Ok, I'll deactivate your account on September 2nd just in case you're ever tempted to come back out of hiding!

Only Suarez or Rooney can save you now... so for the rest of us, it's now a win win situation

WENGER on if he's happy with the strikers he's got…
"I think what is important is the strength of the squad. Today is one game. We want to play 55 games and we are maybe a bit thin squad-wise to go through a whole season".

One way or another, it does sound like we'll sign a striker. Big question is, will it be a first team regular or competition for Sanogo's place on the bench?

The inactivity is shockingly negligent

That result against City was the worst thing that could have happened for you. Now Wenger will say there is no need to sign players as they can beat the top teams.
Would have been better to be defeated today.

I'm sure he is happy withe strikers he's got. That's not the problem - the problem is the lack of a top quality DM, no coverage at CB or in goal.

looks like Flappy will be our 2nd goalie, he was a bit poo in the Emirates Cup
so was Szczezza for that Dzeko header.
Guessing we'll buy a utility defensive player, a creative mid (maybe a left winger) and a striker

I won't believe it until 1989 says it's true
