Yesterday was transfer deadline day and Arsene Wenger is not at Arsenal - he is in Italy. To be fair, he was there to support a charity event - which is to be applauded, but which other Premier League manager was away from their club on this important transfer day?
More importantly Arsenal fans are underwhelmed at the signing of Welbeck. Another gamble? Probably - a good player but have a look at the strikers at Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and now Manchester United , and compare them to the options Arsenal have in the strikers department.
Arsenal fans see what other top premier league teams are doing - signing top quality players -and prepared to pay the going rate for them. Arsenal keep buying 'potential' - and this does not convince Arsenal fans that Arsenal are serious about challenging for the top spot in the Premier League, or Champions League.
To be fair, signings such as Ozil and Sanchez have showed ambition, but Arsenal fans can still see the weak areas of Arsenals squad,and fear that Arsenal's squad just is not good enough to compete with the other top teams of the Premier league,and in the Champions League.
Welbeck is a good player, and under Wenger he may well prove to be a good signing. Arsenal fans, yet again, were looking for Arsenal to make a statement of intent in this transfer window and are left feeling underwhelmed.
PS.................................Just Watched Welbeck in the Switzerland v England game. Ladies and Gentlemen - we have a bargain!
