We got bent over a barrell and taken raw; no doubt about that.
No point sitting there and moping though, time to kick things into gear. We know that we targeted Gervinho, Alvarez (and before anybody says he was an unknown, it looks like he is going straight into Inters first team so the quality is there) and Chamberlain at the start of the window; we got two and one escaped us so we have been proactive in looking at attacking talent. The Mata bid was real as confirmed by his dad, so we'll see what happens there. Arsenal fans should never be afraid that Wenger will not replace attacking talent.
However, if Scott Dann is our only defensive signing, I'm going to break something.
