BAU then with Wilshere. A week or two, where have we heard that before!
Think we may have missed a trick missing out on Ashley Williams, A snip at £10M. Looks Everton bound now. Could have done a job and chips in with the odd goal. Fair enough if Wenger has somebody else lined up but we'll see. I think he's massively overated . He's had his moments over the years but that fee of £10 million says it all tbh . I recall him having a nightmare against Leicester gifting them a goal early doors . He was also very poor for Wales in the Euros , I thought . |

From what i've seen, Mustafi is a better defender than Williams, and even though he's double the price we'd get more out of him due to his age. Do you not think if Williams was good enough for a "top" team, he would have been snapped up by one of them by now?

See Jack Wilshere is injured again - albeit only for a week or two...
Why is he so injury prone? Trying to rush back too quickly or due to his style of play? |

Probably CB parternship of Chambers and Holding, no Ozil or Sanchez, Akpom or Theo up front? I'd bite your hand off for a draw now. Anticipating another 8-2-esque humiliation to be honest, followed by a bit of panic spending. from the world's most reactionary manager.

Read on a very reputable football website that Draxler's definitely on his way. He was apparently throwing a wobbly there saying that Wolfsburg promised him that if a good club would make an approach, they'd play ball...

Draxler has a contract until 2020 I believe, meaning they'll only sell for massive money.
Anybody sense a potential problem there? Not sure he is what we really need anyway. |

I think Chambers will always be a liability in the centre. I also don't think Wenger will sign another player (other than those random youth players he signs).

Wake me up when Arsenal have stopped dithering. Not in talks with any clubs and no bids made according to David Ornstein.

Well there's still just over a week to go. Will we sign anyone before the season starts? It' no secret that Wenger has a real disdain for the current transfer environment but he will get all he deserves if things start to turn ugly. He's had all summer, (okay maybe except during the Euro's) to get new players in and ready for the season ahead.
As for our current lot, as I said before, it's time for the likes of Walcott, Ox-Chamb to start earning their corn. Wilshere as well. I am sick and tired of their injuries and poor form. They can all belt up too about looking forward to the new season with their empty promises. Actions speak louder than words! |

I expect any business we do will be done in the last week of the window.

So we've signed more than Chelsea and Tottenham, the same number as United, and two fewer than Man City.

Happy with Holding, but he's unproven and young, pretty much one for the future, Asano will no doubt be healthy for shirt sales in Japan, but is unlikely to play much, certainly not in the Premier League. As many including me have said, we need three more 'proper' signings in order to compete. |

Chelsea: Michy Batshuayi, N'Golo Kante Man Utd: Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan Tottenham: Victor Wanyama, Vincent Janssen All the above signings can be classed as players who would go straight into the starting XI whereas Holding and Asano cannot. Funny how it is Wenger more than any other manager that continuously barks on about signing quality not quantity. Don't forget we've released seasoned pros in Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky. |

*Waits for one of the few remaining Wenger loyalists to tell me there has been nobody suitable for him to buy* |

That's not a sensible way for any club to run their transfer business however much you might try and defend it. |

I think he has all but guaranteed that now and, to be honest, and it's probably exactly what's needed. If the attempted signing of Vardy demonstrates he thinks we need a forward why on earth hasn't he got off his backside and found one since that deal fell apart. This is his last season without a shadow of a doubt and I can't see it ending happily for him but, as you say, he has brought it all on himself.

On his thread you mean? Because it's certainly not the case in the real world, as was shown toward the end of last season when almost the whole stadium was singing his name in the face of the few attention seekers with their banners.
