The end then, sad.
It's all over SSN now.
From Wenger's Q&A with John Cross on July 12th
Q: How important is it you emerge from the window with a stronger and bigger squad?
Arsene Wenger: I believe for us it is important that the message we give out - for example you see about Fabregas leaving, Nasri leaving - if you give that message out you cannot pretend you are a big club.
Because a big club first of all holds onto its big players and gives a message out to all the other big clubs that they just cannot come in and take away from you.
We worked very hard with these players for years to develop them and now it's a time for us to keep them together.
And it's not just about the window because before it closes you have huge games like Man United, Liverpool, Newcastle and the two Champions League games.
For us it is important that the team settles psychologically as quickly as possible because we have a tough start.
We've gone from that to him announcing yesterday, the first day of the season that we are in "no man's land" as regards both players and now today the official announcement about Cesc.
