The 3-1 home loss to Aston Villa on Saturday was the culmination of a summer of dithering, inactivity and a lack of desire in the transfer market, while all our rivals strengthened in ways that we should have.

Despite promises from Ivan Gazidis and the board that the largest transfer sum of money in the club’s history was available, and would be used, to effectively strengthen the team, a transfer expenditure of zero hangs over the club like a solitary dark rain cloud.

The current crisis at Arsenal

These empty promises are the reason why fans are calling for the board’s heads more vocally than ever before, and why even the strongest Wenger supporters are now unable to effectively defend him.

The reason for our general incompetence is that Arsene Wenger is not the same manager as he was ten years ago, when he formed what was in my opinion the greatest league side to ever take the field, that went an unprecedented season unbeaten.

On July 23^rd, a third poll was held where people could vote on how much money people believed Wenger would spend strengthening the squad this summer.

These polls have been held to gauge peoples’ beliefs and levels of optimism for the club after CEO Ivan Gazidis’ proclamation of our £70 million war-chest, ability to pay astronomical salaries, akin to that of Wayne Rooney (£250k per week), and that we would be conducting our transfer business early.

2013 has revealed a rather sudden policy change at Arsenal, demonstrated by this new ruthless approach by Wenger in clearing out the so called ”Dead Wood”.

The clear-out has largely been applauded by the vast majority of the fan base desperate to see the players who have not made the grade make way for new faces.

But at the same time the club has been criticised the lack of new faces with the sole senior signing so far being Yaya Sanogo.

Roll up! Roll up!

So let us set the stage:

There is roughly three weeks to go before the circus that is the summer transfer window takes its final bow, making way for what is surely the most highly anticipated Premier League season to date.

Liverpool owner John W. Henry has taken centre stage and with a whip and a chair in each hand, desperately attempts to tame his fearsome Uruguayan lion, who roars loudly, desperate for freedom (and Champions league football).

With one final crack of his whip, ‘Henry the Lion Tamer’, his voice booming, commands him to stay, and after letting out one final roar, Luis the Lion, reluctantly obeys his owner and returns to his cage, to sulk.
