CM - Schneiderlin wouldn't be a bad EPL ready option.


Agreed. Would love Khedira or Bender but with the guys we have in the midfield already I think we could afford to wait and get a bigger name guy when Arteta moves on.


quote:

winger - griezmann and draxler have been heavily linked.


Like both of those guys a lot. I think Draxler price is gonna be too high and he will eventually gets snapped up by Bayern when Ribery leaves there. He's a great talent but I doubt Wenger will pay for him.

I think Griezmann would do well and he's french which makes sense for a Wenger addition


quote:

i think TV5 is probably gone


agree with that too, he's not gonna start over Per and Kos. We should get a young guy that won't demand as much playing time there but still could be good enough to play regularly if one of the two of them were to go down.

we're light at DM. we definitely need to pick one up. we can't rely on flamini, particularly long term. plus, all our injury issues show our problem with depth. i think a CM is a must buy. would be much easier to ease arteta out slowly.

i too think draxler will end up being priced out of our services. which is a damn shame. i want him or griezmann.

If Griezmann shows out in Brazil Arsenal could be priced out very quickly. I would love Adam Lallana and he's adapted to the PL, I think Chelsea gets him though.

I don't want a winger who asks for the ball to his feet. I want a winger who runs. Basically I want a wide forward. I haven't watched Griezemann enough to know what type of player he is, but if he's one of these attacking midfielders who is played out wide then I'd rather not pursue him.

I agree, Santi can be brilliant but he's not what Arsenal need all the time out wide when Ozil is playing. Imagine giving Ozil a striker up top who can make runs paired with Theo and another quick winger, he would instantly go back to his Real Madrid form. What frustrates me most with Giroud is his inability to make a good run, Theo's absence only makes it worse.

Santi is a fine player to have as he's willing to defensive work and is creative enough to unlock a defense. We need a runner to open up space. I don't care if its Gervinho. But we need that so much.

What's Di Maria up to these days? Pedro?

Would we have a shot with Reus?

i would guess reus would be out of our price range and he is being linked with man u. havent heard much on pedro but i would love for the Di Maria rumours to gain some steam again

di maria has enjoyed a renaissance at Real playing in a midfield 3 of a 4-3-3. seriously doubt he goes as he's having a very good year.

pedro doesn't seem like it could happen unless barca's transfer ban is overturned. they can't jettison useful depth without bringing in replacements.

i think reus will be in dortmund for a long time, but he does have a release clause that is triggered next year. dortmund hasn't seemed keen on selling players in advance of them being able to leave though, so seems very, very unlikely. plus, manU could pay more if he's available.

Another image of the home kit for next year has been leaked.

I don't mind the odd extra white that goes to the collar. It's a different touch that could grow on me. I wish they wouldn't have added the unnecessary white piping on the torso.

I really hope their fan gear is up to snuff. I always liked the t-shirts and stuff I bought from Nike for Arsenal.

I hope they can at least make Wenger a down coat with a working zipper.

We can't blame it on Wenger because that would admit we've left our fate to a man who can't zip up his own coat.
