How the hell would I know who he has bid for? But there are plenty of average players around he could have signed for 20M and bigged them up, like Spurs have done. Spurs signings give them a shot at top 4, but is anyone picking spurs for the PL title? NO.
So lets be clear, as "Good" as people say Spurs window has been, our fans would not have been happy with exactly the same signings, because very few of them would actually make our first XI, or make us favorites for the title.
Are you sure about this. You got a whole extra point last year so it seems likely that four or five of our players are better than yours. We've lost one of those but signed at least three players who have improved us in other positions. Surely at least two of Capoue, Soldado, Lamela and Paulinho would improve you?
Come on now... There is one thing to big up your team, another to be delusional. We can all hope their new signings seriously under-perform and fail, but to say they will not improve our team is taking the proverbial!How the hell would I know who he has bid for?

Breaking news on SSN - " Cyrstal Palace in talks to sign striker Nicklas Bendtner from Arsenal."
The tragic thing is that we are such in state that selling Bendtner might not be in our best interest now. That's how bad this situation has got.

It looks like we'll sign someone, so I guess it depends on how you define top quality. Personally, if we get some unknown French player for < 10 mil and an aging Italian striker with a god-awful goals/games ratio, that won't be enough.I've been consistent with my views all summer. If we bring in one or two 'top quality' players before the end of the window then I'll only have praise for the club, if though after telling everybody that we can now compete with the top clubs on transfers and wages and that we will be strengthening this window only to end up with two free signings, then I will also be calling for change in the club, because thus far it's been a bloody shambles.
You can't say Wenger has been "too ambitious" this summer then say you've no idea who he's gone for - that's completely contradictory.
You can theorise & speculate all you want about reasons and bids and ideas but the only thing that counts is
In:
Sanogo
Flamini
That's it. In the summer of promised spectacular signings, in the summer of finally competing with the big boys, in the summer of this is Wengers last chance to prove he's still got it, he has, without a shadow of a doubt, universally proven that he does not.
