These are all his goals and assists in La Liga. Looks skilful, very different to Giroud and can run in behind.

Doubt another CB will come in tbh with Gabriel back sooner than expected.
At least Wenger buckled under fan and media pressure. Without it I doubt we would have made these two signings.
This is promising news at last. Not exactly what we hoped for at the start of the window but it's better than nothing. Perez offers something completely different to Giroud so should be a good signing.
No idea if he's any good or not, but on the Arsenal Mania board here's a perspective from a Deportivo fan:
http://arsenal-mania.com/forum/threa....28664/page-53
For a team that finished 15th, I guess 17 goals and 9 assists is pretty damn good

Perez sounds like a panic buy with less than a week of the window left. If he was top quality we wouldn't need to check Youtube to find out about him.
Very pleased to land mustafi, should be a great partnership with Kos.
Re Perez, not seen him play but I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger stuck him on the wing. Also he isn't the man who springs to mind when Wenger mentions the 'super quality' players he wants for the squad.

No, it's a classic last minute panic buy by ODL but, having said that, you never know. He appears to be a slightly different sort of player to what we already have and that's welcome. He's experienced and there's always the chance that he'll hit the ground running. At this point I'm just grateful he appears to have acted before the last day and been left with no alternative but picking up a reject from another premiership club who has already failed in this league.
As for Mustafi please let this happen. I'm still terrified Mourinho will continue his reign of terror against Wenger by selling him Phil Jones
Well despite the shoddy way they came about (two games into the season when we picked up 1 point from a possible 6), I do have high hopes for these signings.
Giroud just isn't good enough for a top four club. He's better suited to a side like Stoke. He's too slow and too predictable.

Yep, should have started a lot earlier rather than the late trolley dash in the reduced to clear isle... Still think we should have tried harder to get Morata in or go all in for Higain. All in all, fairly happy with our new signings, can't complain too much apart from it being late; a combative CM, experienced quality CB and at least a half decent option up front or in the wing.
Happy with what I've seen from Holding, good back up with potential to become a good CB. Hopefully, we'll use him in the cups so he can get experience and it would be great not to have to struggle for 2nd in the CL and win the first few games so we can give him a game or two when there's no pressure.
Time to start the season and catch up from now on.

Agreed. We have bought a top quality CB who will be in the heart of our defence for years to come being only 24 years old he will only get better.
Re Perez I'm sure we would have all preferred a Lacazette or Morata but for his stats last season and attributes he seems a good buy. Let's hope he hits the ground running in the PL.
Hopefully this improves the atmosphere from the fans from here on in.
At least we're not sitting here on deadline day, watching Skysports as the minutes count down, waiting in vain for the signings we need to plug the gaps.
Perez isn't a panic buy.
Not first choice, or second choice for that matter, doesn't = panic buy. He's a good buy that can do a job for us and, you never know, may turn out to be a very good buy.

Of the two, I'm weirdly more pleased with Perez. He's extremely fast but unlike Theo, he can control a ball and run at the same time 
He should give us genuine counter attacking options.
Mustafi - dunno. How many CBs have got better after joining us? Only possibly Koscielny?
And I was amazed with how good Kos was for France in the Euros, better than he'd played for us all season. Might have been a lucky but good move to give him the captain's armband as otherwise he's a bit too introverted?
Anyhow let's hope the duo pass their medicals and the cheque doesn't bounce.

The media don't seem to think Perez will be a good signing. Saying he's a panic buy. I think the media are a bit peeved that Wenger has gone out & got 2 possibily good players. They were all waiting for wednesday & when nothing happened, they would have crucified him. Now they can't.
Just noticed this from yesterday:
Is he saying we have a seperate fund to spend on a marquee signing if we want?

“David Ornstein @bbcsport_david Aug 25
@GeoffArsenal @AST_arsenal AFC have funds to spend huge if AW wants player & deal is possible, as he said. But outside that, this is budget”

Totally agree. They've been cracking on about us failing to sign players and now they can't. I noticed this morning stories about Man Utd this and Man City that, nothing about Arsenal having two signings. They don't want it to happen so they can crucify Wenger.
I heard today Arsene Wenger will making more signings
And will be busy from now until the end of the transfer window
His wallet must have been full of dust when he opened it this week

I heard that too, that he will be crazy busy over the next few days. This is welcome, but it takes time for players to gel and get used to each other.

Not just the media either. Some of our fans feel the same. Cursing the fact that he has made good signings. Couldn't wait for the window to end so they could bash him some more.
Ah well. They've been proved wrong. Let them stew.

Of course we do, we had huge cash reserves, we have a billionaire owner & the new TV deal.
It's crazy we've not bought another Ozil or Sanchez and we're left looking on youtube again at our new signing to see if he's any good.
There is no reason why the club can't be spending £50m a year on a player.
The only issue is the manager can't bring himself to dump the ones who didn't make the grade. How are the following still being paid by the club?
Wojciech Szczęsny
Mathieu Debuchy
Kieran Gibbs
Carl Jenkinson
Serge Gnabry - Hopefully will be better after his Olympics.
Theo Walcott
Joel Campbell - Probably the brightest thing we've had on the pitch in years.
It doesn't really matter how many players we get in, we're still stuck with the same flipping manager!!!

According to AFCAMDEN this "Madness" deal is still on and there is sepate money. Puma could pay for part of the transfer or Uamanov could help. Not sure how true, seems to be ITK though.

Players will go outcas well, so i think we will be busy over the next few days.
Joel Campbell is going on loan isnt he? In fact wasnt he the one who handed in a request as he just wanted to play more football? Good for him
