At one stage yesterday after kos had gone off Debuchy was down injured. As our back up rb was covering at cb we would probably have had to use Flamini, our only fit dm, at rb.
Did it at no time occur to our manager that this may be a problem and signing a player or two would solve this?!! :cussing:

At least we got players in early this window and in defence of Wenger I think that he has bought well this summer.
Ozil was a last minute panic buy and he has turned out to be a turkey.

I therefore have no issue with him not buying now, it's just that we should have bought a striker earlier this summer regardless of whether Giroud was injured or not

Wenger is a fucking turkey himself. Playing Özil out of position...

In other news, we apparently checked on Falcao who turned out to be too expensive...

the thing is weve needed a striker since judas was sold,the January transfer window cost us heavily in not buying one,how the hell Wenger can then miss the next transfer window too is just ridiculous,everybody has managed to buy a striker/strikers except us,Wenger is a dithering idiot who will eventually cost us our 4th place,probably this season,Wenger out!!!

If the rumour about Rome is true there is absolutely no defence.

Will you still feel this way once half our team are in the ICU after we have our inevitable injury crisis?

We HAVE bought well this summer but the squad deficiencies have still been there since RVP left.
That is why I have been ultra critical of Wenger since then.

A few weeks ago I was accused of being too negative on here - I have been consistent all summer on here unlike some others

So to make a good window is to make the team stronger we may have brought some good players but are we much better than last year ? No .I would say we have the weakest squad wise in the top five by far . All this money pinching is going to bite us in the arse big time .

Stop with the squad deficiencies ffs - we have no quality striker and no DM so we shouldn't be buying to pad the squad but to actual makes us proper challengers :roll:

From one bench to another. He will get zero playing time at Madrid. Don't understand this at all.
