Transfer News: Is That The Time?

I will apologise for any typos my keyboard is knackered and add that to dyslexia its going to be a nightmare!

Today marks a third of the transfer window left for the Arsenal negotiators to prove their worth. Would David Dein have got us Arshavin for £10m in a day? I am worried about the lack of movement with any other transfers. Wenger says we are looking at other players, I just want some one to get excited about and show our intentions.

With regards to the Hull match I was quietly impressed in places. Diaby put in a couple of strong tackles and seemed more up for it than normal. Clichy was given a lot of stick but I thought attackingly he was pretty strong. There is talk of him being dropped. If you are one of the morons spouting this rubbish I ask you who will fill in for him? Silvestre and Gallas are the only options and they are injured! I still regret Armand Traore going out on loan because he would give us some extra width and backup which we need this season, injuries or not.

With regards to the transfers we have no new stories other than the Hungarian 17 year old Defender Mate Toth. Obviously this boy is going to be the beans if we do sign him but will he push for a first team place? Probably not.

Other than him its all Arshavin and the other usual suspects, the whole of the Fulham squad and goalkeepers. Poor Almunia.

There should be one more option for the Out the Door poll. 'None'

This poll is disgusting!!

Almunia is still not a good open play goalie. While the defense, more notably Clichy, was responsible for conceding the goal, a better keeper would have been out of his box either punching or catching that ball. It was still inside the 6 yard box and if Almunia were more confident and assertive he could have bailed out the defense and kept a clean sheet. I'm not saying he is at fault for the goal or wrong in his actions but a world class keeper will go beyond the call of duty and can bail out defensive errors.

Bring in Garay and Miguel Veloso
