Why did we have discussions about Fabregas when Wenger already knew he'd never leave Barcelona ?
Whilst I would agree with some of your list others on it were just rumours

From what I heard there was a point at the end of last la Liga season when Cesc was serious about having major talks with Barca then the coach gets ill and Cesc was off for some tin pot Summer tournament, the new Barca coach was installed and Cesc was convinced to stay although possibly only delaying a review until end of this season.
At one point we were in pole to re-sign him
 
Some of the white lightning specials you see hanging out behind the reporters on deadline day always make me laugh. The one's in Stoke are always particularly beautiful..

People only believe we were in pole position to sign him because we have first refusal on him
 
Ok so basically us and spurs have gone for Ba and Chelsea have rejected both of us in favour of letting a non-rival unnamed EPL club (possibly Newcastle or West Ham) do a deal. However Ba has said he doesn't want to go anywhere if it's not to a CL club. Still possibilities of this happening or not happening.
 
If cesc has another frustrating season at Barca i think we might well see him in the red kit in the premiership next season. Unfortunately i don't think it will be in London...
 
I know it's not quite done yet, but the Ozil deal has got to be the deal of this window. He is absolute quality and a real intention of where we're heading. I know Wenger has left it late, but those who were slagging him of in this window need to take a step back and eat a massive piece of humble pie, it is a brilliant signing and has made the wait more than worth while.

What makes it so much sweeter is that it's happened on the back of the spuds selling their best player, which has enabled us to buy one of the best creative midfield player in the world. <ok>

Chelsea agree terms with Unnamed club for BA and CL football

I think you mis-heard. They have agreed terms with an un-named club, but Ba has said he won't leave unless its for a CL club. So we have no idea what will happen yet.

There are rumours that West Ham have shown interest
 
I'd settle for that, especially with Giroud finding a bit of form. Hopefully next summer we can get a striker sorted without all the messing around

Leaving it this late, and still not addressing other issues in the squad, will still earn Wenger and co some valid criticism. For the majority of this window, we have been a shambles, and getting Ozil does not change that fact.
