Precisely.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Don't have enough cash to be one of those.

Wilshere to Betis apparently
Safe to say that probably won't be happening.
Wilshere will be gone in the summer, no great loss but another player we'll need to find a replacement for. With no money coming in for the 3 players leaving, they'll have to find someone else to sell to make up the numbers.
I know Wenger is allegedly still there because of the profit he makes, but with us losing what is it about 75 million worth of players (players we paid a transfer for) next summer even his profit making won't be an excuse as we'll no doubt make a loss.
Interesting thing about our transfer policy is that ever summer we make a signing before the season ticket renewal deadline, then after the deadline activity is pretty much dead, it's almost as if we're just trying to get people to buy season tickets and dupe them into thinking we're going do a serious summers' business.
In the end last summer we sold a few players and made a profit, but even if we had signed Lemar (for the ridiculous amount of 92 million) we still made sure that Sanchez/Ox/Chesney/Gabriel/Gibbs covered most of the money spent (epsecially when you factor salarries off the wage bill).
I'm amazed match day goes don't feel utterly ripped off.

That's always been the pattern for a while now. We had the debate earlier this summer about having a 'good start' to our summer transfer activity but we always start early and then we're all waiting for deadline day news.
You know rumour mill will be on full blast this summer. In fact, maybe more than ever as big players are likely to leave and fan morale will be very low.
Wenger already has the answer. He spoke yesterday about the "sit down" at the end of the year and explained that's nothing of significance, it happens every year. Supposedly. So he'll be staying. Can't find the article now, but for anyone who does it's worth a read just to see how far Wenger is prepared to go to torture intent, context and language. This bunch have already told us we're over-performing in comparison to our rivals. Wenger has told us we're hot on the heels of the gypos in terms of expected goals. Players running down their contracts is ideal, if you recall. I'm sure they can find a new metric to explain how marvellous we've been in the transfer window. Thee people are exposed but they don't care and they don't need to care.
