What do our transfers tell us about our club/manager?

Photoshop last year's photo with new faces? Might look a little weird with Mertesacker's head on Cesc's body due to the No. 4 shirt but the rest could work.

Do it someone. Could keep me amused for the rest of the day :dance:

Interesting note in the Daily Mail, apparently Wenger spent the whole of yesterday in Switzerland at a coaches' conference. Does this tell us what we need to know about who's calling the shots in the transfer market? Surely if his decisions were critical in this area he'd need to be on-hand on deadline day? Being on the phone is one thing but not comparable to direct involvement. Or had he already worked the targets out by Wednesday morning? If so, it didn't look that way and they cut things a little fine. It's odd he wasn't around yesterday.

Think the targets were all planned....probably drew up lists of targets, and went through them one by one, crossing through ones which cost the extra £2.36 as they went. Cheap ones to go for, gentlemens agreement ones all ready for TDD.

What a cunt.

Did a Google search for "Arsenal Squad Photo 2011-12" but this is all I could find. You'll have to make do I'm afraid.

You said you wanted it photoshopped - make up your fucking mind.

I prefer a bit more meat on my women but she's hot!

Anyways back on topic, I think the transfers tell us that Wenger panicked and ended up making do with players he obviously likes but not his primary targets.

If Wenger would have been prepared to pay up we probably would have purchased Jagielka, Mata & M'Vila in addition to Gervinho & the young projects like Oxo & Jenkinson.

I personally don't think Wenger has changed that much, yes he's gone for experience, but it remains to be seen to whether they are super quality.

I'm relieved at the current state of the squad but certainly not satisfied. The squad was in really bad shape this time last week.
