Reinforcements

So you've been waiting all Summer to find some top quality reinforcements into the club. But, it's not easy for Wenger, and maybe there is too much pressure on him to deliver players to the club that the fans want, World Class players. They aren't easy to find when you just scraped into 4th. Maybe your demanding too much?

Because when you finish in a position like 4th, CL quality players, but WC players are very difficult to find when you've only just got into the CL. They only really come about when they want to leave or they are available. There are few and far between that come available normally, but I think you've missed your chance this season.

Higuain, Benzema and Suarez are all World Class forwards that have become available this Summer, but you have failed so far in 2 players to bring them in, Higuain and Suarez. But now that Suarez isn't available, Benzema will be difficult as well because Madrid don't really have a replacement.

But Wenger must feel some pressure knowing that you demand to bring in the top quality/world class players so you can compete more and more. So it then feels like 'failure' to you (the fans) is you do not deliver any world class players, but they aren't easy to find.

But then again, you've had your chances to sign them, but were never quick enough and you've missed out and so has Wenger. But what makes it worse is, you've only signed 2 players on a free and haven't actually spent any of your money (which is a reported £90M transfer budget) but you've just added to your wage budget with 2 'squad' players (so to speak) when you do really need to be spending money on good players that will improve your side, not spending nothing on 2 squad players. So I can feel your frustration really.

But just accept what comes your way this Summer even if it is what you already have. Wenger obviously has faith in them players. But I can understand your frustration for not signing any good players to improve your side this Summer.

"They aren't easy to find when you just scraped into 4th. Maybe your demanding too much?"

Nonsense.
We're not asking for the world's best players, we want players who can improve the current team and squad, there have been plenty sold this window and plenty left available.

World class is a nonsense phrase that means nothing.
We need good players, there are loads of them around.

"But Wenger must feel some pressure knowing that you demand to bring in the top quality/world class players so you can compete more and more. So it then feels like 'failure' to you (the fans) is you do not deliver any world class players, but they aren't easy to find."

So he should. He's the highest paid manager in the world and the last 3 summers when we've had money have been an abject failiure and the team has been trending downwards for about 5 seasons.
There are no excuses for not improving the squad, not one.

"But just accept what comes your way this Summer even if it is what you already have. Wenger obviously has faith in them players. But I can understand your frustration for not signing any good players to improve your side this Summer."

We'll have little choice but unless 3 players who can improve the first XI arrive people will be furious and rightly so.
He can have all the faith he wants, he's wrong, this squad as it stands won't finish 4th it's as simple as that.
This summer has been another tremendous cockup and most of the blame lies at the feet of Wenger.

Every other club much "smaller" than Arsenal have no problem recruiting quality, this summer Norwich, Southampton, West Ham, Spurs, Fulham and Liverpool have all bought alot of good players why is it that Arsenal struggle soo much.

And I mention this squad not being able to finish 4th because that is the absolute base minimum.
With the resources at our disposal and a proper plan in the window we should have built a squad capable of a title challenge.

Arsenal are becoming known as a laughing stock of a club. Why on Earth would players want to come to us when they know everyone is laughing at us and whilst other teams slowly improve we are slowly declining.

No one would want to get on a sinking ship.

Players how would have improved us who didn't go to world class clubs

Gustavo
Wanyama
Higuian
Capoue
Lamela

Are you telling me we could afford any of these guys?

With our supposed budget we could easily have got at least 4 of these guys. Mu picks would have been - Gustavo, Higuain, Lamela, Capoue. That's around 80mil just there.

We are a joke club.

I am dissapointed Chelsea didnt try to get Wanyama what will happen is that he will do well next year and be sold to a top PL club for over £25m

what about Giaccherini under £9m.

I'm saying they're not always easy to find especially when you've finished 4th. I think Arsenal have had plenty of chances to sign some World Class players this Summer (Higuain, Benzema, Suarez) but they've failed to sign at least one.

Arsenal almost seem to try to sign the players where there is no competition so it's just them available to sign them. They need to sign the best players from competition, that's the only way to get stronger.

Nonsense.
We're not asking for the world's best players, we want players who can improve the current team and squad, there have been plenty sold this window and plenty left available.

I have spoke to a lot of Arsenal fans this Summer saying they need to improve their Forward line with a World Class Striker. Although maybe not needed. Just a top quality Winger for me.
