My Gut Feeling Says We Won't Sign A Defender

I've got a feeling brewing in my guts and I'm sure it isn't the Peking duck from the Chinese take-away I had last night taking its revenge or the whack on the knackers I received from my pal's two-year-old either this morning.

This feeling has been growing the longer this transfer-window has gone on and I'm starting to think that maybe it has a point. As the days go by so does my hope that we sign a much needed defender.

You never know with Arsene Wenger what will happen in a transfer-window but his comments that a loan-signing would be best for Arsenal today have swayed me more to the fact we won't be bringing anyone in.

Obviously the gaffer has a more extensive scouting system than I have but I've been wracking my bonce since I saw this and I cannot for the life of me think of anyone who would be available for loan in this position.

I suppose although myself and many others think that Arsene should bring someone in at the back it's not worth getting frustrated over. There is nothing we can do but sit and wait until the window closes and see what has happened.

January transfer windows are very annoying though. You wait for it and hope that problem areas in the squad can be rectified and then you wait some more. Then some more. Then some more and finally its all done and you realise you have just spent a month looking at Arsenal websites with your eye-balls hanging out your head.

I'm just going to take some deep-breaths and not be pissed off if we haven't brought anyone in by February 1st. I'm gearing myself up to believe we won't be signing anyone so I can avoid the inevitable disappointment if we don't.

Keep It Goonerish........
