Arsenal have spent around £135m this summer to improve their squad. As good as this sounds, it is rather pathetic how the Gunners have spent the funds injected by their owners.

(Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images The KSE Enterprise, Arsenal Owners have been under criticism for years for not investing much in the club as the club is gradually losing its big team tag. After their eighth place finishes in consecutive seasons in the Premier League, fans called for their American owners to sanction the sale of the club, to another owner, and of course Daniel Ek became a famous name for his interest in taking over the club. However, Stan Kroenke was adamant about selling the club and to appease the club faithfuls, he decided to inject the cash so the club can bring in new players and become more competitive in competitions.

AFP PHOTO/ LLUIS GENE (Photo credit should read LLUIS GENE/AFP via Getty Images) Speaking in an interview, the 41 years old said; "In 2010, I was playing for Almeria and we went to face Barça. Before the match, my friends called me to ask for my jersey so they could auction it and raise money for the victims of the floods which were taking place in Argentina. I had the idea of going to see Messi before the match to explain the situation and see if I could have his jersey after the game. But as we lost 8-0 and I was very angry, I forgot to get his shirt at the end of the match. But the Almeria steward came up to me in the locker room and told me that someone wanted to see me. I went out the locker room and I saw Messi with a little bag. H

Despite his poor display last season, many will believe it is just a difficult phase and will expect the Arsenal captain to find his scoring boots when the new season gets underway. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang look dejected in a Premier League fixture. Photo by James Williamson - AMA/Getty Images It however appears that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang might have passed his glorious days after his lethargic and unimproved performances saw him finish the preseason campaign without having scored a goal. The Gabonnese started all six of Arsenal's pre-season games and failed to register a goal, as the Gunners endured a below par preparation for the new season. Aubameyang look lost in the preseason games and might be another impeding worry for Mikel Arteta in the new season as his dropped performance had significant impact on the club's overall performance last season, since he is their main goal threat. Before the end of the summer transfers, Arsenal might need to bring in another striker i
