It wasnt really his plan to take a gamble on bendtner, since he was trying to offload him all summer and at the same time were after some pretty good strikers, but Napoli paying silly money for Higuain, Liverpool smoking to much dope and Chelsea pulling out in the last sec, were few of the reasons why it didnt happend this summer, but atleast he have showed that he knows we need proper cover for Giroud and are willing to spend, and i have no doubt we will see a quality striker comming in, in january or summer.
We always seem to struggle with transfers, we pretty much had 3 months to get the players we needed in, you can make excuses about cost and clubs not wanting to sell but at the end of the day you should have a shortlist of players and backup options, I don't think we excel in that department.

Ozil was a fantastic signing but it can mask our deficiencies on the transfer front, we got rid of a number of squad players and brought in two players, think we could have done better than that and should have when taking into consideration the size of our squad and our backup options, there's really no excuse, as mentioned by someone else we have injuries every single season without fail due to the injury prone nature of some of our players.
