This time last year we were a DM and CB short going into the season which Arsene finally got round to sorting out in January.
So did Arsene plug our holes in January ready to go full tilt this season? Not a bit of it as every time he solves a problem we find him a new one :-)
Song from Arsene to us " oh goonerrs there ain't no pleasing you " :-)

Just trying to lift the disproportionate gloom mate :-)
We really are in our best shape for years but since Sunday we sound like spuds and Gordie fans put together giving up at the first set back ( OK they count pre season friendly ) but were closing in on them.
We're a very good side who had a very bad day

12 Aug 2015 23:06:27
I think we have been counting the pre season friendlies with our spectacular treble

Moussa sissoko or wanyama different type of players

12 Aug 2015 17:49:22
I like sissoko alot. I think he's a bit of a beast and has talent too. Nearly posted the same, but I think one or two more important positions need filling first.

12 Aug 2015 18:39:38
Wanyama if I had to pick. Sissoko is decent but he's a bit of a headless chicken at times, and he's certainly no upgrade on Ozil, Santi, Ramsey, or the Ox, much less Coquelin as far as DMs go. I'd really just rather we promoted Adelaide or bought a real DM for cover with le coq.

Really excited about Crowley though. I feel like he's going to be an absolute star.

who the hell offered rosicky a new deal :(

reports wenger doesn't want a DM also :(

Derby stop winding me up. Lol

Ooh man, look at all the other teams!!!
City are signing De Bruyne
Man utd will sign Pedro
Liverpool signed quality players in Firmio and benteke
Chelsea already have a good squad and they just had a bid rejected for Koke, i mean mourinho is not a fool. He's trying to sign a good left back in baba rahman.
He'll probably sign a star, in midfield.
Why isn't arsene even trying man. It's not his money, why not put in a bid for krychowiak or bender.
Offer them 22-24 million and BOoM we have a deal.
Same goes for a striker.
We won't win anything like this and this will be another season of top 4 battle with Tottenham and Liverpool.
I'm pissed off man!

You seem more interested in players Arsenal don't have then the ones they have. Be patient , Arsene always has a late deal come through.

12 Aug 2015 13:26:30
Look, if come deadline day, Cech is our only signing and Arsene's sat at home by the fire, clipping the coupons out of his paper, I'll join you in being disappointed in our lack of activity.

But until then, just enjoy the ride!
The bumpy, stressful, slightly exciting ride.

As Bergooner says, you're getting more involved in other players signings than you are our dealings mate.

Yes, Liverpool have signed a lot of players, but, on the other hand, Liverpool have signed a lot of players!
It takes time for them to gel, yes, they may fit in quickly, but there will be time for them to work as a team.
They've lost the 3 jewels in their crown so to speak, in the past 2 windows.
I think Firmino is a good signing, as is Milner.
Benteke is a monster on his day.

Will those 3 start for us?
No.

Chelsea may sign Rahman, who again, looks promising and he has time on his side (I don't follow Bundesliga as much as Serie A and the Prem, so someone correct me if I'm wrong there please!) but he's not going to start for them, he's also making a step up to a bigger club and that's never easy.

As for Koke, unless Chelsea make a serious money off, he won't leave Atleti just yet.
And if he does, who's he going to replace in their line up?
Fabregas? Matic?
Nope.

De Bruyne's had a cracking season, but he's going to cost in the region of £45m and he's a luxury player for city.
He's not going to start ahead of silva and sterling will play after costing as much as he did, so De Bruyne will either play wide right or be rotated.

Utd made some decent signings, but apart from Schneiderlin, I wouldn't really be ecstatic for us to sign any of them.
As for Pedro, I personally find him overrated.
Alexis is better and I'm willing to bet you money that AoC will eclipse him as a player, once he can maintain his fitness.

As for us, I wouldn't mind Krych...Krys....Kryz,...the Sevilla lad, but If the quoted prices of £25m are close to true, that's a lot of money for a middle aged (he's 25 right? So middle age for a players career...ish) player.

Ed002 has already stated their belief that we may wait for Carvalho, which, if true, I'm happy with.

As for a striker, I'm still confident we'll get Benzema IF he wants to leave.

I don't think Madrid want to keep or sell him, either way.
But if a solid offer came in and he asked to leave, we'll get him.
Get back to me after deadline day and I'll humbly apologise if we don't bring anyone else in!

Song for shrikant " the other man's grass is always greener " :-)

No fellas,
I'm not interested in what other teams are doing, but I am interested in what Arsene's doing and he's doing absolutely nothing.
Not aware of any bid going in.
We'll not win the title like this will we?
Ask yourselves gooners!.
You all know we're one striker and probably a DM short of it.

13 Aug 2015 03:46:28
Yes we do need a world class goal scorer and a cover dm but it isn't as simple as going oh I want that player so sign him there's much more to it and we all know arsene doesn't just hand over a ton of cash for a player he will set his price and negotiate . Still time for transfers , I wouldn't panic.
