So how is everyone feeling over transfer activity

[Özim]

imagine if the signings that some people are moaning about before they are even signed, do well. i mean what would happen? they would actually have to eat their words but knowing them, they'd moan about something else

Like Chamakh, Koscielny and Squillaci you mean........I don't believe in the tooth fairy anymore, sorry!

Years of experience tell us money is always a problem, Wenger is cheaper than Cheapy McCheap on discount day at the pound shop!

So past experience, no solid knowledge about what we may or may not be doing this summer.
Thought so.

agree wholehearted with squillaci but disagree with kos. thought he had a great first season.

getting rather annoyed.

everyone else bar chelsea seem to be signing players and showing their intent, whilst we as usual are sitting back and losing out deals to rivals.

pretty sure chelsea will sign players now they have appointed a manager so depression gets worse.

Who were we after and failed to get?

Well years of the same thing happening would allow you to hazard a pretty good guess. Trouble is with Wenger people say the same thing every season, wait till wait till the end of August, wait till Xmas, wait till the end of January, wait till the end of the season.....then it all starts again.

Nothing ever changes and nothing ever will, we're well schooled in the art of negotiating at Arsenal.

Fair enough, I thought he was rubbish and wish we'd never signed him.

We might actually have won the CC if we hadn't who knows. He made a number of high profile errors throughout the season, the odd good game doesn't make up for that. Not up to scratch for me.

would quite like us to go out and spend 50 million on a name, see him flop and then listen to zimm etc moan about how wenger should have watched him first, and how he wasted all that money etc etc

I think guess is the key word there.
I see lots of people on this thread expressing frustration but I've not seen anyone yet say who it is we were after and have failed to get or what the problem with wages or fee was (as Elche claims, but doesn't back up).

If y'all want to get frustrated about things when you've no idea what's going on then go nuts. I'll wait till the end of the transfer window and see what's happened then. Or at least until I've heard some far more solid statements about who we may be after.

Ronaldinho, Cech, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo etc etc if you believe the BS merchant at the helm
