you are too much in the wanting zone.

Does the wanting period come before or after the waiting period? I've got confused by all this. I preferred it when there were no official delays and we just got on with it. But get with the times I suppose. Are there any other obligatory delays I should know about and when you ad them all up will there still be enough time in the window to actually do anything?

That's called the "Ten Minute Panic Zone" ™

That's when we call Robbie Savage and arrange a loan deal from ESPN?

No, that´s why Wenger wants to get rid of the january transfer window, he doesn´t know what to do with it. He´s carefully divided it into periods, but at the end he forgot to add a "buying period" and now he´s very upset.

I guess there's so much to do in preparation for buying super quality players it's no wonder there's no time left to actually buy them. Probably why clubs like Utd and City cheat and jump straight into the buying process before doing all the other stuff. These clubs have ruined the game really.

1. The "I will see, but we have *insert name* to come back, and *insert name* can play there too" Period

2. The "I will have to look at it, but we have a game on *insert day*, and we want to be focused on that" Period

3. The "We have money to spend, but we also have a big squad" Period

4. The "Look at what other teams are doing" Period

5. The "Waiting" Period

6. The "Wanting" Period

7. The "Super super quality" Period

8. The "He is a player I like" Period

9. The "I will see, but we have *insert name* to come back, and *insert name* can play there too (2)" Period

10. The "Get stuffed by Utd" Period

11. The "Panic" Period


Are there any other periods I have forgotten?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he will not rush into the transfer market to bolster his squad.

Fans were calling for Wenger to make a foray into the transfer market to bring in some new faces during Sunday's defeat to Manchester United.

Wenger is short of options in defence with Thomas Vermaelen and Johan Djourou both forced to play out of position at full-back against United with Bacary Sagna, Kieran Gibbs and Andre Santos all sidelined.

Wenger has had no fit recognised full-backs since before Christmas, but the Frenchman refuses to enter the market and is prepared to wait for his injured players to return to fitness.

Asked whether he agreed with the view that Arsenal must spend to improve, Wenger replied "I don't. Spending money is not the target. It never has been in life.

"We need our players back. We missed 10 players. When you see what we created in the second half, it's important for us to get the players back."
