Hi Ed,
If Arsenal do move for a CF. Will Martinez be considered? He's the best option available for me.

{Ed027's Note - if we were going to get someone of that calibre it would be done by now. We've been forced back in, so expect someone on a similar level to Giroud

I've read that Milan are in for him currently. Surely, if we made a move, we could still sign him if we wanted ed?

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal has made no efforts to sign him.}

That would be an issue in signing him! Thanks for the info Eds.

26 Aug 2014 21:53:25
I think we may have found the solution to our striker situation. Benik Afobe.

2 goals against utd tonight.

i jest of course, but I really hope he can do well for mk dons this year and we'll at least be mentioning his name alongside sanogo and campbell next year.

also. manu losing 4-0 to mk dons no matter how 'weak' a side they put out is just hilarious.

Hah and we thought we are rubbish

26 Aug 2014 22:17:25
2 good goals as well.

26 Aug 2014 21:52:15
Let the MK Dons v Manchester United game be a lesson for every team.
Never under estimate the opposition.
Always! Play your strongest team.
End of lecture.

Unless you want out of the competition Golds, I think van Gough only has eyes for the CL places.
He strikes me as a man who wants what he wants and ain't fussed about anyone else who gets in his way or see's things differently

26 Aug 2014 22:35:39
Couldn't agree more, tomorrow night being a prime example of when we should. We cannot afford to mess that up.

G62

I have just posted something similar on another forum, Man U didn't give a monkeys toss about tonight. LVG has one focus. top four, forget the F A Cup, the Mancs are a tad embarrassed about being out of the CL, they want back and quick.

Also shows just how good SAF was and also that D Moyes wasn't really that bad

D Moyes wasn't really that bad, Ba!

27 Aug 2014 07:55:43
Don't buy into that at all, total bow locks, United need games to get a poor squad to gel and start playing football, Van Gaal likes to bring through youth and what better way to see it.

They have no European football, to win the Capitol One Cup gets you into Europe. The league is no guarantee for them, everyone is stronger.

Failure to make Europe in any form will be a massive head ache for them and if you got the impression from his body language and expression that he didn't care, not really sure what you were looking at.

Totally agree Banbury mate, utd getting beat is never a bad thing but to pretend that their anything but happy about being out the league cup is deceiving yourself.
Lvg is aiming to get them back to top 4 ASAP and anything that makes that even slightly more difficult will be ditched.
I was pleased Sunderland got a point from them on Saturday but 3 would have been better.
Utd out of the top four come May is well worth getting excited about but last night isn't

27 Aug 2014 16:24:55
Gunner62. Absolutely right. And if anyone thinks that LVG didn't care whether they won last night is seriously deluded. Of course he wants to win. He has gone there to do a job. I'm sure in his interview he never sat there and said "Oh by the way don't expect us to win a match for the next month or so it's part of my plan".
He has not turned up just to take notes that's for sure.
But anyhow I'm quite happy for them to trip over at every opportunity.

{Ed025's Note - "and so say all of us"..

26 Aug 2014 21:51:08
Benik Afobe scores 2 against Utd. superb!

26 Aug 2014 21:50:49
Dear Arsene some people are being very unreasonable and expecting far too much from you, some want a LB CB DM CF and another winger, I feel for you my friend I really do.
Where as all I want it a jolly decent Danger Mouse and that's it, I will ask no more of you Mr Wenger I promise.
Remember you can't please all the people all the time, so just please me this once

26 Aug 2014 21:44:11
Afobe.


You legend!

They all laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian. Well, they're not laughing now.

What's the difference between a golfer and a skydiver? A golfer goes *whack* "damn" and a skydiver goes "damn" *whack*

I told my doctor that I broke my arm in two places. He told me to stop going to those places

We never knew he was a drunk… until he showed up to work sober.

Q. What did the police officer say to the midget complaining that someone picked his pocket?
A. I can’t believe someone would stoop so low.


I'm coming for your throne Dags!

Man what you lack is consistency.
Dags jokes are consistently bad.
You actually said something funny :)

26 Aug 2014 22:40:19
Rue Rue Rue,

Do you think Lionel Messi feels threatened by Carlton Cole?

Lol :-)

26 Aug 2014 20:28:24
Think it says a lot about our squad depth that we are having to consider between 2 untried and untested youngsters.

Look at Man City: Aguero, Dźeko, Negredo, Jovetic
Chelsea: Costa, Drogba, Torres
Man Utd; Van Persie, Rooney, Hernandez, Welbeck
Liverpool: Balotelli, Sturridge, Lambert

We are weak compared to all our rivals even with Giroud. Now that he's out, it really signifies why you need at least 3 out and out strikers in your squad.

Podolski, sanchez, giroud

Podolski and Sanchez aren't out and out strikers.

26 Aug 2014 20:34:14
Lukas Podolski for Arsenal.

69 apps, 28 goals.

Not bad for a player who is either played wide on left or sits on bench.

Still a damn fine player. Bear in mind we will probably lose Giroud for 3 months, why not give him a long run in the team, as an out and out striker, our number 9?

No player, even Messi, can perform to a high level, if they are in and out of the team.

Playing consistently is the key.

He's a top top player, his stats prove that, all he needs is a good run.

Is now the time?

Agree Dags, I would love to see him given an unbroken run of 10 matches and then judge him from there

He's fit and in the squad for tomorrow. A no brainer if you ask me. Has the experience we need for a game like tomorrow night.
Rosicky should play too in place of Ramsey aswell.

Very wise Mr. Gunner! Makes a lot of sense. I like that idea for striker, Toby A for defender and Carvahlo for DM - that's manageable.

I am not convinced he can play as the lone central striker in a 4-3-3, whenever he has played there he as been ineffective in that role. Yes he not had many playing chances to prove otherwise But I still feel he is better as wide attacker on the left side. He is better with space to run into rather that with his back to goal expecting to hold up the ball.

Even without Giroud's Injury I still feel we need another proper Physical central striker to compete with Giroud. So in a way Giroud's injury might be a blessing in disguise forcing Wenger to get in another striker.

26 Aug 2014 22:46:15
I've been banging the drum for another CF, long before Girouds unfortunate injury. As much as we need cover in that area, I would love to see Poldi start up front and dominate. I remember last season, he got a start and patrolled the pitch like a man possessed. Tracking back to help defend, always moving to provide an option and constantly threatening when in sight of goal. More of the same please Lukas!

26 Aug 2014 20:19:49
We have needed a CDM, CB and striker since last season. How nice it would have been to have them in pre-season to have gelled with the team and found their feet. We play Besiktas tomorrow. If we win that, then we can expect some signings to come in (according to the rumours that is).

So here is the potential chain of events:

*Arsenal play Besiktas tomorrow and win
*Arsenal announce first new signing on Thur/Fri this week
*Arsenal play Leicester on Saturday
*Arsenal announce new signings 2 and 3 the following week
*Transfer window closes
*Weekend after Leicester fixture free for internationals so limited training together for the team
*Team re-groups after international break for first real training period with new signings
*Arsenal play Man City on the 13th at the Emirates

Can I have predictions for the Man City game on the 13th? Lol

26 Aug 2014 20:41:08
If we lose or score draw against Besiktas?

Plan B Rue?

How bout predicting we play Leicester on SUNDAY first of all lol

26 Aug 2014 20:14:32
Everybody on here is down at the moment.

You want Dag's to tell some jokes?

{Ed025's Note - no thanks!..

Rather not

Let's give that a miss Dags, eh?

26 Aug 2014 20:26:55
Take your time to think about it Ed, lol.

Bet you are a happy bunny regards Samuel Eto'o?

The bugs in a mattress and they are lovers - They are going to get married in the spring.

I just saw two elementary school kids having a fist fight. So as an adult I had to step in. They didn't stand a chance.


Exaggerations went up by a million percent last year

Talk about kick people when their down mate, that's not nice daggie poos.
Anyway Gert tomorrow out the way and things will look up, then next monday get that everlasting window firmly shut and we'll all be much happier, .
Its the hope that's killing us and once that's all but gone well be happy again :-)

26 Aug 2014 19:58:40
Don't all come running to me saying,

"Dag's we want Remy, you were right".

Not listening :-!

Never going to say it so don't worry

Yawn

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

:)

26 Aug 2014 20:44:32
Told you,

Not listening

:-)

26 Aug 2014 19:36:46
Hello Ed, inspite of Remy being such a talented player and having good EPL experience, why top teams are avoid him? Is there any medical reason? and is there any chance we will go for him this season?

{Ed025's Note - yes there is mate, he failed a medical at liverpool due to a heart problem apparently..

26 Aug 2014 19:16:15
Previous transfer windows have shown us that there can be one transfer which kicks off a chain reaction, which in recent windows has resulted in Wenger proving that patience pays off.

This is how I see this one going (I don't think Giroud's injury has affected this at all) and it will go right up to the end of the transfer window.

Madrid selling Di Maria to free up funds to buy Falcao, a no longer required Benzema moving to PSG who will sell Cavani to Arsenal.

That would mean -
Spurs sell Bale to help us buy Ozil
Liverpool sell Suarez to help us buy Sanchez
Man Utd buy Di Maria to help us buy Cavani

{Ed027's Note - Benzema signed a new deal, he's definately still required. I'm sure he would of known about the possibility of Falcao arriving before he signed on

We will never cough up for Cavani, our big spending has been and gone

26 Aug 2014 19:04:49
I love the fact that so many of us agree Sanogo just is not good enough. You want to compete with big boys and you trot Sanogo out there I don't get it. Campbell has way more talent!

26 Aug 2014 18:02:08
I don't think Wenger will buy anyone to replace Giroud, I personally think he will wait for Walcott and Sanogo to comeback, meanwhile he still has Sanchez and even Podolski

26 Aug 2014 20:03:33
I fear you could be right Bambam.

26 Aug 2014 17:57:52
WRIGHTY PL Legends - once I stopped playing for Arsenal, I stopped playing football.

No disrespect to West Ham just love for Arsenal

Great player and great finisher

We could do with you now buddy!

26 Aug 2014 19:56:17
If only SY4, if only

26 Aug 2014 17:34:06
On Ozil - he needs a proper preseason plus he needs a functioning side.
If no one is making runs - what's the point in him!
I am a huge Ozil fan and believe he does so much work for the team, gives it that cutting end and balance. Do I want him tracking back 50 yards to follow a fullback - NO. That's wasting his energy and puts him in the wrong area for our attack.
I am fine with him on the wing - just put a decent fullback and CDM in place so Ozil can use his energy creating chances.
Until then - let's get off his back as he ain't a defender and we didn't buy him or pay him to do that.

Build the team around Rambo, Ozil and Alexis. Trophies will come.

He also needs to pass the ball harder so it gets to the man

I agree SY4. Its funny, but you (rightly) never see anyone state that Dennis Berkamp was not a great player because he did not work hard enough tot rack back and defend! The same goes for Ozil, let him do the business at the right end of the pitch.

26 Aug 2014 18:49:36
i think that's just lack of match sharpness Witty,
once he finds his comfort zone he'll flourish with those perfectly weighted passes

26 Aug 2014 19:02:38
He also needs to man up to the EPL and grow some balls, bit light weight imo

26 Aug 2014 20:09:43
Good points.

Agree with Witty, but as PdotY said, it will come.

Harsh 1404, harsh but funny :-)

He was doing it allast year don't think it's match fittness

26 Aug 2014 20:49:22
Witty,

I think Ozil suffered more than most last season with the injuries to Rambo and Theo.

Rambo is back, Theo soon and having Alexis in the team should bring out the best in Ozil.

If not, he could prove to be a waste of money.

26 Aug 2014 17:09:01
I think we should take a chance on Richards as he can play rb and cb

I'm not sure any team has ever signed 3 right backs in one window

26 Aug 2014 18:49:16
Well if chambers is playing cb why can't Richards

26 Aug 2014 19:03:24
I agree and have said it a few times, this is how I know it will never happen.

26 Aug 2014 14:18:14
I am wondering what team would be best for tomorrow night. I think Arsene might play Sonogo but I hope not, perhaps he should give Campbell a try with Ozil in behind.
Anyone else with ideas for tomorrow, I must admit this game is worrying me.

26 Aug 2014 14:44:31
So long as he dosen't play Ozil on the wing again. I hate seeing him being wasted there.

I'd like to see someone play attacking left midfield who is actually a winger type player. Not Cazorla and not Ozil. Poldi or Campbell are probably our best options currently. Maybe even put the Ox on the left?!

Anyone but Sanogo. The fact he's even being considered is just ludicrous.

I'd have to say Campbell flanked by Alexis and Ox, Ozil in the middle behind them, where he belongs.

Every other top team in the league has options in every position, and they are quality options.
We lose a striker and have no proven second choice? Absolutely shocking position for a club to be in.
Everybody said we needed to buy in many positions last year but especially a striker.
Wenger does not listen or want to take us to that next level. Having Giroud as a number 1 choice is IMO not enough to challenge for top honours, having no backup is simply mis-management.
We have sold a few people and bought in a few. Slightly improved, but not enough in quality or squad depth.
Same old season ahead?

I hope Campbell get a chance

Midfield for me has got to be flamini Wilshere ox ozil sanchez with podolski up front.

With Rosicki, cazorla, Campbell still a reasonable bench.

I still think we will squeeze through but it not going to be straightforward.

Arsenal will not make any more buys until qualification is assured because it means a extra 50Million min in the coffers.

So it is vital we get through because we need a few players still. We need a CB and proper DM min and if Giroud is going to be out we defo need another like for like striker aswell.

Sonogo just not good enough need to go out on loan. Sanchez and Podolski are both ineffective as lone central strikers as would Walcott when he is back.

Maybe Remy may be a good option for the Forward, please not Welbeck. Carvalho is strong rumour for DM although Manolas looks to be dead now with Roma Outbidding stingy Arsenal.

Infact Giroud getting injured might be a blessing in disguise really that if we do get through the tie as we needed another central striker anyway for me to give Giroud real Competition.

Akpom maybe, I'm going to the match (first of the season for me) & I'm pooing myself

26 Aug 2014 17:18:33
I'd like to see Sanchez up front, ozil behind him

26 Aug 2014 13:52:02
So listening to some people on here is laughable but I've decided to sum things up:

Szczesny looks a bit sketchy and our sub keeper is inexperienced and about 12yrs old. Ospina was injured before we signed him and hasn't kicked (or saved ball) since his arrival!

Mertesacker has gone from being a leader and a potential captain to Igor Stepanovs after 90mins.

Koscielny is nursing an Achilles issue and hopping around on one leg. Kieran Gibbs has pulled his hamstring for the 9th time.

Mikel Arteta is injured and Flamini is a liability and we still don't have a "danger mouse" in midfield.

One of our most lethal finishers in Podolski has got his "howa to speaka Italiano" Del Boy knock off language CDs ahead of a move to Italy.

Sanogo scores more against Benfica that EVERY other game combined for Arsenal before or since. Giroud has broken his ankle (allegedly) and our inspirational midfielder with a knack of scoring winning and or important goals, is banned for one match following his red card in the first leg. So we now go into our second leg against Besiktas praying we get through in the hope that Wenger splashes the cash and sorts it out!

Oh and there's no sign of Walcott and don't get me started on Abou Diaby!

I think that about covers it! Reasons to be cheerful guys and girls!

Cracked me up Greeny, and there's not much that can make me laugh at the minute!

1. ed002 avatar
2. no jokes from dags for a while
3. utd spending 30 mil extra on maria
4. kop sign trouble boy balotelli
5. we are all in this. together, till the end

You're welcome Valley Gooner. I thought a sarcastic spin on things would lighten the mood!

That cracked me up! Funny post greeny😃

26 Aug 2014 12:23:03
It is clear that Wenger is waiting for CL qualification before making any further signings. We need at least one central defender, a defensive midfield player and a striker, assuming Giroud is out for 3 months.
The injury situation is as bad as ever: Ospina, Gibbs, Koscielny, Arteta, Gnabry, Walcott, Giroud, Sanogo & Abu Diaby to date.
The squad is hugely imbalanced with too many attacking/midfield options & too few defenders & defensive midfield options.

26 Aug 2014 11:37:38
With Giroud's injury we need to sign someone. I was in the camp that wanted another striker regardless, but now even more so. My ideal signing would be Cavani, but if we can't get him, then who?

Read about circi, remy, Wellbeck. All not good enough. One man who might be available, and could be a bargain would be Torres.

Yep you heard me right! I think he's been very poor at chavski, but his form at Liverpool was outstanding, which at that time justified his 50m fee.

In retrospect that was a lot of pressure for a young player to perform. I don't believe that he was given a fair crack at the first team in chavski, his confidence took a knock and he suffered. But you don't go from being one of the best strikers in Europe to a laughing stock.

What Torres needs is a manager who will believe in him. Someone who will stand by him if things don't go right. If that were to happen, I believe that he would recover his Liverpool form. And wenger has been known for those traits.

I for one would take a gamble on him. He'd have a fresh start with new fans. The mistakes he has made will be lessons learned.

{Ed001's Note - just to point out, Torres lost the blistering acceleration he once had, which enabled him to get space. That is why he looks poor, that is why he was poor in his last few months at Liverpool. He will never be the same player he was, you don't get back acceleration once you lose it.}

Are you genuinely suggesting that we should get Torres over Remy or Cerci, or anyone for that matter?

Are you feeling alright?

26 Aug 2014 13:12:27
Completely agree about his acceleration, but he also lost his finishing. He could be the poacher we've missed since wrighty

{Ed001's Note - because he needed time to get to the ball and take the shot. Without acceleration to give him space, he finds a defender on him when he has the ball. He is not a poacher, it is not his game.}

Torres is absolutely hopeless. Pace gone, poor finishing, and no sense of space. Always looks completely surprised by where the ball is. I don't think Welbeck would be a bad option, less keen on Remy and think Cavani is overpriced for what he offers. Notwithstanding his volatility, I'm surprised we let Balotelli go to the dippers, especially for the bugger all price of £16m.

26 Aug 2014 17:02:09
He's playing 40 games a season since he was 17. that's 4-6 years before most strikers are first team players. His legs are gone. I still have a real fondness for Torres and would take him for 5m and 70k a week. His exp is tremendous.

I'm hoping the same will ring true for Cesc(finished by 30) so he doesn't prove to be Wengers greatest failing. fingers crossed.

27 Aug 2014 02:49:37
Put it this way, I wouldn't pay £20m for him, but as sheeny said, at a cut price deal he would be a bargain. Proven at all levels. Would just need to park himself in the box and let our midfielders supply to him.

In terms of pace, yes he has lost a lot, but I'd assume he would be quicker than what we have.

26 Aug 2014 11:20:19
With all this talk of a new striker signing I'm surprised there has been no mention of Italian striker mattia destro been linked with Chelsea and with 13 goals from 20 games last year he looks a decent striker

26 Aug 2014 10:29:20
ED what are the chances of seeing a holding midfield player, a striker and a center back before the transfer window closes?
Cheers for this amazing site :)

{Ed002's Note - I still think there is a good chance of all three happening.}

Ed002 I could kiss you for that comment, I won't because if you punch as hard with your fist as you do with some of your replys I might be unconscious for the rest of the season :-)
Would a man hug be too much?

Wow! Thanks for that reply ed002! Has filled me with new found optimism! COYG

26 Aug 2014 13:52:47
That does fill me with hope! Out of interest I don't know if you would know this but are they looking for first team players? Like obviously the cb will be back up maybe a youngster. Hope that makes sense lol

{Ed002's Note - You need to think "squad" not "team". Arsenal had a deal all but done for Manolas and then backed out - Alderweireld is available and talks have already taken place with Monaco. Arsenal are interested but need to act fast as Southampton and possibly West Ham are looking to him as well. Carvalho is a player the club want. Podolski was to leave with a centre forward coming in. He will likely stay but Arsenal are still considering their options. Perhaps a move for Loic Remy? Maybe Bony? Right now getting through tomorrow will be the main focus.}

26 Aug 2014 18:11:01
Thank you very much for that reply ed. in depth and helpful appreciate it. That's a interesting way to look at it. Squad rather than team. Never looked at it that way. I personally think things may pick up transfer wise after tomorrow. Thanks again ed

26 Aug 2014 10:04:03
He's one for Dags,

With all the injuries around Arsenal at the moment, just remember, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

When life gives you melons, you may be dyslexic!

26 Aug 2014 12:40:14
Greeny,

As Holly Willoughby's husband would probably say,

"If life gives you melons, marry her".

Dags. As Holly's lover for many years I have never heard that one before.
Although I've heard her comment on many occassion about my prowess saying things like " My god Goldboy they are as big as a pair of Melons " I think that is where the confusion lies mate. :-)

26 Aug 2014 09:51:49
There are still some welbeck rumours knocking about. Given girouds injury I don't think he'd be a bad signing. He can play wide as well as a lone striker. Something wenger seems to like as it gives us flexibility up top.
I'm not sure where he fits in at utd any more given the signing of di Maria and the other players they have so I wouldn't be surprised if they were looking to cash in. Would they sell to us though?

In some ways giroud injury doesn't change a lot. We still need 3 new signings. Cb DM and St.

Make it happen arsene.

Bacon your right. It doesn't change a thing. With that in mind if I'd still be wanting a much better striker than welbeck. I'd rather have Remy than Wellbeck and iv found that hard to type.

Welbecks a muppet

Totally agree Ulster, why did we sell Gervinho then?

26 Aug 2014 08:38:10
Have you read the mail on line:

"Per Mertesacker is not at the standard a big club needs
If he was English he'd have been hammered for his display against Everton
Germany won the World Cup once Mertesacker was dropped
He's making Igor Stepanovs look like Tony Adams "

I wouldn't have the name Stepanovs in any comparison but I do feel and iv said it before he is a weak link. We could and should have a Hummels level centre half. Koscielny would then become even better himself.

Honestly. First game back and has to play along side calum chambers and he's copping it already. Wtf is wrong with people.

26 Aug 2014 09:58:49
I don't see after last season how you can say he is a weak link. He reads the game so well and is such a leader for us. Forget how he played against Everton. I think he is important for us

These people slagging him off are probably the same people who were saying he was such a leader and positionally excellent etc and also the same people who were slagging him off at the beginning of his Arsenal career with comments that he's too slow and has the turning circle of an Artic fishing boat.

I would love people to come and criticise you at work. Tell you what a bad job you were doing and knocking the mop out of your hand or telling you they want fries with their burger.

26 Aug 2014 10:54:26
Lol greeny. Believe me or not people I always said in his first season he will be a good player for us and was glad he showed that and people giving him stick after one game need to get a grip.

26 Aug 2014 07:49:47
Is the giroud injury confirmed? Its not on the official Arsenal injury news page. What if its just a tactic to catch besiktas by surprise? I mean our formations and style of play are different with and without og12. And yes i'm a huge fan of giroud!😃

Ohh we would come to know in todays press conference.

26 Aug 2014 07:22:19
No Aaron Wednesday that's a BIG worry, we struggled from Christmas to April without him and how many winning goals has he scored since he got back from injury?
With no Olly either it could be a very long night Wednesday, I'm not saying we won't make it but goals scorers are looking few and far between on present form.
On the bright side what's fantastic opportunity for Jack to remind us and everyone watching just how good he can be, I'm not putting all the responsibility on him as I realise he's a very long shot to be our hero but none the less its a great opportunity for him

I think we might see the ox, Rosicki and maybe even Campbell bought in.
It's only a matter of time before sanchez and ozil hit some forms.

26 Aug 2014 02:40:04
In light of reports Olly is out 3 months, I wanted to re-post a response I made earlier, to Girouds scoring record. I may seem to be hating on him, but far from it.

I'll say it again, happy with Giroud, but we need more. Banbury, I piped up after Girouds 90th minute heroics, as it confirms how excellent he could be coming off the bench against tiring CBs. Olly with another quality striker like Bony or Martinez to interchange and relieve each other, coming on fresh against tiring CBs, we're a genuine title threat. Olly coming on late relieving Cavani or Falcao, we're title favorites. I've never and will never be anti-Olly but I will continue to shout loudly for a CF, be it a challenger or a replacement to Ollys starting spot.

25 Aug 2014 23:52:47
An agnostic, dyslexic insomniac lay awake at night wondering if there really is a dog.

26 Aug 2014 10:10:51
The first decent joke I've seen on here!

25 Aug 2014 23:44:37
i have read a couple of stories tonight that giroud could possibly be out for 3 months depending on the outcome of his second scan.
if he is out for that long surely wenger will have no choice but to buy a striker?
surely he can't think sanogo is good enough.
and no offence to sanchez but I think he's better out wide.

what's your thoughts guys?

If giroud is or isn't out for three months looking at sheikh city tonight we need a striker, to even think about competing. Get a striker in and theo hopefully back in a month to help. I'm not confident wenger will do it though.

Everyone seems to getting worked up about the lack of transfers. Obviously we have a transfer budget, one with champions leauge football and one without. We are clearly waiting to see if we qualify first. We will see the transfers after Wednesday night.

Remember last year when Wenger sneaked in the transfer of ozil without anyone knowing. I have faith in Wenger to strengthen us.

We have had a decent start of the season without any of our players firing. There a lot more to come from this arsenal side, keep the faith guys.
