Yeah course I do... but the transfer window is still open, despite what people say Arsene isn't a mug, he will sort things out. It is possible we are reading too much into things, we played poorly in our first three games last season btw.

maybe,maybe not.......i said this time last year the squad wasnt big enough ....no one listened......now it is severly weakened.....as things stand we dont have a prayer......wenger now needs quality and quantity.....yet he says he isnt close to buying anyone.....in a week we will know exactly where we stand i suppose.

We do... but we would be taking risks [this is assuming Senderos goes] If we keep Senderos - or replace him with another similar player and bring in another midfielder we'll be in great shape.

I'm beginning to lose patience with Gallas. Thats my main concern atm... we NEED to sort out the CBs that is what it will come down to.

people like you and your blind faith in wenger is quite amazing. the man has clearly hit a brickwall. the club is ill at board level and on the pitch.

No its called logic. If Wenger was bad at his job he'd be at Spurs or some other mid-table club. He isn't. For people who think we've stagnated I suggest they watch last seasons DVD and see just how good we were for 80% of the season. Improve on that by 1-2% and we have a great chance of winning the league.

now that would be inpressive since weve lost so many players since then....and some key men too.

Key players out [that I think will affect us] Flamini. We can deal with that. Now if Senderos goes then I'll agree...

I still think, assuming we bring one more in and no one out, that we are stronger overall than last season.

The board should find a suitable buyer. Not to a billionaire unless he/she plans to use his/her own money into the club. Everything, from paying off the stadium debt to investing in the team.

We are in serious trouble and the results will reflect that over the season unless Wenger buys some more players.
This is the weakest squad we have had under Wenger.

You're wrong, it's 92.5%

I'll reserve judgment for 7 days then...

We took 9 points in our first 3 games last season... let's hope it's 6/9 this time next week.

Get behind the team and Wenger is all i can say today. Two games in and people are saying some ridiculous stuff. Trust Wenger, he has never let us down.

look whatever(if it happens)we buy in the next week will mean that YET AGAIN we buy anything thats left after the big boys have done their shopping.
Its as clear as the Taxi on my driveway that the present board arent thinking of us fans.
They are most definately thinking of their pockets.
I have always doubted my last statement there,but i refuse to bury my head in the sand any longer.
Ive always stuck up for peter hill-wood and co,assuming that they would take our great club onto greater things,but sadly i realise the inevitable,and know in my heart that the less money they give out will mean more money for them when the sell the club.
Trust me,they will sell.

the fact is, is that last year we were so close to being champions, 1 or 2 more players could have really made the difference..

this year, we have weakened not only the squad but also the first X1.

a lot of fans (me included) are frustrated as to why, instead of moving forwards, we have moved backwards.

having paid £1250 at the start of the year, under the impression that a rise in prices would give us a little more money to improve the side and a real hope for the forthcoming year, to see a midfield such as that against Fulham with so little quality, feels as though you are being slightly ripped off!
