Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Again not fretting, just think it will be a shame if we shun the opportunity to take the initiative and push Chelsea all the way for the title.

Plus we are going to get spanked in the ashes so who cares.

We're generally painfully slow in the transfer market so it's no big surprise we haven't bought anyone but Cech, wouldn't surprise is this is it with the summer business either (other than some low profile players), Wenger was happy with last season and this usually leads to little of no change in the squad. It's disappointing if that's the case, but we never seem to want to go the extra mile to be genuine contenders for the big trophies so it's big surprise to anyone.

Last year we actually got our business done quite early, which was unusual. Usually it's all very last minute, but that's not that important. It would be nice to have players bedding in during pre-season but longer term it doesn't make much difference.
I was pretty happy with last season too, the start was a car crash but we picked up and for two thirds of the season we matched Chelsea stride for stride, I don't think there's much wrong with our squad.
I'd be happier with a proper, world class striker and some more cover at CB, even without those I think we'll go pretty close next year.

A nobody tells us nothing

Only 55 days to go until the window slams shut.

You were moaning we're not being linked with anyone. Arguably, we're still not, but it's still a rumour of a transfer. Probably nonsense, but you were the one claiming some correlation between paper-talk and us doing business.



EDIT: That was at HCZ.

Would love to believe this but the Metro is full of garbage, along with its ugly sister the Evening Standard it's possibly the worst paper for transfer rumours.

Stretching my point when the guy says "oh I can't tell you who", my point was not that loads and loads of rumours necessarily mean we are going to definitely sign someone, my point is that a dirge of rumours tends to suggest a quiet summer.

Anyway I've not categorically said we aren't signing anyone, I've stated that as things stand it looks unlikely.

Yes I get what people say that Wenger will sign someone if he thinks that player is amazing and is an improvement on anything we have but when you have two glaring positions need filling, let's hope it's not another attacking midfielder.
