If that is the case ( and I certainly hope so) then at least it has been done early doors so we get the benefit of the player (whoever it my be) throughout Jan, rather than save a few quid on the deal in the last day of the transfer window.

It could, just could, be enough to keep us in this title race.
For me the addition of striker will seal the title, end of.
Think Man City and Chelsea may think different my friend.
Man City's form is patchy away from home and they don't look solid defensively. Chelsea aren't that good. Their strikers are shit and they're also leaky at the back. We've got every chance.

Wenger must have a right chuckle to himself at the reaction to his comments - when he rules out signing anyone we (the fans) become convinced that we have already signed somebody but when he says that he will be doing his best to sign players or is willing to sign a special player if one becomes available, then we get well pissed off and become convinced that the old c*nt is signing no-one :roll: Sometimes our reactions even confuse me :? :oops:

Our reactions are down to the sh*te doublespeak we've had to put up with for years

I didn't know Assou-Ekotto was a Gooner. No wonder he mocked Sp*rs:

Yeah, I just saw that too. Berbatov would be a typical Wenger move to save money. He's well past his best and we should try to buy in a striker for the long term.
Berbatov isn't a prolific goalscorer and imo is NOT the answer we need.

Wonga is so stubborn, he will gladly blow our best chance we will ever get of the title by signing no strikers at all. :roll:

I've already said many times that it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if There's Only One decided to splash all of his transfer budget on yet another midfielder despite his recent claims to the contrary. A Draxler or Mata type would be right up his street.

To be honest if he doesn't sign a striker I would rather he doesn't spend anything at all (with the exception of a decent alternative to Chesney in goal)
