although looking at it we don't need any squad fillers so only a super super player is required. plenty of options up front, and midfield. and only real weakness is maybe a back up right back but even there there are options.

I guess that's why there are only 14 pages.

We have a pretty good squad. I think we have the best squad in the league, but we play with a 4th rate manager.. hence the disinterest.

I don't think it's that no one was hoping for activity, there just aren't any glaring holes in the squad that need to be plugged. January windows are awful, should be scrapped really.

Who currently has us above other most of the other clubs whose managers cocks you've been sucking.

You think it will last all season?

Being above those managers I mean. What FY does in his spare time is up to him. :lol:

I'll judge it at the end of the season :sulk:

I do think this is the best squad we've had for a long time. The next 2 games will tell us a lot, if we win tonight and Chelsea drop points then we could go to Stamford Bridge knowing that a win would put us back in it.
We know how those games usually end of course. If we lose to Chelsea - I expect us to, honestly - then it's same old Arsenal. Hope springs eternal though.

We have seen this before and talked about this before. I would take many of the managers below us- Pochettino, Klopp, Karanka, Koeman over who we have. At least if we are not winning, we will at least be entertained. With the moron in charge, we dont win nor do we play decent football. But let's judge him at the end of this season, and then give him till the end of next season and continue on this back and forth till we both die. :good:

Wasn't bothered in the slightest about this transfer window. I think our squad is good enough to win the league and isn't in need of any specific and urgent improvement.

The best signing we can make now is a new manager, players won't make a difference anymore. Most of us accept this hence the antipathy.

I think we have enough bodies but quality wise......the central midfield needs addressing. Again. We haven't come close to replicating our best performance since Cazorla got injured.

Also, we need a winger. A proper goal scoring, playmaking winger and not a striker playing wide or a central player being asked to do a job wide.

It's not much but in terms of selection, we don't have much to work with in these areas. The quality isn't there unless we rejig the whole system and we know that won't happen under Wenger and so late on in the season.

Come on, surely by now you've realised we're not in it and never will be with the manager we have, , we don't have a hope of winning the title, we've shown this time and time and time and time again, yes we appear to be in the mix but come crunch time we'll fall away faster than a large rock dropped from space.

There is no ifs with this club, just when, as in when we'll collapse like a house of cards.
