If we're only going to sign one more, and Dempsey's our last remaining signing of the transfer window, you'd be happy Captain?

Yeah. It is what it is, no point getting upset about it.

On another note, the only signing that has made me genuinely happy this window was Chamberlain.

Would Dempsey be better than Rosicky as a squad player? If so, why not.

But we still need to sign a top attacking talent on top of that.

Dempsey is twice the player Rosicky is.

I have seen Dempsey many times, I know a Fulham fan at work and he'd say the same. Good player. Arsenal quality? Maybe as a squad player but that's it.

Anyone saying he's 'brilliant' or 'fantastic' is using Wenger's definition of those words.

I agree, Dempseys not good enough.

😆 I was about to add that zero times two is still zero, but I was too lazy to edit the post.

I think he'd be a good squad option. As a bonafide starter, he's not top 6 quality

A bit concerned we're going on a spurs-esque spending spree here ie. quantity over quality

Exactly.
Dempsey would be a sideways signing.

i'd be happy with the first Yank in the squad (Karbaissiyoon aside)

IBL

This is all

Quite difficult to do kick ups in those trainers...

that is exactly what a santos, mertesacker, gervinho, park, dempsey transfer window would be. i'm honestly baffled that you all don't see it that way. those are all basically uefa cup level players, and we just lost the most potent CM in the world.

this is a horrible transfer window, unless you've already resigned yourself to our status as the 4th or 5th best team in england.

I think everyone secretly has a hope that tomorrow will bring that one special player, Kami.

Captain

Two or bust, preferably three.

We just lost 8-2 and we've 1 point on the board after 3 games. I just want to see the squad put into a guaranteed top 4 position again. Yeah I'm definitely hoping we get a wow signing tomorrow but even if that happens and it completely blows us all away we're still not getting close to challenging this season. I want the squad sorted in every position so that we have the foundations set to build a new title winning side on.

another transitional season, yay! i guess it would've been too much to ask that the club had a plan in place for the inevitable fabregas departure, so we could start a new era without wasting yet another season.

One actual world class/future world class signing would make this an acceptable window to me. If the magical midfielder is Dempsey or Benyoun, Wenger and the board should be banned from football.

They should.
