Why do you put yourselves through this every transfer window. You know exactly it is going to play out stop deluding yourselves. :twisted:

That's what I'm hoping Chippy. If it plays out like the last 2 summers we've still got a big money signing coming, like Sanchez last summer and Ozil the summer before.

Still a month to go and I'm expecting it to got to the last few days of the transfer window. It's the Arsenal way :cussing:

Our 'big' signing is that £11 mil Clueless paid for a goalie.

That's his record spend for that area, which is his mind is another record notched up for yet another transfer window.

Loath as I am to defend Wonger; I’m not sure what’s wrong with that?

We needed a ‘keeper and Cech is not out of place alongside De Gea, Courtois and Lloris. Granted, it’s a lot to pay for an ageing (prime) ‘keeper, but it’s not my money so carry on I say.

You kinda missed the gist of my post.

Oh well, carry on...

Joey Barton, Youan Gourcuff and Dani Osvaldo all available on a free. AW is on the case.

That's any ideas of a bid for Dzeko out of the picture.

I wonder if we draw another blank on Sunday will it persuade old know it all to dip into the striker market

Now now Steven :wink: , you've missed out the virtual Messi; surely you've got room for him too?
Sorry mate - you see that's why I haven't worked a virtual day in football and why M.Imposteur has worked a virtual 30 years in football. I forgot the virtual Suarez too :oops:

We're done making any signings. We only got Cech because he wanted to stay in London so we lucked out. AW is so stubborn and wants to be proven right that "his players" can win titles so he will refuse to sign players when its 100% obvious what we need.
