After seeing his Arsenal side demolish Norwegian outfit Viking FK 8-0 in their latest pre-season friendly, Arsene Wenger might feel he has earned the right to relax a little.
However, in his post-match press conference, he seemed almost too calm about the club’s prospects in the transfer window. Arsenal are in serious need of reinforcements, and a friendly victory—however impressive—does not change that.
Arsenal fans want to see the club behaving bullishly in the market, ruthlessly pursuing their top targets to ensure they improve the team. Instead, the Gunners continue to use the rhetoric they made their trademark in the impoverished years immediately after the move to the Emirates Stadium.
