The almighty 2016-2017 summer transfer window thread

Omer Toprak and Lucas Pérez. Medical on 31st August. Only one will manage to get paper done on time.

I guess i missed this.

Arsene Wenger hopes Arsenal's signing of Shkodran Mustafi 'will be done' before deadline

So, Lucas Perez? Reminds me of a more skillful, faster Podolski

How long before a Chinese club tests our resilience? Would we say no to a £100m bid for Sanchez or Özil?

I'll trade Sanchez. Not sure about Ozil though. £100m and go crazy in the last few days of Transfer Window. But hold on... Will the Gafa spend it? Maybe not.

Lucas Perez. The Joel Campbell replacement!

Let's hope he actually sees the field before scumbag Walcott.

Why don't we go for James Rodriguez if he is unsettled in Real ? He is not striker that can lead the line all the time but can play there and on all front positions.

Lucas Perez. The Joel Campbell replacement!

...except we didn't need replacements, we needed depth.

At the start of the summer we needed a left winger and a striker in addition to our current squad. Not only have we failed in getting either of those positions, we've also gotten rid of a player who could potentially play both.

We were minus two, now we are minus three. Even if we sign Perez, we're still minus two.

Little bit niggle

Arsenal are expected to complete the €20 million (£17.1m) signing of Lucas Perez from Deportivo La Coruna on Friday.

Is it though

Lucas Perez and Mustafi by Ornstein in one day. Very good stuff, now let the pipedream for a WC talent to also come in begin

Depend of how much Mustafi will cost, we will hit 100 mil spend. No way we go for more.

Why not? We're one of the richest clubs in the World. The only consequence a larger investment would make is that it might restrict our budget for the next couple of windows, which is fine as long as we get the right player in.

Mustafi is €40m, Perez is €20m. Our total spend won't go over £84m for the season, unless we sign more players.

After Mustafi and Perez, if we gonna buy someone will be winger/attacker, this transfers usually are much more expensive. So we will hit way over 100mil. I dont care how much Arsenal spend, i just dont see us spending that much in one transfer period. I wish we do, on top of this transfer Draxler would come good.

I wouldn't mind seeing another defender, considering per, Kos, nacho and debuchy are all out of contract after this season.

Not sure if they can attract the caliber of lb who could actually unseat nacho right away, so this may be the first big buy of summer 2017 (followed by 93 days of inactivity)

You are losing your mind if you think we are signing any more players than Mustafi and Perez.

How good does it feel when we spend about 100 million quid of OUR own money? Without any sick billionaire injecting cash and making us his toy. Thank you Arsene.

That's what i said! Don't think we will get more players, we reached the cap. But Mustafi, Perez and Xhaka is a good addition to the club. I just wish Joel was given more chance.

Mustafi, Xhaka, Perez and Holding. Brilliant transfer window.

That big bonus signing would be the cherry on top of the cake. I do have a feeling that Arsene wants a big name in

James I'd be ecstatic with

It's about £84m, and we spent more in 2014-2015. Not really a new thing.
