Ashburton Grove Gooners

for his next trick....buy no one

Seems like at this point, you're right.

Well, we seem to be doing OK (Fulham blip excluded), so we have January to restock if we need to. We really should restock in Jan. though...could've definately helped us having a little more depth in the latter half of last season.

January deffo...I can just imagine what the officials will be like tomorrow I think Wenger thinks Eboue is all we need...and no i'm not slating Eboue, he's my big tip for the season

one one-celled inhabitants of the officials will be in over-drive. poor deluded wankers

CLOSED

I wonder if we have another Diarra situation...

Unless something amazing happens it looks like Denilson, Song, Diaby and Cesc are the main four. Djourou, Eboue and Bischoff as maybes. Hmm...

its just a game at the end of the day

God help us.

hahahahah! i fecking knew it ffs. two or three injuries and we've fucked it up. smashing

We are short of options in the middle, we will need to ride our luck.

But no more than United will have to with CBs, or Chelsea with strikers [just two recognised!] or Liverpool with, well take a pick.

i admire your optimism, god knows i got enuf of it too, but look at our bench and their benches. no don't, looking at benches is no fun. AARRRGHHHH

It's going to be a VERY long four months.

When everyone is fit this is our bench...

Fabianski, Djourou, Silvestre, Song, Eduardo, Eboue, Bendtner [which would leave Vela, Denilson and a few others out too]

Thats pretty good imo. No big names in there, but some quality players.

Now I wanted someone else in, but if Arsene could have got someone good then he would have. I think Song would do well, Denilson is a decent under-study and obviously Cesc is world class. What it comes down to is Diaby... and how long he can stay fit for, because if he plays as much as Flamini did last season then we could see him show just how good he is - he has more potential than Flamini did, its just whether he can deliver it. Wenger rates him very highly... now I suppose Arsene's thinking is if lets say Cesc/Diaby are out then he could go for a Rosicky/Song partnership in the middle [obv not for an extended run] or who knows if Eboue keeps his good form up, he could do well as back-up. Bischoff we know nothing about and Ramsey is too young for me. It is a concern, and we are taking a risk... but like I said above every squad has weaknesses this season... it will come down to how badly they are exposed.

Exclusive reaction to the closure of the transfer window:

Bit off to be honest.

I'm as positive as you can get, apart from f3955 obv , but i was really hoping for someone...I guarantee a handful of injuries by January and then we will need someone. Whether we get them I don't know though
