Was this our most wasted summer transfer window yet?

We have signed premium talent, nothing has changed.The manager is the reason we are not good enough to push for major honours.

Yep, nail on head. If we gave Wenger 200 million I don't actually think he would improve the team. He's the problem, the constant in season upon season of under achievement.

Wenger cannot motivate his teams enough and doesn't get the best of of them. When you look at the city and Everton defeats, the players we had out there should have roasted both teams but we lost in exactly the same way. Weak mentality, or enough instructions from the bench and game management was zero.

Agreed.

The way I see it, we have a very talented team technically if not the most talented in the league. We've seen what they can do when they are fired up, work their socks off and to a set game plan. Sadly we obviously haven't seen anywhere near enough of that, for various reasons which ultimately lead to a couple of doors. ......poor management of the team and lack of sporting ambition from the board and owner.

We've got four world class players (Sanchez, Ozil, Bellerin, Kos) surrounded by a couple of very good players (Carzola, Mustafi) and several good/decent players (Perez, Coquelin, Ox, Iwobi, Welbeck, Cech). Of course we can always strengthen and maybe need to in a couple of areas, but that's not a bad outfit. The only thing lacking is a manager who has not only the ability but most importantly, the balls to run the team. We need a manager with a ruthless will to win and can transmit that to the team, and demand full application win or lose.

There's a whole lot of fucking slackness going at this club, far too much skylarking for my liking.

Good post,totally agree.Heard someone recently that we have a really good team we just need a really good manager,can't say I disagree.

Awful transfer window wasted on the wrong players.

Xhaka - not worth the money we paid, not convinced he was the right player to sign though we did new a DM
Mustafi - again relatively unknown, really expensive for someone with no real pedigree
Perez - Once again we waste our money on players that aren't suitable, we needed an out and out goalscorer but we went for a glorified winger, that was never going to end well.

In the end though, Wenger never gets it right, he either doesn't spend the money or when he does signs all the wrong players and wastes millions, the guy just needs to leave and let someone who know what they're doing take over.

As for our latest addition, what an absolute joke, the guy was about to quit part time football to find himself a job and then we go and snap him up lol

The opinion of Le Grove for what it's worth is that Wenger is playing Xhaka as a box to box midfielder when he should be playing him as a deep lying playmaker and therefore we are not getting what we should be getting out of him.

The problem with getting an out and out goal scorer was who do you get?.....the only big striker move in the summer was Higuain from Napoli to Juventus for 75million. Man City could not get Aubemeyang, Real Madrid could not get Lewandowski.....out and out strikers of great quality are a rarity. I think Lucas Perez might have been a panic buy, but 16million reflects the absurdity of the current market and I have to say I actually like what i've seen of him....i just think he needs to play more.

[Goonermerree]

I don't know if I like Perez or not, he's looked good at times, but he deifinately needs to play more.
