Confirmed.

Can't believe we've left it this late and now can't buy anyone proper. Why THE FUCK haven't we worked this hard earlier in the summer? Disgusting.

Show's that the 'we work really hard' stuff from Wenger is total bullshit. When you make a real attempt to try and sign players people hear about it.

Benayoun is a shit injury crock.

So we're definitely going to sign him.

If we sign Benayoun we better sign someone else too.

By whom? I think it'll be a decent addition but I still want that wow player

Sky.
Think Arteta is a far better option than Benayoun.
And yes, still need the wow player.

If it's possible, we'll get both.

May as well get your Benayoun shirt printed right now.

I don't really see Benayoun and Arteta as the same kind of player, so it being either or makes no sense to me. Bu then again, if reports are to be believed we've been trying at everything from dm's and deep lying playmakers via ball playing central midfielders and attacking creative dribblers to outright wingers.

WTF is going on!?!

Yossi. He doesn´t really make you go WOW does he? More like things that make you go hmm.

Matt Law claims the Arteta deal is currently "very much off". Meanwhile it's reported that Yossi signs a 1 year deal with us.

Someone kill me now.

Madness.
Sheer craziness.
Chaos.

And the Arteta deal is not off.
They're still in negotiations because we don't want to part with £10m for him.

Benayoun looks like being a loan deal.

so wenger's plan on replacing cesc and nasri is to buy Ju and a Jew 😆

WE seem to have been after Benayoun for a few days and Arteta just today so I'd say Wenger always wanted Benayoun plus a CM.

I fucking hope so anyway. 😐

Arterta deal off according to Sky, who say 'all our energy' is being directed toward signing Benayoun. MY FUCKING WORD.

Why the heck are we going for shits like this? I'm actually furious here. Arteta and Benayoun? Even Stoke are showing more ambition than us.

Be very disappointing if we don't sign anyone (quality) if we miss out on Arteta. I was looking forward to having him at Arsenal.

Yeah but thats Sky, they were still reporting that Joe Cole was in Birmingham negotiating with Villa earlier when the deal with Lille had been confirmed on Liverpools website.

If Benayoun is the extent of our summer signings then the clubs complete lack of ambition is a fúcking embarrassment.

A 31 year crock and yet another cast off from one of our rivals.

i'm gonna go out for a run - hopefully it'll bring us luck

Why do I get the feeling potential signings are just going to get worse and worse as the deadline draws nearer. 🙁

Again I'm stunned at the pathetic stupidity of our cheapskating pennypinching ways.

Only makes sense. Teams don't want to sell their best players with 3.5 hours to go. Fucking Wenger

Laughable:

Apparently we agreed a fee with Everton over Arteta but we couldn't agree personal terms. Not only are we going for a meh crock midfielder, we can't even agree terms with him.

Fuck off ratboy. Almost got pleased with Arsenal's deadline day shopping for about 20 minutes until it looked like we were in for this deadbeat.

Why is it one thing or the other with this club? We fix one problem with the team and then go and screw up something equally as important.

3 hours left. Maybe, just maybe...

Shocking window even by Wenger's standards.

If that's true, we'll sign him.

Bendtner to Sunderland... I completely forgot about this dolt. I'd rather keep him around at this point.

Livid. Another fucking reject confirming (a) how poorly planned and panicked our purchases have been and (b) what a small-time club joke we are. It's not even as if Arteta is the 'super-quality' Wenger claims will be the only thing to force his hand.

None of our signings are 'super-quality' and even though I'm glad with numbers, there is no question that this has been a very poorly managed window.
