Bumping this for the start of the season Saturday. We've just signed a guy from the Dutch league named Oussama Assaidi for something like 3 million pounds. Decent business I think as he looks to be pacy and creative. Obviously a replacement, along with Borini, for Kuyt/Maxi/Craig who all left this summer. Hopefully he'll push Downing to be better as well.
I hope we bring in Dempsey still too, we really need some attacking prowess up front. If we could somehow send Adam and money to Fulham for Dempsey and snag Nuri Sahin on loan, then this would be a good summer imo, provided we don't sell Agger last minute.
We're also playing against our former assistant manager, Steve Clarke, this saturday. We really need to start off with a win, not like that lame 1-1 draw with Sunderland last year. Have to come out and make a statement. Especially since Arsenal has lost RVP, if we play well, we've got a shot to sneak into 4th.
