In the circumstances, it’s one of the worst windows ever. It was clear what we needed. This is deliberate vandalism of our chances of silverware by the same people whose job it is to win that silverware.

Transfer window unconvincing.

Calafiore decent.

Merino, not sure, I would have gone for other targets and now he’s out for a while after one tackle (doesn’t bode well).

Sterling, no thanks, well past his best IMO, looks like a player who’s been living on his reputation, plays like someone much older than he is and looks burnt out to me, he’s a guy people ridiculed last season.

This summer needed to be special, with that marquee signing, difference maker, match winner, hasn’t happened and the signings we made are ok.

We did get rid of Nketiah though, that’s the best bit of business we’ve done, but sadly ESR is gone and he was brilliant.

6/10 for me

We will need Merino, Partey is done physically.

one of the worst PL windows overall.

Can't think of a window where Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs fans are all unhappy at the business done.

Brighton had the second highest spending in Europe. BRIGHTON.

I can only assume this window was a case of balancing the books. Sad thing is, if Neto is on loan, are we going to have to spend on yet another keeper next summer?

Some decent fees and some not so, but at least Nketiah is gone. Great bloke and glad for him but he was pointless here. He will get a few goals via Eze but if he (Eze) gets injured than Palace could be in for a very tough season.

Chelsea clearly don't give a shit, City are still the team to beat and we have had our usual curse with injuries already. This was our best chance to go big and get home but there clearly wasn't the money. Whomever is to blame for that is now a past issue.

PSR may have made this a damp squib but when you consider the main (or at least secondary) culprits are City and Chelsea, it's even more galling. Hopefully we can get top 4 again (already gave up on the League) and go big again next year.
Good old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name

Pretty sure most Arsenal fans are okay with the window only the most stupid fans think its bad window compared to the rest of the teams.
Spurs spend quite abit like def one of their biggest spends ever 150m.
Liverpool never spend anyway its their model since forever they need to sell first to bring in.

Rarely seen anyone more full of shit than you frankly. I mean, it’s every fkin post you come out with pure vomit.

We needed a striker, we got Raheem Stirling.

Our strikers a Havertz and Jesus. f***ing er, great.

We were light on numbers, we sold a bunch of the squad.

But you just carry on there with your, whatever it is you do. We’re supposed to be trying to win the league. It doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing.

To be honest I don't give a toss about other teams, we needed a striker and didn't get one, and for some strange reason that's all he concentrated on was the defence so I would give this transfer window a 20 - 100, :(

And where do you get your info from? Cos as I see it most Arsenal fans on this forum are not happy with the window and judging by the comments I read on other websites, they are not alone.

The usual suspects are not happy because they spend every waking hour telling us we need a striker.
Personally, I find it really weird that fans get into such an emotional state over transfer windows.
I would have thought the time to judge was after we see whether the players we bought improved the team.

The usual suspects have to complain about the opinion of others instead of accepting it.
