Arsene's 'Plan'

We don't need a keeper. Watch césars performances in last couple of years he is no better than what we have. It would be a luxury signing. We don't need a centre Back if we get gustavo. Why do we need a right back?

The only real rush was for a striker. But the whole Suarez freakshow couldn't have been predicted. Bookies even stop taking bets on him joining us. The other singings would be squad depth signings which are not urgent at the mo

An attacking midfielder that can play wide or a winger that can play central would be useful, so we need 4 or 5 players to realistically challenge. Anyone think we will get what we need?

Yes we do need a keeper, Fabianski is shít and Szczesney is still unproven. If he plays like he did last season we are fúcked. And we don't need a CB? We only have 3. If Sagna plays CB then we need a right back. We have no strength in depth whatsoever.

Why didn't we move for him earlier in the Summer then, in case we did not sign him? Now we have no back up alternative.

We had loaned out Santos so therefore had one left back in the squad. Monreal was always going to be bought.

GK is definitely a problem position.
Szczesney is good but needs competition, he's way too comfortable considering he's not remotely reached his potential (he could well fail to improve in such a competition-less environment).
Fabianski is flawed and not fit for purpose, IMO he could excel at a lower level side in which the pressure to concentrate and perform is not so intense.

CB we are light. Verm has been struggling for over a year. Kos is solid and Mert is decent - need at least one more competent CB.

Midfield - Glaringly obvious gap in terms of a DM, serious lack of creativity too, with 90% of the creative burden on one guy (Cazorla).

Our wing forwards are ok but both are very hot or cold. Pod often disappears and Walcott is often a total liability.

ST - Obviously short here, no need to elaborate.

If we're happy with fighting for fourth then perhaps just 2 signings will suffice but if we want more, if we want to be title challengers we need at least 4 new players of the very highest quality.

Our scouts on the Squilacci and Santos deals were Helen Keller and Stevie Wonder.

Looks like the AST foresaw our summer:

Concern 4: Power and Accountability of the Manager

"Too many responsibilities and too much power is vested solely in the manager, reinforced by a lack of proper decision-making processes and too few independent board members have professional football experience to assist/support the manager"

so in your simple world the decision was made the deal was done and the player left all on the same day? My word what a cretin you are. The stupidest person on this entire forum.

Santos was always going you moron just because the deal completed after the deadline means jack shìt. ...just like whether or not you take another breath.

Odious little man

How much was offered for Lars Bender for the bid to be rejected?

"Of course, he still worships the sun."

There are plenty of far fetched alternatives, some of them are very, very popular.
