When we signed Ozil, how much speculation was there in the press? I'm desperately hoping we announce

[Rich]

a big player like that. The reality at the moment looks as though the window will slam shut with Peter Cech the only addition for Arsenal*.

* - I am not counting the little kids that have signed.

[Peter]

But it was pretty much 90% already

[Rich]

If it gets to 12:00, is it too late?

[Pokster]

[The Tony]

A bit different to now.

Also they tied up the Ozil deal during the Arsenal-Spurs game to get back at them.

Seems like they made a few enquiries...got knocked back and that's it....unless we can pull off a Rami Shabaan / Arteta / Welbeck type transfer.

[Monty91]

Arguwably wightly so,

[Rich]

But as has been said below, we can't sign a top striker now because the selling club has run out of time to get replacements in.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

No?

[Ben.]

sorry, thought you were referring to own goal.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I really must get up to speed.

[Ben.]

I always thought it was just if it was on target but the commentators appeared adamant that you can't give it to Sanchez because it completely altered the direction of the ball.
So in summary :shrug:

[Monty91]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

A logic you could use for most if not all the team of course.

Just not sure the whole striker thing is as easy or straight forward as we assume.

[Peter]

Probably.

If it is a wild card, who knows.

Honestly though....i really dont think we will be doing anything. I doubt we have done anything all summer beyond monitor the few that wemger fancied. Beyond those i dont think he thinks we need anyone and he is probsbly right.

My only complaint is that we have loaned out too many of the younger players and left the squad a bit light.
