Higuain will not sign. Fellaini will not sign. Rooney will not sign. Us gooners need to stop being deluded and expect to sign these players. Every window its " exciting times, we've just signed mata", "fee and terms agreed for m'vila. Etc. It will probably be adrian lopez and wanyama. Even though we make champions league every year, we are not a top tier team. We are too far behind the othe 3 to be considered. We are miles from the title and dreaming if we think we'll be even close next season. We will be scrapping for fourth next season as well, and every year its getting tougher.

We have some of the most overrated players in the league. Including koscielny, vermaelen, giroud, sczesny, the ox and yes, even wilshere. Before u guys critisize me with regard to wilshere, he is a wonderfully gifted player, but he doesn't add enough goals or assists. He's all for show. And pretty cocky too.

Here Russell Grant, your talking through your A*se with regards Wilshire. doesn't add enough goals or assists? You probably think Messi doesn't save enough Penos or is s*** in the air so is over rated. Horses for courses ye fool. Arsenal need fans like you like Ronaldo needs more Brylcream on his barnet.

The problem with not winning anything is "everyone's opinion can be right!"

04GRANT. obviously your entitled to your opinion. Just out of curiosity, can you think of any positive about our club?

This post by 04Grant is so petulant it's actually ridiculous. How old are you, five? Saying we have overated players etc. Your love is coming across as glory, not for Arsenal FC. What an annoying post. We are all waiting same as you. Some of us even have season tickets to pay for.

Best thing to do is just wait and see what happens and then politely remind 04Grant of this post come the end of the window whereby they should be obliged to comment.

Can I get the same happy juice your having 04GRANT?! God man dig a little deeper and find some pride in our great club.

If we don't sign Higuain, Fellaini etc. fine. but at least its a thrill to be linked to these players you must agree?

I'm surprised 04 that you manage to get out of bed in the mornings with all the doom mongering happening in your mind.
Overrating players is a mine field of a subject.
One person's world class is another's bench player.
I will not disagree that some of our players are not the finished article as yet. but to suggest that Wilshere is overrated has simply no grounds. The grounds of a fabulous player that turns up in big games is there to see. Barca, Brazil, Bayern Munich matches to start with. Anyone with an ounce of understanding can see he is the real deal. That is not sentimentality on my behalf either. What people have got to remember is that Wilshere is still young and learning his trade. Believe me, if he were on the market there would be a scramble for his signature.
The others mentioned are improving, world class no, not yet. The Ox is young and will grow into a fantastic player. With age often comes consistency.
Picking up on your main point about the Team being miles off is, I believe, complete nonsense. I would never pick an individual like yourself for a team sport because you have a defeatist mentality. I appreciate your opinions and you are welcome to them.
All we need is some belief. We have proved against Bayern that we can compete with the best. Granted we need some squad editions and a proven goal scorer, Higuain if it happens will provision the conversion of chances missed last season.
It was people like you getting on Henry's back when he first arrived. He proved parties wrong. Let Giroud, Poldi and co settle before judging them too quickly, but most of all get behind the team or go and whinge somewhere else. Nothing personal!

The above long post was me. signed in but no signature included. Hmmmm.

i have no idea what you base your analysis upon, as the stats prove otherwise.

Wilshere, Cazorla, podolski are some of the most decisive players in europe.

in the top 60 list. published by football observatory fyi.

cazorla and poldi are more decisive than bale. and cazorla is the second most decisive in the EPL behind suarez.

walcott, scored during the most crucial spell, mert and koser and poldi did so too. that's what we want, players who can step up when the pressure is on them.

since dec, we have the best defensive record in the league and second best overall in the season.

we are the team which won most games @ 1-0.

yes it did not end up with a trophy, sadly we have been selling players, how can we compete. however, if we add to what we have, I am under no illusion that we can win some silverware.

if not the league title, the league cup or FA cup will do. and build from that, always with top 4 in mind.

we do have some over rated players, but they did not see the light of day when it counted and they know who they are.

i suggest you get behind the team and the manager. and go fully in. no one likes what's going on, but the transfer window is here, we have to be optimistic and support the team. and with some positive karma we could possibly have something to gloat about soon enough.

Well said guys, especially lakerville's post- well said.

We have been frustrated as fans, no doubt, I/we get that and waiting and hoping for a change where we not only have to sell our best players anymore, but actually add some quality as well- this summer looks like we have finally turned a corner.

As Baggins said, your post is petulant like a spoilt child saying, "its not fair" why isn't the club I 'support' having more glory- frustration is one thing, saying all our players are over rated is simply not true.

Barca, chelski, hey citeh are looking for new fans- why not "support" them?

What's the point of coming on this website just to have a go at the club that you supposedly support? To me you come across as to much of a glory hunter
