So will all the buisness be done at 11pm on the transfer deadline day as usual or will we make early signings and allow players to settle down in our setup during the pre-season. Only time will tell, hope Wenger learns something and doesn't make the same mistakes just to save some money.

Also all our A list of targets are being wooed by the usual crowd, so it will have to be the B listers then? Wish Wenger had the talent to unearth someone who hits the ground running (TV5 did it to some extent). The good news is that atleast some of the deadload is offloaded (contract ran out).

Of course our A list targets are being wooed by others, not as if they're some mystery talent only we know about. Problem is Arsenal now has a reputation as pennypinchers who do not pay up for talent and conspicuosly fail to buy top talent. Compare that to teams bursting with strength and depth, showing ambition in transfers and you have to ask what we offer to lure top talent to come to us? The answer is not very much unfortunately, yes come to us and compete for the 4th place trophy?

True, first we are not the most attractive club to come to, on top of that we still try to nickle and dime the seller club resulting in what we are all are all too familiar with - missing out time and again.
