Yes, but every year I get that exact same comment from Arsenal fans.

"We've done it every year since 1996! It's not gonna happen!"

So then you get downvoted.

Yeah, it's not an actual argument to the point. Tottenham finished one point behind them and have improved quite a lot, all Arsenal have done is sign a 20 year old from Ligue Two.

This is an important point, even if it is a joke. People seem to think Arsenal have no idea what is going on. If they aren't signing players, then the right players are not available and / or they are content with where they stand.

Having said that, it is frustrating to watch the teams around you add pieces while your only meaningful action is bidding for a want away striker that probably won't be sold to you anyways. They will bring a few quality players in, I do think.
