TL:DR - we only scored two less goals this year while conceding 12 less, and we have an advantage of cohesion whereas the other top 4 teams will all be dealing with new managers. Maybe we can win something. Maybe.

How big is the total transfer budget fellas? I was thinking right around 100m before getting rid of players.

FTW.
Or rather FTL since we're talking about Chamakh.

Is someone gonna post the quote from Benteke on Arsenal? On phone so I can't.

first time i've ever seen tl;dr on a 600 word post. anyways, it looks like you did read it and have hit the important points. certainly sets up well for us to at least be in the title race if we make the right additions.

don't like ashley williams or did you want him for 'pool?
Posted on 5/24/13 at 3:42 pm to Friend of OBUDan
Don't like him
Posted on 5/24/13 at 3:49 pm to LSUSOBEAST1
Because he's an assassin.

I like Williams as a third choice CB. He can play the ball really well, which is what we need, and seems decent defensively. I thought Chico was the better CB for Swansea, but I liked the way Williams played. He would fit into our side more seamlessly than Mertesacker, who is an embarrassingly bad passer out of the back. If we pay 10m for him, it will be way too much though.
Koscielny has been so good the last couple of months that I don't see any way TV5 gets back into the line-up. He won't be happy being third choice, so if we do buy Williams it will mean the end of TV5, I think. On paper, a partnership between Kos and TV5 sounds awesome. They are both fast, ball playing CB's with decent aerial abilities. But TV5 is a positional nightmare, though he is a good player, if that makes any sense. If he could fix his positioning, he might make his way back into the side. But I think Wenger is ready to cut his losses.

this is pretty much how i feel. he's not a terrible player but nothing exciting. other than the attempted murder on RvP. was hoping for someone like young and exciting like Ogbonna.
the other possibility, which i don't think is likely because of his mental lapses/positional awareness, is training TV5 as a DM. if that doesn't happen, any CB purchase means he'll be on his way out.
after he has been linked to ManU for forever, i'm starting to see us linked with Strootman. don't really have an opinion on him, haven't watched him enough, but if ManU want him and he's a DLP, I would not mind. crazy (or Beast, though I doubt you'll want to give us some ideas for signings
) you watch more from the other leagues. any DLP/DM targets you would be interested in? i know we've discussed DMs previously but I've slept since then.
speaking of DMs, how about M'Vila having sex with a 15yo prostitute? what a train wreck his career has become. sad to see.

If we get Williams, Sanogo and Jovetic, we will be off to a pretty solid start this summer. I'd cream my pants if the midfielder we were getting would be someone like Kevin Strootman. I suppose I would be happy with Gonalons as well, but I'd rather Strootman. I wonder whether we should be targeting another attacking midfielder. I suppose Jovetic can play right behind the striker, but he isn't a midfielder, and we'd have to change our shape to accommodate him, or return to that 4-4-1-1 shape we started the season with.
I'm looking forward to seeing who leaves. Lots of dross on this roster.

If not Strootman or Gonalons, I'd take Rakitic from Sevilla. Really good player. I think he's underrated. Maybe we can get Steven Defour, though with Moutinho gone from Porto, that seems unlikely. Marvin Martin is still an option. If we want to go super young, we could go with Matthias Ginter from Freiburg. Also Markus Henriksen from AZ. Let me think so more.

It would be sweet if Ever Banega returned to form after his really bad injury. Also I would love to get Ander Herrera from Bilbao, but I don't think that will be possible.

They are essentially the same player. Kos git caught up in the newcastle game just like verm did all season. Verm was prob being asked to attack and be the distributor out the back. Thing is he sucked at that this season.
If verm wants to stay, let.him. we will need more than 3 cbs. Also, why not slide sagna inside if we keep him. Not to start obviously, but some players have mad the transition when they didnt have the legs to constantly attack and defend. Could be a back up on the rt and center.
This obviously is all contingent on the current players feelings on being a role player and if arsenal can get a guy they want at the price they want.
Finances will play a big role, but i dont want to spend money and replace current players with inferior players. We will be rt back struggling for a cl spot.

thanks for the suggestions. i was wondering what had happened to banega since his name always used to be batted around. i seem to recall we were runners-up to juve for arturo vidal a few years back. that would have been a hell of a signing.
mirror and mail "reporting", for tomorrow's issues, that we very much want rooney and will offer him a 5yr deal worth ~200k/wk. say fiorentina wants 25m for jovetic and/or that he's starting to want to stay in italy with juve.
crazy rumor transfer season in full force!
