I will judge him come the 1st of February. This team may scrape 4th, but it won't get it comfortably without reinforcements.

Gazidis says there's money available, and I believe him. There's no reason not to. Stadium debt is down, new sponsorship deals are in place, a huge increase in TV money is coming in in the summer guaranteed, Champions League money is coming in. Players have left freeing up wages.

Wenger says he's looking for players. Chelsea managed to find one, Liverpool managed to find one, Arsenal don't seem to be able to find any. The only reason I can see for that, is Wenger as he's in charge of player recruitment.

Would you really like us to have gone for Sturridge ?
 
What on earth is happening with this Walcott contract? I bet Wenger and co are putting it off until the end of the transfer window and then go 'look here is your new signing'. <doh>

I agree we need strengthening, question is can we find the right player and do it ?

I don't take into account anything that other clubs are doing to be frank with you.

Perfect timing <ok>

Wenger says his phone is full of offers, and he talked about 'most of them' they could afford and some they couldn't. I think it's clear that he is in the market. It remains to be seen though if we can do the right deal for the right player.

If he doesn't, I'll be disappointed.
But I don't want him bringing in any more 'deadwood' just to appease the fans either.

Good point about the "Deadwood"
I think Wenger's normally brilliant player Radar went a bit haywire with some of the last transfers like Gervinho/santos/squlchi/park/Ryo
but as I said normally first class so lets hope Wenger finds his transfer form this time.

Ryo? He's talent, but he's been injured and Wigan won't play him for some reason.

If we were looking to spend £30m+ on a player I'd absolutely agree with you that we need to find the right player. As it is, there are many players available for cheap (if newspaper gossip is to be believed) that could improve our squad.

Gervinho - very technically gifted player, just beset with lack of composure and confidence.
Santos - Actually pretty good on the left wing, totally out of position for LB and gambles in the tackle.
Squillaci - Looked like a good sigining, France capped and playing CL football for Seville.
Park - Complete mystery ?!?!
Ryo - Bad loan move

Other than Park (who scored a great goal for us in the league cup) I think the others were decent enough decisions at the time. Wenger also signed, Podolski, Giroud, Cazorla, Arteta, Mertesacker in the same time frame <ok>

Yes As i said we come to expect Wenger to work miracles and I think he will again but I do think the players I mentioned are average at best
and to make another point every team needs perhaps 1 or 2 technically average players who are tasty geezers and will run through a wall for the team Wenger seems to overlook these kind of guys
No issue at all with Podolski, Giroud, Cazorla, Arteta, Mertesacker

depends on what you mean by 'run through a wall' ? but I think we've got a core of die hards in Szczesny, Jenkinson, Wilshere, Gibbs and Frimpong

I guess I miss not having a Marauding defensive midfielder who can scare opposition by growling at them also every good team need a "hard man"
Yes the core you mention will be good for future no doubt (I think Gibbs may have to move forward not stay as fullback) we need a left back
 
It's a bad sign that in the middle of January, newspapers can't even be bothered to make up transfer rumours for Arsenal. One paltry entry for Arsenal in BBC's transfer gossip column...

There have been very few mentions of Arsenal in the BBC's gossip column but plenty of newspapers have been reporting gossip about transfers e.g. Remy & Lopez
