Chill with that talk, boys
Whats that my dear?
Im a little underwhelmed at the moment, I was genuinely expecting a massive signal of intent from the club with a couple of £20m signings.
But the more I have time to let it all sink in, the more I am coming round to the idea of it not being quite so bad.
Mertesacker is a good buy along with Santos. Im looking forward to seeing what Cream of sum yung gai can do, and I reckon Arteta could turn out to be a quality buy. He hasnt been the player he was when he first turned up at Everton, but it could be the case that he was stagnating there and he may try and up his game now he's here.
Yossi Im really not sure what to make of, but at least its another experienced squad player to have.
The main thing is we now have experienced players in the team, one an international captain, one a confederations cup winner, plenty of leadership and hopefully the spirit and mentality of winners. Im particularly looking forward to seeing Per drag the fucking pussies weve got in the team up on their feet and tell them, in no uncertain terms, to fucking grow a pair and fight to win every game!!!
All in all, not a bad couple of days business tbh.

Gervinho - hasn't looked anything special from the little he's played. Juries outJenkinson - shit but expected from a 5th rate playerAOC -Park - underwhelming signing when someone of genuine quality was needed. Santos - Good attacking wise, we'll see how he goes on defensively. Not my first choice for a LB but let's see how he doesMertesacker - Quality CB. Exactly what we need. Not the fastest but played in the right way and he's awesome.Benayoun - shiteArteta - never rated him highly when he was at his best and he's nowhere near that atm and at 29 its unlikely he'll reach his best again. Overall these signings won't win us any trophies but they saved the club and the board money and that's all that matters tbh.
Only care for the Mertesacker and Gervinho signings really. We will see what Santos is capable of... Arteta, Benayoun, Park etc...typical signings. They will do enough to keep us in the top 4 but thats about it.
Wenger still needs to go, along with the rest of the people in charge. I cant help but notice the tidy profit made this summer. It will be interesting to see where the rest of the cash goes.
We are now so reliant on injury prone players, I really wanted a real goal scoring striker, not the Park fool, Arteta is good, player but the last two seasons he's picked up injuires, when Gervinho goes to the ANC, will Yossi even be fit, and what about Song, we can't rely on Frimpong, and Coquelin at the crucial point of the season.
I'm really not sure what we have at the moment, Wenger really mismanaged things this summer.
perhaps some jan signings will be made when gerv and chams (shams) go off to the acon
Honestly I don't really have any qualms with these signings other than Park and Yossi, it's actually a decent team. But a team like this that really doesn't have supreme talent in key spots, needs a manager to really do a great job of coaching em' up.
And that's the problem, Wenger can't coach anybody up, I think we can all it see now, that it was all on the players in the Invincible era.
Park will be ok, he's the south korea captain and will work his arse off for the team.
Lets just wait and see before we write hm off.
Like a lot of people here, I’m pretty under whelmed. It’s a difficult one really, if you’d handed me that list of In’s and Out’s at the beginning of June I’d have said that’s a stinker of a transfer window! But seeing how weak our squad was on Sunday the last couple of days have seen a big improvement.
Overall, we’re probably a little weaker than we were last season, and we weren’t good enough then! But as Coney and Letters said, let’s wait and see how these new guys bed in over the next couple of months then we can really start to judge where we’re at.
