Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Niall_Quinn]

Last season is the worst transfer window we've had. Reading that just reminded me of how we lost the title to Leicester City. Our main rivals were out of the picture for crying out loud.

Whatever Wenger does this season doesn't matter if we're being truthful. We're witnessing the end. He hasn't got anything left to offer.

He certainly has got something to offer. His resignation. But he won't.

I'm not even sure I care about fees anymore. He's expensive, too expensive, but everyone is now. Pogba for £100m, Sissoko for £30m potentially, Watford supposedly rejecting £25m for Deeney. The whole thing is mental.

I'm more concerned by the fact he's another attacking mid, the last position we need... Unless someone is off.

I heard Joe Allen is leaving.

£60m on Mane and this guy must be quite a bit of your budget gone though, on two players that should be good squad players, but for a team with the ambition of Liverpool, not really key game changers. What do you ideally need - a GK, CD and CM?

Mane gives us something we didn't really have tbf, remains to be seen how he'll play but he's different to what we already had. Again, hideously expensive but there we go. At least we'll have someone who can stretch a defence if when Sturridge gets injured. Hopefully we can make some money with Benteke which would wipe out the Wijnaldum fee- in fact off the top of my head we'd be pretty much even for the window, with the likes of Balotelli (pray to God), Markovic, Luis Alberto and indeed Allen to go.

As for the rest, we're probably OK in terms of GK (Karius) and CB (Matip + this Klavan bloke as back up, Sakho cleared and Lovren looking halfway competent). This Grujic is looking like a unit in midfield, and with Henderson, Can, Milner, potentially Lucas and the odd youngster to come in as necessary. If needs be even the likes of Lallana could slot in for a bit. Depends on how we set up I guess how important another CM would be; I'd personally like a proper, defensive mid in there. My worry is actually the full backs; Moreno can't defend, and if Flanagan does go out on loan we have barely any cover on either side bar youngsters. I know we've been linked with Amavi who looked not-terrible in his few games for Villa, but we dont't know if his leg works anymore which would be a worry.

Wijnaldum is a quality player....not a bad signing for the scouse at all. I don't even think the price is too much higher than he is worth.

The only discussion and analysis of actual transfers on an Arsenal forum is about Liverpool's activity.

Dick Law has the best job in football. He's redundant most of the time. Although the speedy negotiations for the Rob Holding transfer, they are evidence of how good Law really is.

[Marc Overmars]

Barca sign Andre Gomes for £40m.

Anyone we pick up if they need to make room?

[Ralpheroo72]

Our Central Midfielders may have to play wide, stubborn old mule.

Even Arseblog is starting to lose it after Gazidis latest interview citing Leicester's achievement last season as a reason not to spend. And he also said this;

“We’re making progress in what is a fiercely competitive world, against competitors that have the capability to spend far more money than we do,”

Playing the poverty card? Really?
