HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING THE SUMMER GOONERS.

HEY GOONERS, HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING THE SUMMER.

The summer transfer window was officially opened on 1st July and will close on the 31st of August, when you look at that period you may say that we still have time but that might not be the case.
We need quality players just like any other big ambitious club but the more we delay the more we lose out on them, to talk about a few, there is Jovetic who we were heavily linked with but now Man City has already done the deal and he will be rallying against us, Higuain is on the verge of a move to Napoli, after the sell of Cavanni to PSG they have a vacancy to fill and the money to help them so anything can happen. The point is the more we delay the more we lose out.

To some gooners its hard to fathom why the delay but to some its not, reports have always claimed that we have £70m to spend on the strengthening of the squad which we haven't done up to now, the club CEO Ivan Garzidis also said we can compete with the big clubs now money-wise but it has all remained just mere talk. To those who know the frugality and haggling of the club its not a surprise that we only have; Yaya Sanogo, Daniel Crowley, Julio Pleguezuelo and Jamaal Raage who we all nearly got for free because we paid just small compensations. Of the four, only Sanogo will be in the first team without an immediate impact on the title charge others will go to the U-21s.
With the oligarch's invading the game it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to claim silverware like we did nearly a decade ago, Abramovich started it at Chelsea now it has spread to Man City, PSG and Monaco, it is all about money now that's why Man City and PSG are Champions, Chelsea won the UCL and Monaco may also do it soon.

Arsenal's no show in transfer business is frustrating most especially if you see our rivals like Chelsea and City strengthening despite finishing ahead of us last season. That frustration led to some gooners losing faith in Arsene and the Board then called on Usmanov to save the situation but up to now we are still in the same situation and only the board knows when it will end.

We have managed to reduce on the squad by selling some fringe players, like Mannone to Sunderland and some have gone for free like Santos to Flamingo and others loaned out like Coquelin and Djuorou to German clubs, that's a good gesture if they are to be replaced with quality players. A host of U-21s where also released by the club.
We need 'that' signing(s) to increase the title-winning morale in the team but whether it will be made its down to Arsene and the board.

In conclusion, we all hope the club shall sign atleast two quality players but do not hold your breath, its Arsene and Ivan running things and if you do not know them, they do things their own way you may wait and wait in vain but hope they will surprise us and do something special this time........
Hold you breath at you own risk!!!
