Not getting a striker of game changing quality in the CL and top premiership matches is going to hinger Arsenal. Suarez isn't coming. If he does it would be open season on Liverpool's mgr and board and they do not want that. If he had 1 or 2 years left on the contract it would be a different story. Because he is a nutter, Suarez signed a long term contract last season!

I guess I can't get you to understand the highly specific nature of stats and their irrelevance when considered in the context of the role a player has and the difference in approach of the Arsenal and Spurs midfield. Holster the guns and we'll agree to see where the chips lie and the end of the season. If Arsenal don't add goals, they will struggle to hold 4th. Soldado puts them miles in front of Arsenal in the striking department.

tayto lover wrote: » I agree with that. When we lost RVP people wondered where our goals would come from. We actually scored more last season with the goals being spread around the team. Spurs might do the same and be more balanced than they were. They again see us as the main obstacle to getting CL football. I feel it is imperative that we strengthen and keep ahead of them but with a few extra class players we could aim even higher and challenge for the title. We are threading water if we don't add quality to the panel.

But I do feel the club may be turning a corner and a lot of the moaning recently haseen r as bring, hyperbole it's been frustration boiling over with very few valid or debatable points being made. As many of us have said judge the club in September we just need to have patience, if we do fail to deliver on the promises us as fans were delivered. Then I will be one the moaners again and calling for heads to roll but not until that window closes will I judge the club.
tayto lover wrote: » I believe that posters are only showing their frustration at the lack of movement. They all want the best for the club. I believe we are all actually fed up of the last game torment for fourth place and that surely is a reason for much of the negativity.
KINGVictor wrote: » Sorry I think you are being a bit condescending. While I think a few posters moan about the lack of transfer activity but to be honest it is August already and we have no idea if we will even sign any player at all. We were told in June that the club is in a position to make quality additions , since the transfer window opened, it has been a shambolic display by the club - from missing out on Higuain to misjudging Suarez's contract situation. It is unfair to label anyone who questions the lack of activity as a moaner; you seemingly have strong confidence that it will end well- others aren't so sure. It is clear that the club do not have any intention of challenging for the EPL or CL this year and are ok with just 4th place but with the way Spurs are going about their business, we might struggle to make the CL this season. While I agree it is too early to make judgements, supporters have a right to panic and question the club's motives. We get a lot of arguments that ManU have not signed either but the difference is that even with their current team, they have a very good chance of winning the EPL again- mainly because we sold our best player to them last season. I would have imagined that Arsenal will take advantage of the managerial change in all the top 3 to mount a serious challenge this year but it seems that is not in their agenda for now tbh..

This was the year we'd show we mean business but Wenger is once again our stumbling block to loyal to average player's and his old fashioned values of not wanting to spend big. We are too big a club to not be competing for the EPL and Champion's league.

Expressing disappointment at a kick of activity or questioning the club is if course not moaning. However at the moment we're collectively filling 10 pages a day - that's moaning. I've no idea how this will end for Arsenal and I'm not that optimistic really but I know exactly what to expect from this thread if there's no movement. 10 pages of exactly what went on today and exactly what went on yesterday. Of course we're all entitled to our opinions and they will differ but we've all expressed them at this stage. Can we just wait for something to happen before rolling out the same argument and counter again.
