I think most Arsenal fans would agree they have got the deal of transfer window. One can help to think that Roy Keane's comments today weren't a sly shot, saying that 'Ronaldo was cheap at £80m compared to other strikers. Don't tell anyone that Im about to agree with a former Sunderland boss, but he has a point.

The problem I have with Adebayor is the fact that he's been 'potential' for far too many seasons. And with him being one of the only constantly available striker at AFC, it was never enough. Someone of his size and stature, should be competing with likes of Drogba physically but he never did it. 

Now, I'm sure most people will feel I'm pessimistic about anything Manchester City at the moment. I am not. I really hope they do well and break that routine top 4, which is making it a two-tier league. They surely have the fire power to do it. I'd like to see them bring in another CB, which I dont think John Terry will be. He is Mr. Chelsea. But someone who'll have a wealth of experience to bring along the likes of Micah Richards, stabilise Richard Dunne and free up Wayne Bridge. I'm not sure that Mark Hughes is the man for the Job either. However, let him try. I'm not in favour of the quick turnover of managers that seems to be the latest craze. We need some successful young British managers to come through! Bring Aidy Boothroyd back into football!

As for Arsenal, what this transfer window holds remains to be seen. A new striker is now needed. A defensive midfielder to free up the old Fabregas in my opinion is another weak point. A maybe just a few more squad players. I think quality of depth let them down last season.
