I always love how people act like they think Wenger isn't trying to do what's best for the club. It's extraordinary. People here there and everywhere going on about how he should have signed this player and done this and that when they themselves have absolutely no knowledge of what's going on behind the scenes.

It's frustrating we haven't signed anyone - of course it is, but the simple fact of the matter is we are not as rich as Chelsea, City and United so it's always going to be difficult for us to sign world class players. In the past three years, we've been fortunate enough to sign three world class players so people seem to have developed the opinion that this is an extremely easy thing to do. But the simple fact of the matter is, these signings were all highly opportunistic: Ozil and Sanchez arrived because their clubs had signed players in their positions; and the Cech signing was a unique case. This wasn't the case with the (ridiculously large number of) players we've been linked recently. So can we all just relax and get behind the team we do have, please?

I do agree to a certain point with your post but not when it comes to Le Coq. We are a cruciate ligament tear away from not having in my opinion a vital position covered! Just from a good housekeeping point of view we need that position covered! Arteta is just not good enough for that role. A top striker would have been perfect but everyone seems to have struggled to buy one as they don't seem to be available unless for silly money ie £36m +. We failed to cover our centre backs last year and it cost us in the first part of the year. I think Le Coq`s understudy / improvement will come back to haunt us. We won't win the CL but if our current strikers fire we could come close to EPL. Still doesn't stop me feeling gutted we haven't signed a top striker though! Still time though :) COYG

The money we have is enough to compete with the clubs you have mentioned. How much did Pedro cost???

You are making excuses

{Ed002's Note - What has Pedro got to do with it?}

I never expected Benzema or Cavani but surely we couldve pushed the boat out for Lacazette or a Abuyemang. Even if it meant paying over the odds.

i really feel sorry for Giroud, all players go through bad patches. But Giroud is not allowed to have one just because he is the only true CF we have at thew club. He is always under huge amount of pressure and he has no support or anyone to back him up.

Walcott is not a CF, as soon as a team defends deep he is completely out of the game and he doesn't have the guile or craft to create chances for himself. Welbeck is slightly better option but with his injury and no pre season who knows when he will be 100%.

I kinder understand Wenger philosophy, not signing players for the sake of it. Look at Liverpool for an example but the team needed strengthening and the fact he left it so late in the transfer window was extremely amateurish. If he doesn't get his Plan A he doesn't have a plan B or C and then hopes something will turn up. For an experienced manager this inst good enough. He has to be more ruthless instead of begging around and picking up everyone crumbs.

We try to sign Higuain, didn't get him signed no one. Try to get Suarez didn't get him signed no one. Try to get Benzema didn't sign him got no one. Wenger knows we need a CF for years but we are still waiting..

Macc I'm sure that regardless what happens we will all be behind the team we always are.

People that are unhappy are not anti arsenal. We're just deeply disappointed

look how much the fans pay into the club. its a smack in the face. also if i was puma id be angry

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with the fans - if you want that sort of bulk buying, Manchester City is the club for you. It is also nothing to do with Puma that Arsenal aren't just buying for the hell of it.}

People on here are absurd to say that all those who want Wenger out are not true Arsenal fans,Absolute ludicrous,I want Wenger to go,its not just this window where he and the club have failed.
We have waited about 8/9 years now for just 2 players,who could maybe bring us the league title.we clearly have the money,although not always been the case,to which Wenger deserves so much praise,cause mourinhio,furgurson or the like could not do.
Like many others i thought Wenger deserved a chance,he bought Ozil,Sanchez,Carzorla.This season we got Czech,pretty early,i think he would have got Carvolha? if he hadnt got injured, but there was Schnerdelin,wanayama,and the like,ok Coquelin is a fine prospect and has done amazing but he will not last and when it comes to playing the big teams the i'm afraid he's found wanting,he will end up like wilshire and all the other injured players we have,as he's going to play way too much.A Strike was needed as Giroud is simply noy good enough,dont get me wrong he's done well,but also fails against the big teams.I think a deal for Benzema could have been done if it wasnt for the board to not penny pinch,i guess they offered Real Madrid £25 million and a pound a week,When if they give them £45 million,straight out they would have bit our hands off.
We supporters pay the dearest seats in the world,and we deserve to be treated way better than this. Gary Neville was correct in calling Wenger arrogant.he most surely is.But i feel sorry for him this year as i feel IF we don't buy,the fans will be on he's case,and rightly so.He`s had he's chance and not delivered,he runs the club from top to bottom,so he takes the blame for me,not the board(sorry about spelling and such)
