Any little slip up up and until the time we sign a few players is inevitably going to be accompanied by heralds of doom and gloom, because it'll just be adding to the tension of the window and seen as a direct consequence of not strengthening. Any slip ups after we've signed a couple of players will invariably be because it will take some time for them to gel together

Looks decent, could have done without the blue. Hope there's no patch on the back.

They've made a new bid for Fabregas so I seriously doubt it.

I dont know what in the world this is or why, but it just made my stomach hurt! http://eaglesthatlooklikearsenewenger.tumblr.com/

20th July ffs. Havent even replaced the squad players that have left. For all the talk of a weak squad last season, here we are worse off with no signs of fixing it. Let alone the striking crisis. Fully expect a couple of last minute panic buys that where we'll pay thrice the amount a shite player's value.

Meh, who needs new signings anyway.

Cheers for the videos keep them coming!

Pardew out

Important? Colo's the most important one for me. Makes players around him look twice as good as they are and everything seems to fall apart when he's not there. So Im not sure about most important, but yeah he's definitely the most talented and dangerous player we've had for a long while.

Agreed, squad size was a problem last season and we have actually less numbers now. Okay so we arent in Europe this year but there's going to be serious problems again unless Tavernier and co are suddenly deemed ready for this level.

And when the window opened again we saw exactly how much of that money being spent?

As the Carroll sale did.

Its the new 'in thing' apparently that logic. Lets not qualify for Europe this year so the squad's in better shape for next time, lets have one of our players play shite so he doesnt get bought etc

Havent we had this discussion before? Its all too familiar mate, Im expecting a couple of signings but thats not really the point here. Point is smaller clubs seem far more agile and better planned than us.

Almost everyone passes us in terms of ambition, Swansea Southampton Norwich take your pick

Congratulations! Wish them all the best in life!

Replacement for Tiote

So after Bony to Swansea, Southampton sign Wanyama.

All of which again has to do with our top management. I just didnt get the idea of finishing outside of a European place only so we could challenge for the European place again next season. Had we strengthened the squad properly we would have done so again regardless of where we'd finished last time around.

Nah, not just that. Its not the transfers. There was a point I where I thought Ashley had finally gotten his act together, wasn't expecting trophies or anything but we seemed to have a plan even if it wasnt to everybody's liking. I'd take that over becoming the next Chelski anyday. We still seem to be only a circus though, so why not be a rich trophy winning circus instead

Its like the time when some people were of the view that we'd be better off not qualifying for Europe, so the squad would be fresh and ready next time around to challenge for........Europe

Despite despising the likes of City, Monaco, PSG etc and what they've done to the game, I'd be delighted if any Russian/Arab chose us as his new toy now. Before Ashley runs us into the ground again.

Do we have any realistic backup plans other than Bent? Its just bloody criminal we havent gotten in even one striker yet.
