Glad there's only 7 days left of the transfer window so I can stop stupidly getting my hopes up that @Arsenal actually sign someone we need

@Arsenal Sign a striker and a defender will you. If Wenger doesn't want to then fire him and find someone who will do the job properly!

Then this week came the news that Arsenal had completed deals for striker Lucas Perez from Deportivo La Coruna and central defender Shkodran Mustafi of Valencia. Two of Arsenal’s biggest needs had been addressed.
You would expect that the same Arsenal fans begging for the club to sign players for weeks would be happy. Of course that is not the case. To be fair many have posted positive reactions. However, proving that there are a lot of Gunners supporters who will never be happy check out the following comments.

If Wenger really wanted Perez he would have bought him earlier in the summer, like Xhaka. He is desperate. #afc #wengerout #whoislucasperez

Time will tell if Perez and Mustafi are indeed players that can help Arsenal mount a title challenge. Hopefully for the fans they will prove to be good signings. If not, you can expect to see the hashtag #WengerOut regularly on Twitter.
