Unlike the summer one this January transfer window wasn’t a very productive one for the Gunners.
Although a lot of Arsenal fans weren’t expecting the club to be busy this winter, a few (like me) were probably still hoping for a big-name signing to come in – especially after being linked with a host of top players.
Of course this did not come to fruition and like always the January window for Arsenal is becoming as predictable as Arsene Wenger’s tactics.
Between the 1st of January until the end of the window (the 31st), Arsenal only managed to tie up seven deals – acquiring two new recruits (one on a short-term loan), while five were sent out on a temporary basis until the end of the season.
Here is a summary of Arsenal’s transfer activity during the January transfer window:
INS:
Thomas Eisfeld from Borussia Dortmund (£400,000)
LOANS IN:
Thierry Henry from New York Red Bulls (loan until the end of February)
OUTS:
None
LOAN OUTS:
Emmanuel Frimpong to Wolves (end of season loan)
Vito Mannone to Hull (end of season loan)
Sanchez Watt to Crawley (end of season loan)
Daniel Boateng to Swindon (end of season loan)
Ryo Miyaichi to Bolton (end of season loan)
So in total we spent a whopping £400,000 during the January transfer window.
Let’s hope more is spent in the upcoming summer.
