Well Ben White did try

Didn't you post something similar about 2 days into the transfer window when I thought it was a bit early to call the whole window a fiasco.
That said, HCZ's point about the way we are playing is of more concern. I actually think we've done pretty good business this summer but if we play the same shit as we did for much of last season then it won't yield much.

Two separate things.

I still would like us to do our business a bit earlier, then the players are in and training and don't have to get up to match fitness a couple of games before we start the season (like Gyokores for example).

But I agree, our style of play was fucking awful last season and there has been little change from what I've seen in preseason. I am more concerned with that but what I posted highlights why - it's only preseason, but it's useful game time for Arteta to start implementing a better style of play that is more effective. Something which he appears to not have done.
If we keep doing the same thing we won't see the benefit of the new players we have.
