Haha who didn't? But I'm actually referring to the market as a whole.You must of struggled in the summer of 2013 pal
Apart from the fellaini window this has to be the most boring, we have bought a defender but we all know we need attacking options adding and we seem to be struggling on that front at the moment,let's hope it changes soon as we are off to the states in a couple weeks
No this one is particularly crap, it's clearly not a buyers market this year
Very true. I expected the overall transfer window spending record to be smashed this summer, it isn't looking that way just yet.
I still haven't got over the fact that I woke up hoping that we had signed Fellaini.
If it were April they would be having a joke.
Desperate times mate ! Still can't believe he is here. But to be fair , we were that crap at times last season when he was our best player !I still haven't got over the fact that I woke up hoping that we had signed Fellaini.
10 goals. Best in the world.
Yeah pretty much. Maybe you get a few moves and some big buys in June, but a lot comes in July and August. Most teams financial year ends June 30, so their budgets are set up accordingly and purchases are made to those budgets.
So do City.. Worryingly they just snap talent up whenever it's possible.
True, but if we offer him good money and promise him trophies he could choose us over those other teams. If he chooses us and forces a move Wenger can't keep him.
Incredibly slow today. Media have run out of people for us to link with.

It's the calm before the storm in a couple of days......!
That promise was a lot more substantial under Fergie. Unless he is incredibly impressed by the League and Europa Cup.
Also if he was to miraculously choose us over another club, he might not be able to force a move out of Wenger. Arsenal aren't desperate for the money and may as well just choose to hang onto him until his contract expires. From Wenger's perspective the fans would prefer that than to sell him to us.
Ask yourself why Mourinho wouldn't go for him. Its not money. Do we have someone like him but better? Something else?
They probably remember his loanspell at Roma 5 years ago - he did ok then. But of course 31 League goals at the age of 26 isn't that impressive as a striker. Still more prolific than Welbeck
48hrs? Maybe next Tuesday?
Milan hurting their good summer with that signing.
Where's the tweets today?! Slow day!!
He is highly rated and was mentioned as a potential replacement for Benjamin Mendy.
Ah, better hope for a good run-in then... Maybe teams are playing wait and see with these prices quoted. This thread is so slow rn, deprived of muppetry
Mighty Milan has fallen so, so low.
He was quite good for Roma afaik
They have had a good summer so far. Ricardo Rodriguez, Musacchio, Andre Silva and Kessie. Add their current players like Romagnoli, Bonaventura, Locatelli and Donarumma and in a few years you've got yourself a decent team.
On the verge of signing Calhanoglu as well. Borini is shite, but they're signing him as a squad player as they will also be playing in the Europa League, so it's not a big deal.
I stayed up.I still haven't got over the fact that I woke up hoping that we had signed Fellaini.
And cheered when it was announced.
Fair to say anyone who expected a good season after what happened this summer was delusional, including myself.
2013 summer was awful. All the talk of Kroos, Fabregas, Muller, Bale, Ronaldo none of which I had faith in happening and then got excited and was pleasantly surprised with Herrera as I'd kept an eye on him at Athletic Club only for Moyes to pull out and get Fellaini at the last minute.
Summers under LVG were usually pretty grim too (Shaw and Herrera already done before he started making "his" buys), all the faffing around and not pulling the trigger and leaving things late. Jose was swift last summer and I'm hoping it will be like that this summer as in get all the deals done in July.

Would be very odd of both Walker and Alves go to City
But that 4-1 win at Swansea on opening dayFair to say anyone who expected a good season after what happened this summer was delusional, including myself.
I was so confident after that.
I actually think we will see a resurgence from them over the next couple of years, they seem to be making decent initial moves with the new found money.....Borini is a strange one though

My worst expectations at this time was us finishing 3rd or 4th. Turned out to be overoptimism from me.
