The Arsenal Standard | Villa Postmatch + Transfer Deadline Day
After a grinding 0-1 win at Villa Park on Monday night, Tuesday brought upon us the summer transfer window deadline.
BG & OG Ryan are along to break down the performance at The Villains and assess our moves in the transfer window.
Was a gritty 0-1 win enough? Could The Arsenal have done more?
And could the club have done more in the transfer window after losing out on Morgan Rogers, Vini, Jr AND Julian Alvarez? Do Christos Tzolis, Bruno Guimaraes and Ezri Konsa raise the standard?
