Apologies for quoting myself....but I make it that Arsene now has a little over a week if promises are to be met.....MK Gould wrote:"We want to improve our quality this summer. It is not necessarily a large number of players that we need to buy but I believe you don't win the title when you concede 40 goals. Leave the transfer business to me and when you come back in July for the Emirates Cup you will see".
Assuming that there must be a period of settling in before Wenger would allow someone to play for us, even in a friendly, then I'd say that we have no more than two weeks if the promise is to be kept. If Arsene is the deal maker then that gives him probably 3 or 4 days after returning from SA.....
So far, the leaky defence has been weakened still further by the loss of Gallas, Silvestre, Sol (possible?) and - although unused - Senderos. We've been rumoured to be interested in a keeper and one centre back. The club is either unbelievably good at keeping things quiet....or we're in big trouble come August!!
At the start of the World Cup I could understand the lack of "noise" as players generally speaking want to appear more interested in performing for their country than negotiating their next big deal. However, only 4 teams are left in the competition now and the chances that we are seriously in the running for any of those players is remote! So are we seriously saying that the lack of news/signings is due to Arsene's role on French TV or maybe we really aren't buying anyone else....?
ahhh.... Fuck it!
