No player is going to want to come and be 2nd or 4th choice. 5 centre backs is enough especially with Song if necessary Matuidi would be great for when Song plays in the ACN, but he is not absolutely necessary Chamakh I think is the most important. We miss Adebayor in truth, so it would be great if we could get him, he's got more skill and would work harder than Adebayor did last season. No need for a CB

Andy Canon, Adebayor was replaced, by Arshavin (who arrived first). With Eduardo back now too, and Vela older, we don't need a striker. But yes, the drop in quality from Gallas/Vermaelen/Song to their backups is a little stark. Grantski, yes 5pm GMT, but confirmation of transfers may go on for an hour or two afterwards.

I will advise we get at least two signings and focus on winning trophies. It is becoming a norm that every season key players depart Arsenal due to that missing link that isn't replaced. Teams that do well aren't lucky but prepared. We play good football, no doubt about that but we need to prove something doing that. Wenger is a fantastic manager but can be heady sometimes. His intentions are good but we need to prove our supremacy least we lose credibility due to lack of silverware. I'm hopeful we will get a good sign on before the end of the day. Gunners for life!

Chamack - £8 million - not excessively expensive? Matuidi - possibly £8 million, if someone is good then they are worth it (Please see Arshavin!) Centre back is NEEDED! We need cover for the excellent Vermaelen and Gallas WHEN they get injured. Goalkeeper....I like Almunia and respect him but he is not really world class is he? Without signing anyone, when the injuries come and we have to rely on Sylvestre and Senderos (God forbin) we will rue the day we did not buy a good backup defender. What about when Song leaves to go to the ACON? Who will take his place there? Arsene did promise us a DM... Adebayor left and has not been replaced, our squad is now even smaller than last year! I am worried as City, spuds and others are strengthening and we are not. IF all things fall apart, who will take the blame? Arsene or the board? We know that if Arsene spends he will buy brilliant players and the league is there for us to win! Without the players we may turn against him, just because the board wants the money. We cannot carry on like this! Without sounding pesimistic, we need more players as our players are incredibly injury prone!
