Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

[Özim]

Arsenal's first-team squad now consists of just 23 players. And that's including the injured Santi Cazorla, and new youngster Mavropanos. So basically 21 players. Doesn't leave much room for injuries, which have been known to happen.

They've realised lack of transfers are annoying people at last, but to fund these rather than spend some of the profits they're selling more players and bringing in money and also losing their salary off the wage bill. We're probably making even more money than we were before the transfer window now.

Well played Arsenal, must be the only big club in the world that never spends any of the profits, never challenges for big prizes and yet manages to keep the fans happy.

We failed with a last minute bid for Evans apparently (close shave that one), what I find funny is that it's almost as if we didn't realise we needed a defender till we lost to Swansea, why else would you put in a last minute bid?

Interestingly there's still no deal signed for Wilshire, not got much time left if we want to get him signed up.

[Cripps]

Arsenal sell their top scorer in each of the past five seasons (Walcott 21 goals, Giroud 22, Sanchez 25, Giroud 24 and Sanchez 30) in the space of 14 days.

That's a lot of goals.

Got to balance the books and all that, wouldn't mind if we brought in a similar number to what we got rid of, but we haven't.

Not sure we can afford to let Wilshere go. Most of our midfield options would look more at home at Watford than a top 6 club.

I can't see us picking up any injuries, tbf. We don't move around fast enough. Bellerin's hair might break in a strong wind, I suppose. Or Xhaka could get blown over.
