Wenger emphatic in denying interest in Song and (perhaps reassuringly) Zigic. Less convincing in denying interest in Welbeck and Falcao

Well now we are guaranteed the 25 million nest-egg for the snore fest stage ,and most likely the 3-5 million 1 leg after party burn out, perhaps we will buy some players but just where and who I've no idea .
He wont buy a striker though,he flirted with the idea, before Giroud went down and couldn't bring himself to do it do it as he thinks Sonogoal will step up !
What he did buy was another lightweight winger midfielder type and pay over the odds for him when it wasn't what we needed .
We badly need defensive cover but Wenger has convinced himself that Callum can now fill in left right and center but Wenger will be shocked and disappointed when he cant clone him as our numbers dwindle by onset of Winter .
We have the most threadbare squad in the Premiership, not to mention the smallest and lightest and despite a raft of players that left we have 4 in and 4 out , in fact with Carl Jenkinson on loan we start with 2 fewer players if you count the 2 Goalkeepers that left .
Its amazing that the press have hyped us into challengers when all we have done is furiously tread water , again !
So with all that I expect Song to be signed at the last min as defensive cover fro Arteta .
Knowing Barca they probably owe us all but 50p of the transfer money anyway,did you know they had only paid of less than half of the cesc fee when they resold him !
1. If we are interested in buying carvalho then we better have it almost done by this afternoon - there is no way that they will let him join us if we get drawn in their champs league group
2. I see that ricardo alverez is expected to join the mackems on loan - some of you might remember that AFC made a big play for the argentinian two summers ago (I think from velez sarsfield ?) only for him to choose inter milan instead. He should have joined us where le cock would have converted him into a shit centre back/goalkeeper/full back or whatever
