Expectant fans everywhere will be desperately hoping to see their respective teams buy some success next season, as yet another hectic transfer window gets into full swing.

Of course, nowhere will that be true more so than at the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal will not feature in Champions League competition for the first time since 1996-97.

Long-serving manager Arsene Wenger has resisted persistent calls for his resignation by signing a new two-year contract at the club in May, despite his relative lack of silverware in recent times.

The Gunners are without a Premier League title in 13 years, with four FA Cup final victories to show for their efforts during the intervening period.

Wenger will require all his nous for sniffing out talented individuals who are capable of transporting his beloved club back to the glory days enjoyed by 2004’s ‘Invincibles’.

What he certainly cannot afford is to make rash recruitment decisions that could result in the bringing down of his 20-year regime once and for all.

Therefore, he would do well to take heed from this assortment of disastrous transfer market mistakes.
