People out there are actually thinking we must sell our good players like Maitland-Niles inorder to buy world class players this summer, this thread will show you why that isn& #39;t necessary at all as long as we& #39;re selling some of our deadwood/unwanted players, read on to find out
Kroenke spent £210m to pay off the stadium debt that we owed to various banks & companies, this has freed up £30m which can be used in running costs or transfers, our summer budget for last few yrs post CL has been £80-85m, adding this 30m brings this summer& #39;s budget to £110-115m
Let& #39;s look at some of our players that we can sell to raise more funds to sign world class players, except Laca & Sokratis I& #39;ll use minimum values for other players since they& #39;re young, meaning Arsenal can sell them for a higher fee than my valuations (after some negotiations)
Lacazette - £45m
Sokratis - £5m
Guendouzi - £25m
Torreira - £30m
Kolasinac - £25m
Bellerin - £25m

Total:- £155m raised from player& #39;s sales
+£110m transfer budget & our total post-sales budget for this summer becomes a massive £265m!
Let& #39;s look at some players we& #39;ve been linked with as well as some players I wish the club to sign

Gabriel - £27m (€30m)
Partey - £45m (€50m)
Aouar - £54m (€60m)
Tagliafico (example) - £25m (€27m)
Aarons (example) - £35m (€38m)

Total:- £186m (€206m) still left with £79m!
Even after using minimum values for player sales & max values for new signings, we& #39;re still left with 79m that can go into agent fees OR alternatively into a World Class LW & AM (not necessarily needed) while paying the transfer fee for all signings (except Partey) in instalments
We can sell players for higher fees & negotiate lower fees for new signings

If we consider max values for player sales, Bellerin can go for 40m, Kolasinac for 30m, Guendouzi 40m+, Torreira 35-40m, Sokratis/Laca remain same

On the other hand, Aouar can cost €50m, Aarons £25m
Almost forgot, we sold Iwobi on last summer& #39;s deadline day for £35m, we& #39;ve spent a total of £14m on Mari & £5m on Cedric, meaning we& #39;re still left with £16m which can be used for transfers, we can add this £16m to the £79m cash left from earlier & it brings the total to £95m!
All of this is possible if we sell Sokratis and more importantly Lacazette, Torreira & Guendouzi for the right prices. Any fee recieved from Kolasinac & Bellerin& #39;s sale + some cash from transfer budget should be used to sign a backup LB & a 1st choice RB respectively
