Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has slammed Arsenal's business in last summer's transfer window.
Arsenal continue to flatter to deceive this season, and last summer's signings have been called under scrutiny.

“Arsenal are not the same team as the last two years. There is yet to be a performance that leaves you thinking they look like the next champions," Carragher said.
The balance of the squad is not right."
“Prioritising signing midfielder Mikel Merino ahead of another attacker last summer looks like a mistake. Merino is not a game-changer.”
