The transfer dealings at the Emirates
The transfer window always reminds me of Christmas. Full of expectation, excitement and then suddenly it becomes something an anti-climax once it is over. Some are happy with their presents, while others are left seething at the lack of effort that was put in. City fans are undoubtedly happy with their lot this summer, although others are bound to be disappointed.
It has been a relatively quiet transfer window as clubs remain cautious with their transfer spending, given the current climate. Chairman may have had little option but to be prudent, but it doesn’t stop supporters feeling slightly disappointed that a few more gambles haven’t taken place. Surprisingly a lot of managers have actually been sympathetic towards the situation, highlighting the curse of high wages that has made transfer dealings all the more difficult, rather than bemoaning the lack of backing from their club chairman. While others have simply made the best out of the stagnant transfer market, negotiated well and brought in some real bargains.
So how has Arsenal’s transfer window been and have you been happy, or disappointed, by the progress that has been made? Has Arsene Wenger done enough to ensure that Arsenal will be challenging for honours this season?

Like most Arsenal supporters I believe that with two new goal keepers (because Almunia would not have been happy as Number 2) we could have won a trophy this season. Sadly, I now believe we will win nothing. I dont even think we will do as well as last year. This could also be the year we fail to finish in the top 4. Dont forget Fabianski will be in the starting 11 for two competitions so you can write both of them off. If Almunia is injured for either a Premier League or Champions League fixture, Fabianski starting will mean the opposition will have a goal start. This will be the season where the Board will be looking at a lot of empty seats in quite a few fixtures.
