Even without Bale Spurs are really starting to scare me. They have bought some terrific players and for the right fees. There squad is better than ours IMO.

like QPR last season...fantastic players that we had also been linked with. Remy, Samba, etc...I still think we are stronger except in goal we need a world class keeper, just need quality to fill in when the injuries hit. The Ox, Arteta, Podolski, TV5, Diaby that's the subs bench stripped down. Micah Richards would be ace replacement for when Sagna gets injured cos it will happen sooner rather than later.

This may well be the year they surpass us but they won't challenge, not even nearly.

They don't have any players near the talent of the likes of van Persie, Rooney, Aguero, Silva, Yaya Toure and they'd kill for a Mata, Hazard, Oscar etc. They have more depth now but the likes of Andros Townsend still managed to get a game and their defence is still very average.

The signings they are making just reminds me of the summer of 1988, they signed Gascoigne and Paul Stewart at the time two great English talents for combined £8m, we signed Lee Dixon and Steve Bould for a combined £750,000. What happened next? I'm not saying we are gonna win the league but we are still better than them.

The difference being at the time we had a manager who knew how to drill defenders... and now we don't!

Despite the fact I've wanted Wenger out since 2009, when he persisted with Denilson and Almunia nearly causing an average Aston Villa side coming 4th, I am still utterly amazed at this summer.

For a while I thought maybe we would get Suarez and it was true the misery was coming to an end but no it never does at this club.

I found football can be a great distraction for all of lifes problems, but these days its just another of the problems. I really miss having a team I love and getting behind them 100%, being distraught when we lose and elated when we win. These days it doesnt happen and I put that down to mainly Arsene Wenger.

For a club with 20 football team staff listed that work 24/7 I really have to question their productivity levels. If they were working for me in my business they woudlnt be working for me in my business.

I can only assume there are some big announcements coming but, even if it happens, he'd not want to be smug as the season is off and running and whoever it is will need another 4-6 weeks to get tuned up.

If nothing happens then heads have to roll - no question!

I think the staff dealing with transfers have probably been commanded by a directive from on high, to buy late in the window to save wages, and to see if Champions League group stage money is available for purchases.

Don't you know, life gets tedious enough
Without this extra grudge to bare
Your, so slow, shift your ideas, make your mind up
In a jiffy, let' s be fair
We'll be taking off tonight,
Turn off your eyes and shut the light,
You're the most, you're so unreal,
We'd all be dead without your spiel!

How many players have we signed so far this morning ?

[storrmin571]

[DB10GOONER]

WE DON'T NEED ANY SIGNINGS!! WE HAVE MENTAL STRENGTH!! WE HAVE INTERNAL SOLUTIONS!! WE HAVE THE BEST YOUTH SET UP IN THE WORLD!! WE CAN WIN THE PL WITH THIS TEAM AS IT IS!!

Despite my cynicism towards Wenger's transfer policy I still find it astonishing that there are less than 5 days remaining and despite taking a dicking at home to last year's relegation candidates we have still not spent a single penny. While marquee signings were never likely to be in order I thought Wenger would have signed a couple of £6-12m Francophones.
