The Wish List

[mavelous]

aye, those two are ready made for our style and would add almost assuredly increase our overall quality. but ganso has higher ceiling, it's like buying treasury bond vs. a volatile corporate bond :mrgreen:

ganso, i don't know what's with him. on the one hand, i like that he knows he's quality, but maybe too much.. when i first saw him, i immediately though pastore, but the argie has been here longer and is much better adapted to european football. obviously more experienced.

and ganso's first touch is a bit unorthodox, it usually works for him, but i don't know how he would adapt to lack of space. he might completely get shattered in all senses of the word, or he would zidane the **** out of this league. i know wenger wants him for some reason - must have an idea of how to utilize him best, but i don't think he's worth the risk, or the best value for money atm.

[truth_hurts]

M'Villa and Cazorla and that is Flamini (never rated him that much though) and Cesc replaced finally and some genuine depth in our squad. Also need Theo to stay.

Has Sahin ever played that forward midfield role - always thought he was a deep playmaker?
Perhaps swap him & Arteta?
Add M'Vila instead of Song and we're cooking with gas!!!!!

 

[Flow]

Giroud, Podolski, Sahin, Cazorla and Robin stays.

That would be by far the best summer we ever had, hell we would end the trophy drought for sure.

-------RVP--Podolski
Oxlade-Arteta-Sahin-Cazorla
Gibbs--Verms--Boss--Sagna
----------Szczesny

Bench: Fabianski, Santos, Mertesacker, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Giroud

[Anzac]

Assuming both RVP & Walcott depart:

Ganso / Cazorla / Dzagoev / Isco
Sahin / Valero
M'Vila / Biglia / Soriano / Wanyama / Kayal
Sakho
Milo
RB
Butland

............Podolski/Giroud
Cazorla/Gervinho.....Ganso/Wilshere.......Dzagoev/Ox
........Sahin/Arteta....M'Vila/Song
Milo/Gibbs....TV/Sakho..Kos/Mert...Sagna/XXX
.............Szczesny/Butland

i think it would be a pretty fluid midfield three. i think he should operate centrally. of course if van persie stays, we could play this


----- Arteta ----- Sahin -------

----------- Cazorla -----------

---- Walcott -------- Podolski -

------------- RvP -------------

 

[musicmonkey]

I'd rather have Debuchy, £4m to Newcastle has been floating around in the papers but it seems to have broken down. One of the most impressive defenders at the Euros for me.

My Wish List

Nuri Sahin

Santi Cazorla

Javi Martinez

Leighton Baines

Gregory Van Der Wiel

 

[Hunta]

Team against Sunderland:

-----------------Szczesny
--Coquelin-Koscielny-Vermaelen-Gibbs
---------Cazorla--Song--Arteta
--Gervinho-------Giroud-------Podolski

SUBS: Fabianski, Santos, Per, Sahin, Diaby, Ox, Walcott.

Team against Sunderland:

-----------------Szczesny
--Coquelin-Koscielny-Vermaelen-Gibbs
---------Cazorla--Song--Arteta
--Gervinho-------Giroud-------Podolski

SUBS: Fabianski, Santos, Per, Sahin, Diaby, Ox, Walcott.

I think I'd go with Theo ahead of Gervinho in the early games because he's more of a goal threat. I'm a little worried that there'll be too much pressure of Podolski and Giroud to open their Arsenal accounts quickly. Thats if Walcott is still here by then. Maybe even start Gerv and Walcott wide with one of the new pair at CF.

 

[Hunta]

Yeah, maybe drop Giroud, play Podolski central and Walcott/Ox wide. I do think Gervinho will start because of his form in pre-season so far.

 

[Yaya]

Would have van Persie over Giroud (if he's still at the club by this point), to try force other clubs into making some serious offer.

 

[fabo]

Desperately hoping we get Sahin and Cazorla, both are absolutely needed.

Underwhelmed with the outgoings too, not good enough at this stage.

 

[qs]

The players we want rid of aren't really the sort people take as first choice, we'll probably have to wait for later in the window.

 

[Impact]

Thoughts on Swansea's Neil Taylor?

 

[jones]

Saw him two or three times for Swansea, looked average to alright for me.

Disturbing to read his name in the wish list thread though

Remember Leighton Baines started off as a promising full back at a newly promoted club (Wigan) before Everton took a chance on his ability.

I haven't seen him that much of him admittedly but he has impressed everytime I have. I think he's one to keep tabs on.

Baines isn't "young" any more, though. Will be 28 in December!

I don't understand your point?
