I think Spurs have signed some very good players, They will take a while to bed in, 6/7 players is more or less a whole new team. I'd fear them more next season as genuine challengers to United Crown next season then this. Ozil will be a good signing, however I hope he signs for United, we need him and I think he would be ideal for United, still we can always buy him in a year from Arsenal once he has bedded in to the EPL Cool

He used to come off with 15 mins to go every game because he was the only player that Mourinho wasn't scared of upsetting. Nothing wrong with the player, just a weak manager.

Paying 42m for a player that spurs were never even chasing is hardly making them look like mugs.

Wenger would've been better spending 42m on Higuain and Mignolet anyway.

Agree with a support striker for Giroud as for the defence, possibly a back up cb but you are aware that Arsenal had the 2nd best defence in the premier league last year?  There are other clubs who need defenders more urgently!
