Not there yet.

Ospina, Debuchy, Chambers, Sanchez, (Campbell - like a new signing).

These are all very good signings.

And yet when I look at our squad I see no steel.

And that is why when we come up against United and Chelsea we will lose both games comfortably. Our midfield will get by-passed and Giroud won't make a dent. And so we are effectively playing a 34 game season with a 6 point deficit to those two sides.

We desperately need a class DM (much more than we need a CF) and these signings won't pull the wool over my eyes.

Arteta/Flamini are very good squad players but have no place in the first XI of a side gunning for the Premier league.

We are now only 2 players away from being a genuine contender (much closer then we have been for years). Our squad is looking pretty good but Wenger needs to get out there and get us Khedira or Schneiderlin.

£66m-£12m (Vela/Djourou/Eisfeld) = £54m.

I think we can afford another outlay of circa £20m on a DM. I hope Wenger does too.

Anyway, I'm off because I'm not a wum.

Your show pony namsy pamsy transfer policy that fails every season just frustrates me.

See you in a few weeks, hopefully when you've bought a new DM, CB and LB that can tackle outside of the champions league.

Gibbs' tackling won us top four the other year

Oh and one more thing....

£18m for Chambers would have been the £18m Everton would have needed for Lukaku. Seamus Coleman would have been better but never mind. You don't think like Wolves do you?

Why is it every time I click on an article on the Arsenal board, that Pundit fella is talking shít. What do you want from us?

Pundit,
You know too well how much of a meat-grinder the Championship is. None of that League One turnover nonsense. You will be operating at a very narrow band of fixed loss caps. Save your aggro for the people running your club.

Now that he's been down in the "mines" he has a massive chip on his shoulder. This creates a need to sound off against the bigger clubs and we're unlucky to be top of an alphabetical list. Funny thing is, he supports a club that lives beyond its means and is wumming the gooner board.

This article is bang on the money. Last season we got four thrashings, all because we had no steel in the middle of the park............and we still haven't. We need a Tiote type of player, in ther just to hold and keep a disciplined shape as Giberto used to
