Looks like you can have one final celebratory drink - it appears he has signed!
Think I will lol
30 minutes left to bring in a forward.

I've been on the whisky all day (medicinal purposes) to clam my nerves, I'm now to p×××ed to know whether we've signed him or not.
Looks like Moyes is leaving this window empty handed. Good luck climbing that five point mountain to the champions elect now! I love David Moyes.

Is that you Joe?
I'm considering a dram (for medicinal purposes) although I don't think I'll be toasting any new arrivals.

In more important news, it appears AJ may be on his way to Palace, which if true leaves us with an unfit Zamora and Austin up front. Harry must have something up his sleeve if this is true.
Definitely not! I support my local team
You don't need a reason for a wee dram ..... or two or six
United got Fellaini.
Lukaku to Everton on loan confirmed by his personal twitter account.
It's all over the place now. Also seems they got Coentrao on loan. Lukaku to Everton on loan confirmed by his personal twitter account.
McCarthy and Barry too. Some good signings for Everton.
I'm hearing mixed messages regarding Ceontrao.
Seems a bit weird - maybe it's a cunning plan. Hi Gareth, we got rid of our left back by mistake, so can you, ermm, play left back until the next transfer window.
It would be a decent left side to be fair, Bale and Ronaldo.
Don't know too much about McCarthy but getting Lukaku is a great signing, and Barry should be decent.
We're all forgetting how amazing Newcastle have been in this window! Joe 'judge me on my signings' Kinnear has played a blinder
The Man U debacle re: signing that kid was priceless!
And us, Everton, City, Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal have actually used the window for its actual purpose i.e. strengthening their squads!
I still think we need a striker. Giroud is what he is, a £10M striker, and we need more quality than that. Still, should be an interesting season.
I actually really rate Giroud. He was frustrating at times last year when he missed good chances but he's finding his feet a lot more now and will be good for us. Of course it would have been nice to bring in a massive name to give him some competition but thank God we withdrew interest in Suarez and don't have to suffer that poisoned chalice.
As for defence, our defensive record last season speaks for itself with the 2nd least goals conceded despite the highest number of individual errors leading to goals. One more RB/CB would have been ideal but it's really not a concern for me at this stage
We have a small squad of players who are very versatile and can play in a number of positions if needed so in that regard I'm very happy with the squad we have. The greatest satisfaction is knowing that we've been building towards this type of signing for 8 years and have achieved it entirely by ourselves. That makes such a massive transfer all the sweeter for any Arsenal fan.
The only issue is that our defs seem to make more 'costly' decisions.
I would have liked another att but happy with giroud as no 1
In the last 12/13 games you've only lost one game - against Villa, before that I think it was Spurs last season. To me, that says your defence is in fantastic shape.
They were 2nd best in the league last season, and that was with Vamarlen playing awfully...
Jelster said:I know that Ozil is a fantastic signing, but I think the best bit of business we did was getting Flamini on a free. The difference he can make is immense, he's versatile, a proven winner and understands Wenger. On Sunday he was talking and directing at the back, something we haven't had for some time.
Giroud will get better, but somebody with a bit more pace and greater technically would have been excellent. Listening to the pundits last night, many of them saying this could be the new dawn for Arsenal, with an agile and intelligent team. Who knows ? Let's hope so.
