Which other TOP club has such obvious gaps which their manger refuses to address??

He's had 2 months to find defenders and has failed to, we should already have our players by now so we can bed them in a bit in pre-season.....but no as usual we're still "in the market".

Harsh tbh.

The waiting period doesnt end til August 1st. Not allowed to buy players before that

arshavin says we've been working on defending set pieces so we'll see during the season

That's a very simplistic view. Whilst it's true we are in the waiting period until August 1st, after that we will be in the "in between" market and Wenger has clearly stated nothing is happening in that particular market until some unnamed club kicks the proceedings off. So it's not that we're not allowed to buy players, in fact other teams have been buying during the waiting period because they aren't in the in-between market, most of them are in the 0-10mill market whereas the top clubs are in the 20-30mill market. But we're the only club in the in-between market which is a key reason we haven't bought yet. Plus Wenger and the board are tight-arse fuckers. Hopefully that's all clear to you now.

There is no 20-30 million market.

Only a 30-50 million one.

At least get your facts right ffs.

Sorry, I'm new to this in-between market. I'd never heard of it until Wenger made it up last week.
