Pretty much following on from other post's.
Now all the bitching, biting, eye gouging, bottom lip quivering, scratching, name calling and finger pointing has died down, have we had a good window.
I was as vocal as anybody of late, but on the whole, I'm very happy.
Probably our biggest spend in a decade, we have not only added quality, but quality where needed most.
Xhaka, once settled, will be a fantastic player, very much in the Vieira mode.
He adds steel and bite to our midfield, as well as a varied range of passing to unlock defences.
Mustafi is top quality, and I believe his partnership with Kos will be the best in the Prem.
Holding has settled in straight away.
He has a lot of learning to do, will fit in comfortably as back up to Mustafi and Kos, and will be Kos's natural replacement.
Definitely England's future Centre Half, as well as possible Captain.
Perez, not heard much about, but from reports, will play an important role this season.
Very much a 'Vardy' type player, so his style should compliment Giroud, but has the quality to be our 'new striker'.
Happy day's everybody.

Dags would it be rude of me to point out that your Holding summary is identical to the one you gave on Chambers in 2014 :-)

We have all had our opinions and as to whether we have had a good window, i'm sure it will all pan out regardless of what we have said in the next few months. But what hasn't been addressed is the striking position, we never got our targets and again time will tell as to whether we sink or swim because of. We have our squad and mr wenger has spent a large amount of money, it is all now down to his judgement.

Lol is that the same holding who got the runaround against Liverpool 2 weeks ago, anybody can look good against Watford, let's see how he cope's against golden boy harry Kane, Diego costa, sturridge, lbrahimovic etc.

Gunner let's not be negative, although chambers did look like a future star and was he not called up to the england squad.

You are indeed correct G62.
Let's hope I'm correct this time :-)
Steve, Lacazette was always my first choice, but have a feeling Perez is going to be a terrific acquisition.
Raver, is that golden boy Harry Kane who hasn't even had a shot on target in 3 games.
Nice to see him continuing on from his England form :-)

Raver how do you think your boys will get on against costa, ibra, sturrige, aguero and sanchez.
29 Aug 2016 01:44:46
Dags are you saying sir harry kane is a one hit wonder.
29 Aug 2016 08:39:46
Steve,
Only to wind Raver up, but don't tell him :- (
29 Aug 2016 10:40:38
Thanks dags I got you to call Harry Kane a poor striker, you know what happens next he goes goal crazy everytime you put the knockers' on him.
29 Aug 2016 12:54:52
Raver is right for once! In which case Dags would you mind having a go at Olly and maybe just Maybe poking a questioning finger at Perez whilst back tracking on Harry and declaring Henry wasn't fit to lace Kane's boots :-)
