The transfer window closed today and as we all hoped that Arsenal would prove to spend some of that money they earned for Kolo Toure and Adebayor, it was not to be. Vermaelen was our signing and he has done a good job so far, but we really needed to spend some money on someone to help compliment CESC in the midfield and it didn't happen.
So injuries have already started and we have a long way to go before the next window opens. I just hope we realize that there is a need to have some depth on our team and that right now we are thin in several roles on the field.
