No chance of ever getting him now. Not that we would have paid his original release clause anyway.
Is Gervinho going to be trusted with making us more clinical up front then? Doesn't seem like we're in the market for a striker. Shame.

Although I feel the same frustration at the lack of business
to be fair we still have a month till the start of the season and a further half montg till the end of the transfer market , there is still plenty of time for business to be done. . . ..
Unlike some I dont think AW is a complete muppet and I cant imagine taking on the challenges of the coming season with the same squad as last, most of all if we do finally get shod of Bendtner and Denilson.
His semi acknowledgement of last seasons achilles heel makes me optimistic that changes are forthcoming, because in my view Squacl and Eboue should not be allowed to man the defence, dont agree that Kos was a bad player last season, not the best but a viable option none the less
I expect Wenger to use the tour to see what he has, see what the squad are like state of mind, plenty of paper talk will have had an effect and hopefully come back with a few business ideas in mind or ready to seal.
A striker and CB(s) cos I would go for both Samba and Cahill would be a start, RvP is going to most definitely need support
another reason why I think, hope AW has a plan is because of the new look board, he either grew up with or gave glory to the old board but with the new gang there are a few that dont have to do him any favours, if they make money available, like we have heard in the past they are going to expect him tp do something with it, because they gave it to him, they are not going to fall for or ultimatley put up with his talk of an already strong enough squad when qyite clearly it isn't
this is being said with a huge pinch hope and I have readied myself for a possible fall but for me as for most, it really is avout my love of Aresenal and I wll be cheerimg the 11 that take the field at SJP - just pray Im not too disappointed about who they are, thhats all!
there will be more incoming for sure. he was spot on about the waiting period as we can see from a lot of clubs, i mean city have hardly gone mental have they?
there are 6 weeks left of the window and i think in the last 3/4 weeks it will all go absolutely mental as sellers realise prices have to be dropped and then everyone gets their wallets out
i think the fans will get on his back when we draw to liverpool at home and lose to united away. i doubt we'll get more than 2 points in our opening 3 games as toon away aint exactly an easy game either. so he may be forced to buy late on in the transfer window.
I think we'll probably see one more signing, a defender.
A lot depends on Cesc & Nasri though, if they go then he'll be forced to buy more.
Doubt he's signing a defender with all the shite he's spouted about our defense being solid.
We'll buy a midfielder if Cesc/Nasri go, maybe a striker if Bendtner goes, otherwise expect more kids.

Arsene isn't a man to bow down to pressure, especially pressure from fans & the media.
He's not a man who will panic buy either, I reckon if we don't see any action in the next few weeks then that's our business done.
I agree with most of that, especially that this tour is going to inform our moves in the market. If a few players don't seem to be cutting it, on the pitch and/or off it I would imagine it'd be easier to see on tour and help form accurate opinions, especially about the youngsters.
Reputable Costa Rican website EverardoHerrera reports that Arsenal executive Richard Law has arrived in Costa Rica to negotiate the signing of 19-year old striker Joel Campbell.
