Agree with this, we've done nothing in the transfer window when it was clear a month and a half ago we needed some quality, a few half arsed win and Theo re-signing and it's all forgotten and like you and Wenger has already said getting Walcott to sign was the most important thing.

Still amazes me that a club of our stature can only deal with one player at a time or at least that's what they want us to think, had we been interested in signing players we'd have been well on our way by now.

As usual though Wenger came up with his excuses of players being cup tied for the CL, the Walcott contract situation and players being too expensive, he's football's biggest joke IMO and I say that knowing that he brings it on himself.

I don't mind Walcott signing on, as I've said I don't think he's anything amazing (we sold all those players that were) but we don't have any better so it's not a bad thing, the lack of signings is however.
