Summer transfer joy and happiness

[Penguin]

I don't think we should get carried away when the signings yet. The current lot aren't anything Unimaginable under Wenger.

The fee for Leno might have surprised but not the player himself. Similarly Sokratis and the Swiss dude.

Torreira would have felt an abberation under Wenger......
But the top dollar signing of Leno has a huge amount to prove and the jury is well and truly out on him. I'd have liked Banega because of all the names above his actual quality right now is fairly apparent to the eye. He'd have a new league to adjust to but all of the names mentioned do.

I agree but I don't think we are getting carried away, if anything most people seem to be underwhelmed by the signings we've made.

Nothing's guaranteed with any new signing but I rate Sokratis, he's a good defender and has the right mentality. Torreira looks good too and he's the type of player we've been missing for a long time. Lichsteiner's just a +1 to give us cover for Bellerin and hopefully to help him improve too.

Leno I'm not sure about. Can an error prone keeper suddenly stop making them?

[Cripps]

Yes. Wojciech Szczęsny.

Stegen, from the bits I've read, was very much like Leno before his move to Barca.

[Power n Glory]

David De Gea was error prone.

I think it’s the fact that areas of concern in the squad are being addressed as a priority that is making it seem more promising. Very unflashy signings but getting in some experienced faces is a good move. Far from convinced about the back-up right back but time will tell over the season. Kante was a nobody when he came to the PL, but he’d get into any team in the world now. Hopefully our new guy is a similar find. We need the Ramsey situation sorted either way too, not only for it hanging over the club but so Emery can organise his core guys he can rely on. Ramsey’s presence/absence will play a big role in how we’re set up and ideally we need a clear idea of our shape ASAP.

I would have liked a winger before the window but now that Perez is staying I suppose we don't need to address that problem anymore.

[SMatthews]

There aren't many specialist wingers in the modern game. Everyone along the front line is a forward now. We saw Aubameyang do well from the left last year. Liverpool are one of the best examples of it at the moment.

Mines a brandy actually Sir Crisps.

Qualitywise, maybe not, but the quantity is something new. As is the immediate pinpointing and addressing of problem areas (with appropriate players who might actually make a difference). Take it in context with all the new faces behind the scenes who are making the decisions and you've got to be at least hopeful for an improvement.

Agree about Banega - I think there's still room for an experienced CM in the group, and he looked like a good option. Hope we're still looking there - I'd maybe take that over the bonus winger at the moment...

Definitely hopeful of improvement me old fruit.....I like the continuous assertions that we will work hard coming out of the club...and I think it would be churlish to underestimate that.

It's partly due to the fact that I hadn't been to a game in bloody ages before Atletico at home....so when I saw Jan Oblak live I just fell in love especially with that save he made. Gutted....absolutely gutted we won't be signing him!
