So, realistic predictions for this momentous super Thursday transfer deadline day.

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

I expect Sanchez to leave.

I then expect Sterling, Seri, Draxler, Mahrez, van Dijk and one surprise to arrive.

Arsene shall smile, Monty shall chastise us all for a lack of faith and Dutch will make a stance against crude language.

I shall have a lentil curry and naan for lunch.

Gone off the idea of Goretzka then, SW?

No but he would be unrealistic given the alleged interest from other clubs. He is destined for much bigger things than N5.

Far be it from me to criticise AW’s transfer dealings, nor indeed knowledge of footballers, but the lad Krykowiach would have seemed absolutely fúcking ideal as a midfield bolster but I assume we were not interested.

I would have expected his name to come up in our negotiations with PSG on Draxler.

I'm trying to work out how we can be skint. I have pieced together fragments from memory to form an opinion that fits my mood. A couple of years ago we had over £200M in reserve and £50M a year coming in from TV on top of the most expensive ticket prices in football. I can't believe that we have spunked it all on players?
