It's ridiculous. I just don't understand what is going on.
How have we not managed to even make offers for players yet? The season starts in just over a week.
It's nothing new, we do this ever single summer, in the end we either drag it out and sign noone or panic buy and settle for the scraps.
I agree though, nothing stops us bidding for players, except for the fact we might not want to spend money, in that case it makes perfect sense not to bid.
Nothing really ever changes, last summer I got my hopes up but not this one. Even if we sign better players we will still be stuck with the same rigid formations / tactics and an inherent ability to self destruct at any given time!
You would think though that some lessons might have been learned by now, yet we are facing another last minute trolley dash. Probably after the season has started. Not sure if its complacency or incompetence.
This is Wenger we're talking about. He’ll never learn. Even if we somehow pull off some signings and get off to a good start this season, if we need that extra boost to get us over the line in January, he won’t sign anyone. He’s an idiot that won’t learn. He did it last season when we needed players in January to topple Leicester. He did in January 2013/14 where he brought in Kallstrom
We needed a striker and CM just to keep us ticking over after leading the league most of the season. We had it in a couple of January windows during RVP’s era where we were flying but did nothing to sustain the momentum so we dropped off. Heck, this goes as far back as the 2007/08 season where we finished on 83 points but were rocked by injuries and fell apart. He’s stupid enough to keep repeating the same mistake. We have at least 4 or 5 occasions where he’s had a chance to correct the mistakes from 07/08 and he’s yet to do it.
Over the seasons I've gone through chronic bemusement, rage, incredulity and all the other extreme states Wenger induces. Not this time. I'm not even frustrated. I'm not falling for it again.
It's all very amusing when you really stop to think about it. This man, Wenger, he's right up there with the greats. Jacques Clouseau. Johnny English, Frank Spencer, Mr Bean. You have to try to see the humour in this or else what else is there? Everyone else is laughing at our club, we need to start getting the joke ourselves.

Take this, for instance:
Go on. Admit it. Jonny Evans. Can you see any of our rivals coming up with humour on this scale? They aren't in our league.Arsenal have made enquiries for Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi and West Brom's Jonny Evans but have yet to make a bid.
Für eure Sicherheit
Relax everyone, we've just signed Kelechi Nwakali, Wenger has not let us down, all this waiting period wasn't for nothing.
Akpom isn't going out on loan, we have the striker we were desperate for, Wenger is right you have to be realistic and give the players at the club that deserve it a chance.
