if Martinelli had such a barren run there would be certain people on here sharpening the knives.

Leao is massively overrated. Wouldn’t want him anywhere near here.

Financials starting to look pretty healthy, especially wages compared to our competitors.

Crazy post nearly half of those are out of date.

Do you have a more up to date breakdown of our financial results?

Would be interested to see how much has changed for everyone since then.

That's the latest info so that's all he can go by. More up to date financial results haven't been released by those clubs.

Have we cooked the books?

Thanks… I assumed cause @Makingtrax called the post crazy that it wasn’t the most up to date

Oh for sure. Leao has the potential to be world class if he could find any consistency.

First league goal, yes. Was an absolute worldy...but he spends too much time walking around for our liking

Probably. But (as the Kroekes might be stepping up now, but they're in in for the profit) not egregiously. Accounting has weird-ass rules. And they get weirder in specific industries. I'm a lawyer, I sue insurance companies. If I sue on a million dollar claim and settle for 500,000, the insurance company books this as a profit for 500,000. Exaggerating, of course, but insurance company accounting is still opaque to me. In football, it could be covered up with stadium investments, investments in women's football, things that don't count for FFP.

Anyway, yes we cooked the books. But not in a bad way that means we're losing real money that the club could be in trouble. And not in a bad way with FFP. Accounting is just weird 'cause you can shift stuff around.

Just shows how much City's prize money and commercial deals push them to 700m which is bs imo. Their fanbase is tiny compared to ours.

No mate. Wages can change significantly from one year to the next. So producing a chart with different years on it seems a bit pointless as a comparison. Best wait until they all publish.

He doesn't know. He just knows it's crazy. Can't make this up, man.

He's only working with what's publicly available at this point in time.

That would also be pointless as there could be 18 mo+ lag

It’s only Liverpool Chelsea and Tottenham that are old anyway. Chelsea’s would have gone up massively, the other two should be sideways to slightly up I think? Doesn’t really stop you from being able to do some sort of analysis.

I thought our wage bill would have gone up more than that tbh.

Wage bill has a much stronger correlation with finishing position than @Makingtrax ’s preferred metric of transfer spend / squad cost fwiw

We have a chance to generate some money in the summer with selling players if Edu is ready to try that method.

From salary Jorginho, Partey, and Nketiah going out should help somewhat.

Jorginho just got offered an extension no?
