Now that the chavs have finally appointed a new manager my guess is that they wont be idle in the transfer market for much longer

The thing about us all worrying about a lack of transfers so early in the summer is because this is path we have been down in every transfer window for the past 4 seasons at least. At a different club with a different manager the fans would be calmer and more relaxed but cos we know that neither wenger nor the board like spending money at any point.
Again, in my opinion, for a team needing no small amount of surgery (as gazidas also suggested to ast) it was/is vital that we get moving early to ward off any competition from our rivals

Looks like Villas-Boas will bring in players from Porto. My guess is that he will bring in Falcao, Moutinho and Rolando.

Ever occur to you that the club might not actually be looking to sign those players depiste what the tabloids/people forums say?
Ever occur to you that we need to strengten our team and should try and sign better players than we have as quickly as possible before other clubs get in there?

What's that got to do with it? Your original post was bemoaning us not signing Cahill and Samba despite being linked with them "since the end of the season" as you put it. My point is how do you even know if those are the players that Wenger wants to sign? For all we know it could all be tabloid speculation and that we were never in for them so it would be a bit stupid expecting those transfers to come through if we weren't even in for them in the first place...

June 31st???

Calm down. I'd imagine players on holiday might be part of the problem. The only 2 big transfers were about to go to the U-21.
Looks like he's lining up replacements for those who are going to leave. 2 centre backs, and a winger.

Fair point. I don't know this. I wasn't really clear in the initial post but I was using those 2 as this years example even though I don't know for a fact that we are "chasing" them. What I was alludeing to was the fact that our signings seem (in my eyes) signed after a long drawn out process. Now, perhaps this is because I don't watch the others as closely but The Arsenal seem (again, in my opinion) to take longer to sign a player that other clubs, take the Arshavin deal for example.

Also for European teams the window hasn't opened.

We could be in for European players.
We only knew about Gervinho as the agent (and maybe Lille) opened their big mouths.

Also deals maybe start to be done (or have) for our lesser players.

Time will tell.

Most likely.

I'm just hoping...no praying with everyone telling him what to do, from Brady to Theo and even Nasri surely he's got to wake up!?!

Don't worry, we simply need to find buyers for Almunia, Flappy, Denilson, Eboue, Bentdner, Vela, Squillaci and Mannone to finance any incoming deals.

Things will start to happen after July 1st.

Hopefully, Bendtner will go first and then an steady flow in and out.

This is a very boring summer of signings so far!

The only fun was watching Liverpool see how average Phil jones is, after they'd paid top-dollar!

These past 4 seasons I have been on tenderhooks during the transfer windows waiting and waiting for wenger to sign some decent players and the only one he has brought in who I am happy for us to keep is TV5 - the rest!?

They can all go fuckoff asap

this total silence is really depressing
