    New signings. I feel so underwhelmed

    We needed a striker and defender before Merts and Gaby almost died. Now that the new boys have had no chance to bed in and the other teams are looking stronger, I actually feel I support from from duty and masochism.

    Whilst I am pleased with Mustafi, our injury woes means we are back to square one should anything happen - which is a given with us. I have never heard of the other bloke (even though I check up on Serie A - albeit not as much as before). I probably would have felt happier with Lacazette but I have just lost it with AW (some time ago but still) and will just be happy with wins, but expect nothing.
    I didn't think it before but I now realize we are in serious jeopardy of losing our beloved 4th place trophy.

    This is what supporting Ingerlund must feel like at the minute...

    Spot On Lady H. Good business but way too late.Always the last minute bargain hunter is Arsene. Ozil, Santi and Sanchez deserve a Torres in his prime sort of striker. I hope our new one does the business. Putting the afore named three with Giroud is like putting me in the Jamaican 100m relay team. It isn't Girouds fault. He is decent enough. But so so slow.

    Don't under estimate yourself, Wanger. If you had as many drugs in your body as the Jamaican 4x100 team I reckon you'd be pretty quick.

    Blimey - you must rate Mustafi very highly if you think 34 million is a bargain

    Only Arsene manages a club with over £150mil in cash reserves that hasn't won the league in 12 years. Only Arsene manages a club in the top 5 leagues in Europe that didn't buy a single outfield player last summer only to finish 10 points behind Leicester. Only Arsene refused to replace Almunia with Schwarzer for the princely sum of £2mil. etc etc etc

    He brings it on himself imo.

    Ah, nothing new or relevant to bring to the table, I see.

    It is both relevant and some of it new. You just choose to denigrate a view you don't agree with because you have no valid counter argument, apparently.

    Nothing new there then.

    His points are relevant because this happens every year and for some bizarre reason for a man who is supposed to be so intelligent everyone else bar him seems to notice it is not working. WES is saying what most of us have been feeling for too long.
    When was the last time we began the season with a squad worthy of the Arsenal name?
    Now the stadium finances are behind us, what further excuses are we looking for?

    Totally agree. Year in, year out we have tried to do things on a shoe string while bragging about our funds. Why are we so surprised when people refuse shekels? Even if we had been building steadily on transfer successes we would have something. But we panic buy or leave it late and then bemoan some *******s that everybody else had o deal with.

    As far as I am aware, Mertesacker and Gabriel are merely injured - unfortunate but less serious than dead. Quite how people think we can just stockpile players when there is a limit on a squad size these days. Most managers have spoken about what a difficult summer it was to sign players - see Chelsea's struggle to get a centre back in and what they ended up with. Only Arsene seems to get stick for it. City only bought their first choice keeper in the last week of the window but they have been praised to the hilt for their summer business .

    Not surprised you feel underwhelmed by Lucas - he did absolutely **** all in Serie A last year. He did however score 17 goals in La Liga
