We have Igor, Reza and Lookman for the more poacher/pacey striker role, with Vaz Te gone Makienok needs competition.
A Championship relegation battle is a big drop down for him, I think he'll at least give us a useful option in the squad. Happy with Sanogo myself, what sort of player were we expecting in our position?
Agree with @DOUCHER, was also hoping for more of an attacking/creative midfielder. But think cover up top and at right back are needed. I also hold out some hope that if CC can get fit, either he or Johann could play as a #10
my hunch is that we will get gnabry in a weeks time but wouldn't be surprised if lookman isn't part of it - not that he will leave but maybe some kind of pre deal agreement - he hasn't signed the 4 yr contract offered to him yet and our priority must be to stay up and i reckon gnabry could help secure that.
I'm gutted we didn't get a prolific premiership striker and a couple of class midfielders on loan. We are such an attractive prospect they must have been lining up..,/!!!!
Disappointing not to get a creative centre midfielder... AGAIN.
To be fair we do have one of the top assisters in the league.
If JBG were to get injured who's going to provide the creativity though. To me it's been clear for a long time that Jackson and Cousins together just doesn't work.
To be fair, he makes a right mess of the first one, the second one looked like a desperate lunge at a ball he couldn't quite reach and the third one came back at him off the post from about a foot away and he didn't have enough tie to sort his feet out.
Of course if you are in the internet click bate market, then its easy to characterise them all as comedy misses but none of them were exactly Ronnie Rozethal, or Martin Pringle vs Wallsall.

At least, we are starting with really low expectations 'couldn't hit a cows' arse with a banjo' from the Arsenal blog pages was one of the kinder things I have read. So anything better than that is a bonus.

The curtains are now drawn on our transfer window.

Some more work with Wenger sets Lookman up for a sale and leaseback with them at the end of the season or (hopefully) next.
Wasn't sure about losing Moussa but not really sure where to play him.
I'd've expected better than that from you @RedPanda
