Jesus, I thought we'd left the knee-jerkers at Arsenal-Mania.
I'm seriously surprised at the signings you guys were expecting for a spot where we already have Van Persie.
You've arrived in time to keep us all in line then?

It's precisely because he's going to be back-up for injury plagued van Persie that people are jumpy about us signing a relative unknown with zero PL or European experience.
He could be a revelation, he may be great, I haven't got a clue, neither do very many others on here as far as I can tell.
Particularly for a striker that could be seen as an indication that he may not quite set the place on fire?
I don't think it's knee jerking to be skeptical or slightly underwhelmed by this.
People are just happy we're making signings now, fair enough.
I think it's just slightly pathetic that this is what we're rushing to sign as the time winds down.
And I don't apologise, given the money we have at out disposal, for wishing that Wenger would spend it on a player maybe two who have proved themselves at the very highest level and could truly influence, in a consistent way, our chances of success this season.
