Wasn't he a winter window signing?

This has been, on paper, a very good window. Except for the delay in getting Mustafi.

Mustafi and Xhaka are both excellent signings. Internationals at positions of need, and quality internationals too.

Perez is a wait and see but at least he's a striker. When we get Welbeck back we should have options up top health permitting.

Very good window on the whole. An elite striker would have made it superb, but we spent a good bit and got a good bit.


ETA: I also think a Koscielny-Mustafi pairing could be the best in the league and we may have the best back five in the Prem now. Back 6 including Xhaka.

The delay is what really pisses me off. It is so dumb. Wenger treats the first month of the season like it's preseason, which just gives Manchester city, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham a chance to get a nice point bump over us. Plus, when they come into the squad late like that they have no time to gel with their teammates and form chemistry.
