I agree with this up until the last sentence. Surely if we don't add any players because they wouldn't add any overall quality to the squad, then it's up to the players who are already in the squad who have the better quality to ensure that we get into the top four.

No, It's obvious the squad has weaknesses and this is an oppurtunity to address that.

If he thinks this squad is anywhere near as strong as our rivals (City,United and Chelsea) then he's no longer the right man for the job.

It seems to me he wants to work a certain way and is refusing to change despite the gradual decline we are going through and to me that does'nt seem right. This is'nt Arsene Wengers 'Project' this is Arsenal FC and the fans deserve better.

I think the squad needs strengthening, but I can't agree with the rest of your comment. As you pointed out in an earlier comment, what's the point of buying players for the sake of it if they're not going to be any better than what we've got ?
 
I still refuse to believe that Wenger won't strengthen his squad in this transfer window. He can't be that stupid. You can't trust Diaby to stay fit, Ramsey and Coquelin are hit and miss at the best of times. We only have three CB's and without Mert, the other two are clueless when they have to play together. And we all know about the problems upfront.

You would think, especially with the players who have left, that we will strengthen. I don't know why people get so irate about Wenger's media responses about transfers as he's always been coy about what he says to the press. I've no doubt he is working on some deals, whether we can pull them off remains to be seen . . .

I hope I am wrong but it seems the only Thing Wenger will "pull off" this window is his prick

Sure, but there are (and have been) plenty of players out there that..
a). would improve our Squad
b). we CAN afford.

Buying players that dont improve the squad is pointless but there are PLENTY of players out there that would. And most importantly money is available.
So it's all down to Wengers judgement.

Got any names ?
 
I've already accepted we're not signing anyone this window, I won't be spending next thursday watching SSN and hoping for something like last time
 
While we are waiting for Wenger to sign super super quality players can we tell each other jokes to keep up morale
my effort as follows

Here is two interesting facts about me!
1) My knob is the same length as 2 argos pens!
2) I am barred from argos

Ba - prolific striker.
Sturridge - can play central or on the wing.
M'Vila - No-nonsense DM, tall, athletic, powerful.
Sissoko - See above.
Sneijder - Class attacking midfielder, won HUGE amounts, great experience.

Ba - good buy for Chelsea by the looks of it.
Sturridge - £12m is a lot of money, Walcott is much better.
M'Vila - Why did no big club want him ?
Sissoko - time will tell, he looks like a promising player.
Sneijder - Big risk for a lot of money.

Hardly a good reason for turning down a player.

Sneijder went for under 10m. Sturridge could play WITH Theo, he wouldn't have been a replacement.
You've essentially said that Ba, M'Vila and Sissoko are players that you wouldn't have minded coming in?

Not sure what wage Sneijder is on, it was reported he wasn't too happy a big cut.
I don't massively rate Sturridge and for £12m I'd have been disappointed if Arsenal had bought him.

As for the others, yes I'd like to have seen them at Arsenal (although I'm perplexed about M'Vila and unsure about Sissoko). I'm not arguing that we don't need to strengthen. And it is surprising why there wasn't more interest for the M'Via and Sissoko.

Loads mate, here's a few...


Forwards..

David Villa
Jovetic
Stephan El Shaarawy
Dzeko
Higuiane
Benzema
Llorente (looks to have signed for Juve for a miniscule £3 Mill though)
Edison Cavani
Lewandowski

CM/DM's:

Strootman
Diame
Sven Bender
M'Vila (looks like we missed this one too)
Sissoko (also just missed out on)
Wanyama
Claudio Yacob

CB's:

Benedikt Howedes
Hummels(I wish!)
Chielleni
Subotic
Ranocchia
Daniel Agger
Heiko Westermann

and dare i say it.. Steven Caulker

AM's: (I dont think we NEED to strengthen here but I would'nt turn down a Top class addition)

Isco
Goetze
Willian
Gourcuff
Eriksen

GK's

Reina
Vorm
Steklenburg
Samir Handanovic
René Adler

etc..

All either TOP class already or with the potential to be. Most of these players wont come cheap but then that's capitalism for you. Most importantly they would ALL strengthen our squad considerably.
