It's a fraction over 2 weeks until the transfer window slams shut. So far we have

Wilshere is a complete and utter waste of space. If he does end up hobbling on to the pitch for us at some stage this season he will utter dog****. Even Arsene seems to have more of less given up with him. I watched him a few times last season for Bournemouth and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He plays like he is 37.

Cazorla is obviously a wonderful player but the chances of him coming back and staying fit look very, very remote. If he did, midfield would be sorted.

Ramsey is just Ramsey- frustrating, sometimes menacingly idiotic, sometimes surprisingly good. But never reliable, and an injury is always just around the corner.

Elneny and Coquelin are quite reliable but limited. Neither is an ideal partner for Xhaka.

We know how all of this ends.

I'm going to demand some told-you-so points on Wilshere. I have been demanding he be offloaded somewhere further down the league where he'd be better suited for years.

Its tricky because he was such a good player. Like Diaby, you always have the hope he will rediscover it.

I think Arsene gave up last season. We really could have used him here and he didn’t even see it as an option, or even insert a recall into the loan. Pretty clear thumbs down.

I've always disliked him because he can't keep his tongue in his mouth. I feel that this prejudice has been vindicated.
