Paul Merson fails to understand why Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger failed to sing any player other than goalkeeper Petr Cech in the transfer window.

A majority of the Gunners fanbase has been left frustrated by the club's severe lack of transfer activity in the summer window and former star Merson has joined disgruntled chorus.

Merson told Sky Sports: "If you're an Arsenal season ticket holder, you're paying top dollar. It's their money. It's the fans' money. It's not Arsene Wenger's money. It's not the club's money. It's the fans' money that they've paid to buy players.

"The whole idea of going to this big stadium that holds 60,000 people was to bring in top quality players. I don't know [why Arsenal aren't spending the money].

"Just put in a bid for Benzema. £75m. If Real Madrid turn around and say 'we're not selling him', you can't argue with that. You've put in a bid and if they turn it down or the lad doesn't want to come, that's the way it goes. But show something."

The Gunners were the only club in the top five European Leagues to have not signed an outfield player.
