We created a page for transfer frequency, in collaboration with data mastermind @bootifulgame. Some interesting stuff in there, including:
- Of all first team transfers under Wenger, 14% were signed in the last week of the summer
- The likelihood of signing a player in the last week of the summer, based on previous years, is 83%
- The average initial fee spent per transfer in the last week of the summer is £5.13m
- Of all players signed in the last week of the summer under Wenger, 46% have been defensive-minded (defenders or defensive-minded midfielders)
- In the last 18 years we have only signed three first-team strikers in the last week of the summer window, one of which was a loan (Baptista) and the other two were Park Chu-young and Danny Welbeck
At least it's highly likely we'll sign a player, but if the stats are anything to go by it's going to be a defender or midfielder.
Baptista, Park & Welbeck isn't giving me great confidence. All are below average.

My guess is that they buy another goal keeper. That will get the pundits and fans super mad.

We sure are going to add a player or two. Our bench is thin and there are almost no players in reserves that can make a breakthrough this season like Hector did, just Iwobi or Jeff Adelaide
