Former Arsenal star Frank McLintock has told talkSPORT that he is far from impressed with Arsene Wenger's signings this transfer window.

The club have brought in Gervinho, Per Mertesacker, Mikel Arteta, Andre Santos and Park Chu Young amongst others since the end of last season.

But McLintock believes the club's transfer policy is poor and although he wants the players to succeed he feels they could be in for a tough season.

He told Kick Off: "I'm not impressed with the names, I hope they do very well. I'm not going to be out there looking to criticise, I want to give them all the support I can.

"I think we got about £70million in transfers from players leaving the club and yet again we seem to be after the second best [players] nearly all of the time. It's a reaction rather than being already prepared.

"I can't understand why, if we've got two billionaires on the board, they couldn't just put in some money, buy three players in preparation so we're not scrambling around at the last minute. I'm really disappointed.
