We need to sell Diaby too, can't sell him now because he's injured again.

We are apparently not mercurial enough to undo a failing 5 year project in one summer.

This will be a shitty season but with any luck we'll be on the right course by next summer.

Next summer huh?
With a new manager?

I genuinely don't understand what's going on at this club anymore.

Exactly, Enrique only cost £6M pounds, so we wouldn't have to break the bank to get him. It's almost as if Wenger's finally realised how shite Traore is after yesterday's match, and with the injuries to Gibbs and Vermaelen, finally understands the need to sign another left back.

The top 3 are far too strong and consistent and Liverpool have got their shit in order after their crisis period, we have now swapped with them. If someone offered me 4th now I'd snap their arm off but I just don't see it this year.

Id say Liverpool have got their shit together, bought in the summer early enough for their players to get accustomed to each other, watching tgem play it looks as if Carrol is the odd one out
But would I give to have a hard worker like Kuyt in the team, Parker could have provided that graft but no we will miss that one thank you

Suarez too, how did we miss that guy
TBH Im not buying this lone striker crap, would much prefer two top

Maybe thats why the club don't want to spend money, they know this season will be one in the wild. Something deep is going on, i mean will we be selling Theo/RVP and Arshavin in this window 2 ffs

interesting

Traore actually leaving?

If Wenger doesn't have someone already lined up, not including the 3 players already mentioned, then he's fucking mental.

Even though it's close, Traore is better than bloody nobody

The only deep thing going on will be wenger in his concrete boots at the bottom of the thames if he carries this shit on!

Having been confronted with irrefutable evidence that he does not, in fact, have the prettiest wife at home, Wenger is out on the prowl. And he didn't have to venture very far before spotting someone he fancies: The Sun says he's about to offer £10m for Chelsea centre-back Alex, whose habit of being easily brushed aside by energetic scamps such as Shane Long makes him a perfect fit for the Arsenal back-line. Other defenders still being linked with a move to the Emirates are Gary Cahill, Phil Jagielka and Lamine Sakho.

But not Scott Dann because he's on his way to Queen's Park Rangers, where he'll be joined by Shaun Wright-Phillips and the Chelsea left-back Ryan Bertrand.

Chelsea will treat themselves to a new left-back, but the bad news for Wenger is it's Leighton Baines, for whom the Frenchman had just about psyched himself up to a make a bumper bid. Now he'll have to bump it up a bit more.
