A disastrous transfer window is taking shape

[Billy Goat Sverige]

It doesn't help that there are very few good players available.Look at Man City,they have spent something in the region of 140 million trying to find a partner for Kompany.Wenger thought he had the centre back position filled with the addition of Holding.How was he supposed to know both Gab and the BFG would get injured in the space of a fortnight?

Mertesacker was injured nearly six weeks ago. From that point he said he wanted a defender and we still don't have one. There's also plenty of defenders available better than Gabriel, Holding, and Chambers, which is who we have playing next to Kos until the new year.

I think we'll get James Rodriguez. Can he play up front?

[George Morrell's Tache]

Anybody can play up front, it is whether they are any good in that role. World football is not currently overflowing with world class strikers.

We need insight like this. Which reminds me, WHERE IS REG?

Oh, he'll just be quietly fomenting a civil war or military coup somewhere, fear not.

I wonder where? I do hope the weather's nice for him.

Oh don't get me wrong,Wenger is not blameless in this.Personally I think he should have replaced Mertesacker this time last year.And our injury record is soooooo incredibly fúcking sad,boring and downright maddening.As for better than what we have I just don't see it out there
