Was this our most wasted summer transfer window yet?

We slumped weeks ago. From draws to Boro, Spurs, Utd and losses to Everton, City. Nothing posted after those poor performances.

This isn't a match thread gents. It's looking back at the summer signings now that we're at the half way mark.

True but he's definitely a purveyor of misery, there is wanting Wenger out and there's being Zim

Not my fault the guy is incapable of learning a lesson, most people learn from their mistakes, if not the 2nd time round, then the 3rd, 4th or 5th.

Then we have Wenger who still hasn't learned a thing after 10+ tries.

i dont remember seeing him earlier in the season when we beat Chelsea!

There really was no point posting around then. He could have come and said that this is just a false dawn (like every season) where we have a couple of good performance, good runs and then we piss of and die. But saying this when we beat Chelsea or when we were on our customary 'unbeaten run' would result in "Right now we are doing great and challenging, thats the best we can do".

NQ has stood his ground and kept plugging away throughout the season that the unbeaten run, win against Chelsea etc are what we have been seeing every season and this is no different than the last 10 years. I do it once in a while but like PnG said, most of us are checked out. I follow Arsenal now because they are a part of my life but there is not ONE game that excites me. In the past, I knew our next 10 games off the top of my head. Today, I cant even tell you who we are playing this weekend.

Ok

I was just responding to your post which said he's hardly posted this season. Not true, he was posting plenty in the first couple of months.
No idea why he stopped or why he came back but it's always good to read his balanced and objective opinions.

It's around £90m spent. It's a shitload for what we've bought. Mustafi's price comes down to our own making. Instead of buying early we put ourselves in a position where clubs could inflate the price because they knew we were desperate.

That's a lot of money and we could have used those resources much more wisely, like you said had we gone in early rather than waiting like we usually do the prices may have been lower, the way we go about our transfers defies logic.

I was sceptical about our signings, they were all gambles, expensive ones at that, if you gamble too many times eventually you pay the price.

He was posting early season, then we started doing well and he stopped, now we've slumped he's back.
May be a co-incidence of course, but he was posting plenty at the start of the season.

Do something useful and make a formal apology to Cripps. The Real Cripps. NQ is doing a bad impersonation.

Pretty much how I feel, it's rinse and repeat nothing changes and after 10+ years it's wearing thin. Wenger still thinks we're footballs' entertainers and the best thing since sliced bread, but let's face it he lives in some alternate reality where logic does not apply. Wether he has money or not doesn't matter, because he'll choose to spend it in some odd way that makes little sense to most people, that's pretty much what happened last summer, you wouldn't find one person that would have got even close to guessing the signings we made before they happened, there's a good reason for that.

If you want to sum up Wenger these days, just go back and watch his 1000th game in charge, that sums up the man.
