Arsenal has been one of the top clubs in England over the last two seasons, and their on-field success has contributed to healthy finances.
They recently released their financials for the 2022/2023 season, and it was not a bad year, considering they did not participate in the Champions League.
Things are expected to improve by the end of this season, and we anticipate them securing more business deals that will result in increased revenue.
While the Gunners have excelled in many financial parameters, there is an area where they are lacking, and that is in player sales. This is because they have largely written off the top players who have departed from the club.
Commenting on this, analyst Kieran Maguire said to Football Insider:
“Arsenal’s losses can be attributed to some one-off issues – there was a significant player write-down and they are underperforming in player sales.
“The whole point about trading is you’ve got to sell as well as buy.
“They had a net spend in 2023 of £230million which is certainly unsustainable and that is a major cause for concern.“
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have done well financially in the last few months, and things will keep improving, so this should not be a problem.
In the coming windows, we will sell players for good money and improve our playing squad at will.

Actually selling players for any sort of REAL MONEY has become almost extinct as a concept at Arsenal.
All clubs need to get rid oif players not regularly effective enough , either through constant injuries or simply not being selected to start and they need to make this a REAL SOURCE OF INCOME, as Liverpool have done so well.
We are badly behind most other top clubs in seemingly being unable to shift our lesser players for any REAL money at all. Sigh!
Frankly, there seems to be no will to do so at all.
Double sigh!
Simply because Jon, the club gave players away.
They devalued them by letting them sit on the bench, pay part or all, it is reported, their salaries while out on loan, or simply sent them on gardening leave.
The other big stumbling block was / is the ridiculous salaries being given, that meant players like Cedric and Nketiah have no reason to move on, becoming millionaires while doing sweet fanny Adams!!!
SADLY KEN, THIS IS WIDELY AGREED BY OUR FANBASE AS PROFOUNDLY TRUE!
I can see no earthly reason that makes ANY sense at all to award such relatively poor and hardly ever used players, the sort of ridiculous wages we have done far too often.
SIGH!
Our players that have lost value have been badly handled. They have been devalued by sitting on the side, when they clearly are not wanted. Its something that will hold us back.
Would folks have preferred that we played hardball with said unwanted players and then took longer in shifting them out the door possibly stalling our rebuild in the process
Why would it have stalled out rebuild BOT?
