The Wish List

[Dutch D]

Goalkeeper
Szczesny
Fabianski

Defense
New Right-Back
Jenkinson
New Centre-Back
Mertesacker
Koscielny
Miquel
Gibbs
Monreal

Out: Sagna / Vermaelen / Squillaci / Santos / Djourou
In: RB / CB

Midfield
Arteta
Ramsey
Fabregas
Rosicky
Bender
Wilshere
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Cazorla

Out: Coquelin / Diaby / Frimpong / Denilson
In: Bender, Fabregas

Offense
Walcott
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Striker
Giroud
Cazorla
Podolski

Out: Gervinho / Park / Bendtner / Chamakh / Miyaichi / Arshavin
In: Striker
Loan: Campbell

Alternatively, swap Fabregas with a class winger and Cazorla becomes main Attacking Midfielder.

I'm not sure who to get for the positions. Striker I guess could be Villa or Higuain, but further I don't know. Goalkeeper could be a possibility as well.

5 or 6 signings, and getting rid of about 15 players. Should be doable.

[MutableEarth]

If there is a striker that I personally want Arsène Wenger to sign, it would be Jackson Martinez. Big fan.

 

[DontPushMe]

I don't believe Fab will come back, but since this is wish list...

In:
Jovetic £22M
Grenier £12M
Sanogo £500k
Bender £12M
Cesar £3M
Fabregas £15 (plus relieving their debt to us)

64.5

Out:
Arshavin 0
Denilson 0
Flappy 0
Park 0 (given away/loan)
Chamakh (given away/loan)
Santos (given away/loan)

For me, this team can challenge for honours:
Szczesny/Cesar
Sagna/Jenk-Kos-Mert-Gibbs
Bender-Wilshere
Fabregas
Walcott-Jovetic-Cazorla

A more realistic (but still unreal) scenario drops Fabregas

 

[Vela]

Rooney but it will never happen.

 

[Hunta]

The FA should fund a move for Rooney, get him and Wilshere playing together so they are ready for he world cup, useless feckers. :wink:

That'll be good.
Rooney, Wilshere, Gibbs, Walcott and Chamberlain all Arsenal and England.
We haven't had that many England internationals since the Graham era.

Cesar
Sagna Kos Mertesacker Gibbs
Arteta- Wilshere

Walcott Cazorla
Rooney
Villa

Cesar
Sagna Kos Mertesacker Gibbs
Arteta- Wilshere

Walcott Cazorla
Rooney
Villa

That front 6 is way too short (and with the exception of Walcott, slow).

 

[cannonade]

Cesar
Sagna Kos Mertesacker Gibbs
Arteta- Wilshere

Walcott Cazorla
Rooney
Villa

That front 6 is way too short (and with the exception of Walcott, slow).

Of all these the only likely signing is Cesar (which I would be happy with). Only time will tell how we fill in the squad gaps this summer.

 

[Anzac]

Shrek & Fellaini?
2 quality PL players in their prime that directly address team issues = Happy Days.

 

[Sydney Gooner]

The shake up in the reserves continues apparently we're after some Ghanaian kid called Iwann Adoyou.

Dat spine. :woot

 

[fabo]

Fellaini and Higuain are realistic and ambitious.

I'd even take Cesar now as I'm desperate for another keeper to come in.

We're not buying any starting defenders so I'd take a squad option in that area.

 

[Giroud]

What do people think of Soldado?

 

[Wouterus]

I think Soldado is class. Would rather Higuain but I would be happy with Soldado too.

 

[FinnGooner]

I'd be happy with Soldado. Suberb finisher and makes really intelligent runs. He would definitely bring a completely different option for us compared to Giroud. Higuain or Soldado would be the best options for me, after the obvious ones (Cavani, Rooney and Lewandowski)

 

[ArseGod]

Wanyana
Fellaini
Grenier
Higuain
Ginter
Cesar
Corchia

 

[Floating]

Higuain, Jovetic, Fellaini, Danilo.

[Pea-Tear-Griffin]

Danillo is a good choice. Him or Juanfran would be good in my opinion.

 

[truth_hurts]

Fellaini is straight in at the top of my wishlist, even more than Cesc and equally as unrealistic. Sagna also stays unless we can get Micah Richards who can do a great job as RB and 4th choice CB. If we sold Gervinho we should bring in Abuemyang.

In: Cesar 4m, Williams 8m, Fellaini 24m, Higuain 20m

Out: Fabianski 0, Vermaelen 12m, Djourou 4m, Frimpong 2m, Chamakh 2m, Park 2m, Bendtner 4m

Net spend of 30m we lose players who never really lived up to their potential and gain 3 players who have proven to be premier league experienced players who are too good for their current team and an out and out goalscorer, with world cup pedigree who will be hungry to prove his worth.
