The squad is currently thin as part of a transition period.

This transition period is too long for my taste

Stop being an idiot. Why would you want a transition period to go into a season and watch us potentially drop more points, when we had the opportunity to sign players? That's just stupid thinking.

'The squad is currently thin as part of a transition period.'

You can't gamble with a thin squad with injuries already, that's ludicrous.

No excuse, we had almost 3 months to bring in additional players. Why not secure Demba Ba long before deadline day. Mourinho only blocked that transfer after we got Ozil. Can't blame him.

The squad isn't even that thin, it's getting a bit exaggerated. Even with all our injuries we'll still have a quality team out today. When our players are back we'll have a great squad. The only positions we're missing are a striker and back up defender, not really a disaster and we have money to address is in jan.

Don't tell them that 8bit. They don't like a sensible comment.

We need a striker (desperately), a winger (Walcott is injury prone and inconsistent - like today) and Miquel should not have gone on loan.

If Girould gets injured we're left with Bendtner...
