A lot has happened since Arsenal last won a trophy. I do however get the feeling that they might win the League Cup this year.

Premier League will definitely be there main focus, they don't have time to put effort into otehr competitions.

Spurs are signing players and splashing the cash, could get 80 million for Bale. Liverpool are even signing players, and offering 20 million for some.

United are ahead of them, and us and City are very far ahead of them.

Arsenal haven't signed anyone except a 19 year old french striker.

Let's hope it stays that way. I'd love to see them come 5th.

To be honest, one possible reason why Arsenal have been so quiet in recent transfer markets, including this one, is because they're still paying back a loan that they took out for when they built the Emirates Stadium 7 years ago.

Either that, or Arsene Wenger is a tight French OAP who loves kids.

I agree with Ollie, I hope Arsenal come 5th so that their fans can realise what an atrocious club they are. Most of their fans would actually WANT that to happen to their club so that Wenger can realise why buying players to replace their outgoing is essential for them.

.... not that I would want that to happen of course!

I think they've paid off all there loan debts.

They've made a lot of money over the past seasons, and the fans are not satisfied as Wenger is not signing players. However he did bid 40 million for Suarez, so he is willing to spend over 15 million for once. Arsenal really do need to strengthen there squad if they want to be in top 4 next season, they need a right back and left back for starters.

Gotta say, you're right there!

Sagna is just too much of a liability for them... Gibbs is a good left back, but just isn't world class enough... neither is Monreal in all fairness, but it's the type of player that Wenger ends up getting... players who sound good, but in reality, it's only the bare minimum of what he's willing to go for in the market.

Wenger has no ruthlessness at all, and that's why Arsenal fans are pissed off!

Aye, but it's not there ability what's the problem, they are so injury prone it's incredible, Gibbs just can't have a full season, Sagna has been sidelined for 6 months 3 times in the past 3 seasons, that's just unbelievable.

With Spurs getting Soldado aswell, Arsenal fans must really be shitting themselves, Spurs in my opinion have a better side than Arsenal do at the moment.

I'm seriously surprised that Wenger has yet to add a top-class player during this transfer window.

As for Spurs, it'll be very interesting to see who AvB brings in to fill the void left by Bale.

That will be awesome.

I'm enjoying not seeing Loserpool in the top 4, and to add Arsenal to that list will be heaven. :blue scalf:
