The new Premier League season is due to kick-off on Friday 9th August and with less than a month to go, clubs are still in the market to recruit and off-load players in preparation for the upcoming campaign.

The transfer market can be a cause of great stress amongst fans, and few clubs have a following quite as passionate and as vocal as the Gunners', who've come together to write an open letter to the Kroenkes in a bid to force change in North London.

Arsenal have gone stale in recent years, now enduring their third season in a row outside the top four and watching the club respond to these on-field problems by announcing sub-par off-field solutions. A reported transfer budget of £40m hasn't gone down well with fans, but what's more frustrating is perhaps the fact that not a dime has been spent so far in this window on players expected to have an immediate impact on the first-team.

Unai Emery addressed the transfer situation with the media though, calling for patience among fans and stating: "We are being very, very demanding and we are first speaking about the possibility to sign very big, very expensive players and the first player in our list is our first target."

You'd think the words coming from the head-coach will have raised expectation and excitement for the Gunners' faithful, but it seems patience is so warn down that nothing but a concrete signing will give fans hope going into the new season.
