Wengers not commentating Uruguay-France because "he's busy with transfer matters". Someone needs to lock him in his office if you ask me.

Just me or did Man City just need a striker? Don't know why they're spending £50m on midfielders.

he can if he bloody spends the money available on true quality able to push us on not differ on it then end up with some lame buys.

I saw Davids feature on SSN and wrote up a bit of what was spoken of...

Arsene has waved his magic wand again by grabbing CL, it is an achievement but its not enough for many many fans, analysis of the season will highlight Arsenal were 16 points behind Utd. Arsenal had the second best defense in the league

Asked of the fans calls for him to come back he answered thats hes literally at every home game when pressed he said of course, everyone knows I love Arsenal. Dein was then asked of Usmanov. He says its bizarre that someone with such a vast amount of shares in the club to not be on the board.

On Arsene strengthening. Wenger wants to strengthen and will but the environment is very competitive. Patrick Vieira was chased by Real Madrid every window and Dein had to call Patrick to ask where he was going on his summer holiday so he could join him making sure no Real Madrid seniors get to him. Dein use to go to the African Cup Of Nations and hardly anyone was there but now its a completely different story. Arsenal scouts all over the world are looking for talent to add to the squad.

On England. The quality coming through needs to be better, simple as that.

Rooney won't happen. We won't pay his wages. Just PR from Ivan.

Fellaini looks more likely but i'll believe it when I see it

[thenry]

I wont rule anything out this summer purely because theres money to spend.

We desperately needed midfielders.

We have only Yaya in central position. Barry and Milner are either too slow/not good enough for that role.

Fernandinho therefore necessary signing.

We desperately needed width and pace. Navas solves that problem. We had a real lack of creativity last year.

We also need to sell tevez & dzeko and sign replacement striker.
