NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Have to say now the window is about to close I’ve been a little bit underwhelmed with our activity this summer. I’m hopeful for the new regime but that’s about it, I can’t say our signings have filled me new found confidence. If this had been a Wenger window I’m sure there would have been some choice words to be said for the players we’ve signed.
Having said that though, I’m looking forward to Sunday and the start of new chapter. A sold out and buzzing Emirates. COYG.
I'm with you, it's underwhelming, interested to see how Emery will do but it could be a rocky start for him unfortunately as he's been unlucky with the fixtures. Lacazette and Aubameyang together is exciting though.
We've also done a poor job of getting rid of the deadwood IMO, we could have brought in some cash for other new signings had we been better, that's players like Xhaka, Perez, Welbeck, Ospina or Cech, Jenkinson, Mustafi, Campbell, they all seem to still be here although Perez is close to moving.
On top of that the Ramsey situation still isn't sorted which is a shocker, we should have sorted it or sold him and used that money by now.

I think weve improved central midfield with the Torreira signing, plus Maitland-Niles and Guendouzi knocking on be door.
But agree with others on concerns over other areas, particularly the centre of defence if he's planning to go with Mustafi and Sokratis as his starters.
From the preseason games I get the impression he still doesn't know how to get the best out of all the attacking players. Hopefully their quality will pull us out of some holes.
22 years won't be wiped away in the space of a handful of meaningless warm up games with a team half filled with kids and back-up options.
Hopefully Torreira will do a great job of making our defence look better than it actually is.
Either way, it's going to be a long season similar to the last couple and we won't get to see what Emery can really do until the last third/start of next season.
Don't want him either.
This is a guy who has carved out a career in the minor leagues in Europe.
If he was young then fair play but he's not.
For 25million I would rather pass and add that amount to splashing on a good quality emerging CB in the summer if we need one.
Yep agreed.
Torreira is the guy we're all pinning our hopes on I suppose, if he turns out to be a revelation we should have a competitive team.
The defence has all sorts of question marks but we've been left with too many scars from the past for those worries to go away so soon.
It is inevitable that Spuds will sell Alderweireld to Man Utd and buy someone, probably Grealish.
I would love to see Alderweireld stay at Spuds and leave next summer without Spuds getting anything for him but it won't happen.
Will Arsenal allow Ramsey to stay in the same situation or will they sell him ?
Far from a guarantee. Man U have loads of CB's and you'd have thought they'd have signed Alderweireld by now if they wanted him. They don't need to play chess or slowly slowly catchy monkey like we normally do. They are good for the money.
I think a lot of the clubs are just waiting for the English transfer buying window to close. Real Madrid have been suspiciously quiet as have most of the other big clubs.
