We need more signings, hence the reason I said I can't vote until I see what we do in the transfer market.

that means absolutely nothing.
the market is the last place you go to resolve an issue.
we are not 2 players away from anything, we are already a definite contender for the title.
We need an extra body in midfield.
An elite striker is a dream
we can do it without the striker, its going to be harder but not impossible.
we can do it without the midfielder it's going to be harder but not impossible.
if we are the better team we are going to win it.
from january till now we showed we are the better team.

We've always had those "good enough to win the title" runs. We lead a calendar year ffs, that is as big as sample size gets. We need those extra players to actually win it. We can challange it if everything goes well but they haven't so far. It would be stupid to assume that they will next season.

If wenger decided to change the team to match the opponents, drill thhe defence and not be affraid to park the bus occasionally and have a plan b in attack them maybe. He won't though.

It would greatly boost our chances though, something you yourself acknowledged just 5 minutes ago - how it will be harder to win without bringing in extra bodies.

Obviously getting those type of players isn't going to make you a winner for sure but it would give better chance. That's the point of transfer seasons no? To get better in the short or long term or get money, depending on the clup's plans. We want to challange the league.

Cool. Give up before a ball has been kicked and stay pissed for a whole season.
I really don't mind what people think when I vote for arsenal to win the league. Most people laughed at an invincible season and it wasn't that long ago that silverware was impossible under AW and we would never break our transfer record of 15m.
Shit changes.
It's only a matter of time and its not as big a stretch as some will have you believe.

Thank you, for this, thank you so much
There a serious negative mentality problem with England in general.
'Two player away from winning' England has become so obsessed with buying their way out of trouble, its totally forgotten how a club is built from within, how important tit is for squad chemistry and developing the players you have.
What has the emergence of Coquelin taught us all!
We also seem to be slow in seeing the big issue and big shift in football. What Chelsea have done along with City is totally ruin the football market which has so conveniently coincided with the heavy downfall of player quality. But you still see these ignorant fools claim City will be unstoppable if they buy two massively overrated players in Pogba and Sterling along with Kevin DeBruyne, who is a very good player who had a good season but, no he's not Zidane! City and Chelsea built their castles at times when get received a crazy amount f money and had so many World Class and top class players available to buy. But now, partly thanks to them buying layers for stupid prices, their karma is coming back to bite them, the market is heavily inflated and the talent is half, not even a quarter as good. and Oh Dear, their players are getting old and need to revamp the entire squad?
Something Wenger showed so well last season was his biggest strength as a manager, how he gets the team to get on with eachover on and off the pitch so harmoniously! Something we massively take for granted! Even managers i think are better than Wenger find this hard! hast where my confidence lies.
I'd like us t get to players but i really not worried or fussed if we do or not and the smart thing is to bide our time and see who is available int he next 6 weeks. We have a very settled squad with great quality and enough at the very very least t mount a serious challenge. Not ONCE, lets not forget not even ONCE in the last 10 years! has our squad looked as strong as this going into the new season. Normally every rent a Journo is tipping us to finish 5th.
