    Wenger has told Arsenal.com that he will not be buying this transfer window unless the squad is struck by injury. I'm not sure if he's going senile but we're definitely having a bit of an injury issue.

    We have been linked with Hazard and Benzema...

    I thought maybe he'd be looking for some more insurance in the center back position but I guess not.

    Otherwise we aren't really in need. Vela has been a disappointment but we have JET waiting in the wings.

    Not happy.

    I still think we need a decent keeper, and cover at defensive midfield.

    I'm also not convinced about our centre backs, but I can wait until the end of the season to see if they improve.

    I think we'd have to be in a pretty desperate mode to want to buy a keeper in January. We're not there right now and haven't been for several weeks. I agree that getting a world class keeper is important but realistically I don't see it happening. Wenger is sticking to his Poles.

    Hopefully Vermaelen will get back soon.

    This can't come soon enough.

    We've really missed him, and would be in a different situation if he'd been playing.

    I wonder how many points clear we'd be at the top of the table?

    There is still no return date for him. He has some sort of mystery injury.
