Even the diehard Wengerites have to agree that this transfer window is going pretty badly. The team isn't good enough to challenge, that is a clear fact. Yes it's a good team but it won't win the league, that is clear to see. The squad itself is clearly too thin, this is what Wenger himself admitted. The board, including Wenger have officially come out and said we no longer have any financial constrains, in fact, everything is absolutely fabulous. For the first time in ages Wenger can now buy the players he wants. The big question is why hasn't he? In the early days, he never once stopped himself from buying quality, when the money was available. Maybe he's set in his ways now. Maybe he's so used to not spending now that he finds the prospect of spending large amounts of money repulsive? Or maybe he has no intention of signing another contract so that's why he isn't bothered about signing any players? Maybe he has a master plan and we'll end up with some amazing players. Who knows....

Reserving judgment for September 3rd. Until then it's pointless getting worked up as we quite clearly know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes. I really think though, for the first time, Wenger is in the firing line if he doesn't produce something this season.

Most logical option. Still it is funny seeing everyone getting near heart attacks while we are here just waiting
 
@OliverKayTimes: Uh oh ... RT @DickinsonTimes: Arsenal fans look away now... @BrazilStats: Bild confirms that Wolfsburg have signed Luiz Gustavo for €15M

Don't shoot the messenger <ok>
 
Seen it. Will wait until tomorrow and his official statement as WoB apparently said it was a done deal weeks ago (found out now). Let's hold fire.

Has it actually been confirmed though ? The Bild story reads like another speculative stab in the dark to be honest.

Only seen this tweet guys, no idea whether its true or not, just thought I'd pass it on <ok>

Absolutely agree. But the pessimist in me is being a right twat at the moment.
