SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I think this team could challenge for the title:

Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Arteta, Ramsey, Diaby ( :lol: ), Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho (?), Podolski and Giroud will be our backup.

While the signing of a young French player on a free is not surprising I am surprised that the club is so lacking in PR savvy they didn't come out with a big name first. The clock is ticking Wenger - we need minimum 2 big names or you will have proven yourself incapable of attracting talent.
PS Schwarzer would make for an excellent backup keeper.

Leverkusen - a financial dwarf in global football - are able to knock back 19million for an accomplished but not necessarily world beating talent from a non-rival.

We on the other hand, the club with we are told the 4th highest revenues in world football- are alledgedly financially incapable of turning down a not dissimilar offer for the best striker in the world TO OUR DIRECT RIVALS. The devil is in the details, sure, RVP contract was running down, but selling to Utd at that price was an utter joke. Others would have come in for him for sure.

With our financial resources we should be bartling in the quarters, semis and final of the champions league almost every year. And yet the club acts like its a wondrous achievement just to qualify.
