Maybe, then again we've had a covid outbreak, players out injuried etc.
It's a mix of both imo.

Resigning Xhaka is just mind boggling. He’s a red card machine. Should have let Jose take him for €5

Troubling start for sure - of course Chelski and Citeh are tough asks so early. Now losing while putting in a good performance would be understandable but they were toothless. Fortunately Arsenal have a decent stretch of games coming up. No Europe to worry about either.

If Ben White turns out to be a good signing, you'll look back on this transfer window as a success. If not, it'll be seen as a disaster

I think White will be decent for Arsenal but needs a big man next to him

yeah agree. a little unfair to expect White to be a transformative CB in a traditional pairing when he was in a solid back 3 at Brighton with Dunk there as the leader.

He is good but the price tag is going to be a source of pressure

Quite happy with the transfer window overall. Would have liked to see more permanent departures however.
All of our transfers are young players, so it's hard to judge on it now. Let's hope they all end up being good deals.
