Arsenal need extra time but SHOULD seal deal for Welbeck

Well Arsenal fans, how much did we enjoy that transfer deadline day? About as much as the first visit to meet your girlfriends parents or maybe the last time you went to A and E and had to sit all night to see a stressed out nurse to have splinters of glass picked out of your buttocks maybe.

And it is still not over as the deal, the only one we have, for Danny Welbeck from Man United has been held up and Arsenal have asked and been given an extension to get the transfer done and dusted. I am not staying up any longer, no way, but as long as Welbeck is a Gunner by tomorrow it will not have been a complete disaster in my opinion.

I do have to wonder, though, what happened to the defensive midfielder and centre back that we were after. Wenger himself admitted last week that we were short at the back so I am struggling to understand why we didn’t sign anyone in those areas, especially as the club was supposed to have more dough than Warburtons.

I really hope that Wenger can say at the end of the season that he proved all his doubters wrong as he parades the Premier League trophy, but I have my doubts. How about you guys?
