AW said he's gonna' buy after the udinese game. During this second leg, I can safely say that although not all individual performances were satisfactory, most of our players stepped up individually. So now the qn ill post is, which positions should we buy in? And who do you think we should buy?

Zarate from Lazio.  I remember 4 years ago he was tearing defence apart in premier league

Oh man I really don't know. It could be anyone really! I think it could be MM really soon cause he said he would welcome a move to Arsenal if we made the champions league and I think CB but who know's really all I know is the fact that wenger acknowledged that we need signings means that we're gonna' be in the market maybe he's on it as we speak

Edit: and he is on the market as we speak

The positions' That we should look at are LB(non of our current LB's have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that we can trust them), CF(we don't have a quality striker after RVP), and most importantly CM since we will keep playing with the 4-3-3. Who we should get is a tough one. Arsene could get anyone realy especialy with all the funds generated from recent sales and qualification for UCL. I wouldn't be suprised if we get one big name and two unknown players who will all perform

We need a CB and one or two midfielders and a another proven striker, someone like Darren Bent who will sit in the opponents box and poach goals as Bedtner and Chamakh are really unreliable. We do not have a lot of time left though

Positions I feel we need to buy:
CF
CM(attacking)
LB

Positions I think AW will buy:
CM
Maybe DM(I'm not quite sure why)

I think the most important is that CM position that fab used to fill, that creative midfielder. Ramsey's great, but at the moment, I don't think he is ready. Furthermore, the way I see it, he prefers to sit back and spray the passes, not run and move and pass at the same time, alil diff from fab in playing style. Not saying he can't do it, i've seen him do it, the second udinese leg was an example, but at times he just seems to prefer playing deeper. Aside from that, sometimes he also vanishes from the game. As a CM(central and also creative midfielder), he will have to act as the playmaker and has to be involved in most of the plays. Therefore I think he is not ready.

Transfer rumours of players in that position:
Kaka
I honestly think that kaka would be a damn great signing for us. YES, he gets injured alot and YES he's far past his prime. And he also has not played in the EPL. However, I think he has a great great amount of experience and can still strike a ball pretty well. His experience, maturity, mindset and leadership can really help the team alot. He is also out of favour in RM.

However, I don't think he will come cheap. Maybe a bid of 18m or so? I'm not sure. Aaaand, will he want to come to a 'smaller' club who will pay him less?

Arteta
Have been linked with arsenal last season. I honestly think he would be a great signing as well. Older, more experienced, played in epl, leadership skills. Only thing is he get injured often too

ZARATE IS WAAAY BETTER than NASRI. And CECS PUT TOGETHER

At the moment, it doesn't matter where, as long as the player will add quality and depth to the team, because we're just a bit short everywhere. I definitely think we need a creative midfielder foremost though, since we lost our best 2 in Nasri and Cesc

As most of you know Arsene Wenger said he was interested in bringing in 3 players at most:


Link: www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-i-d-like-...

1/3 is complete with PCY signing for us most likely very soon but the real question who are the other two? My guess M'vila and a Defender but really its gonna' be like the PCY deal and come out of no where imo I think I like Wenger's new no holds bar transfer style

Wenger said 3 signings....

1/3 is complete (park chun young)

Other 2

Pretty sure the second one is gonna' be gary cahill. Having a low bid already denied wenger might look to increase the offer by a couple more million.

We made a bid for m'villa and a few websites already said it was aproved by Rennes.

Theres your 3.

But we have been linked with sooo many more players I'm gonna' list them from what I think the likeness of signing this players will be:

1. Marvin martin
2. Eden hazard
3. Mikel arteta
4. Jadson
5. Elia
6. Willian
7. Kaka (loan)
8. Zarate
9. Wesley sneijder
10. Bastian Schweinsteiger

This is goes in order of 1 being more likely, to 10 being the least likely

That leaves whooole bunch of players we

Well we'll keep this transfer thing open till the last day. We've signed Andre Santos now and it looks like that LB signing seems to be have solved for the time being.

If all goes according to plan our signings so far are PCY and Andre Santos with Alex and Yossi coming up on our radar along with an unknown player. That's the latest

Gary Cahill, Scott Dann, Andre Santos, Park Chu Young, Xherdan Shaqiri, Marvin Martin, Yann M'Vila, Eljero Elia, Yossi Benayoun!

Gary Cahill - ended up interest, Tottenham in talks with Bolton
Scott Dann -? Unknown situation
Andre Santos - DEAL DONE
Park Chu Young - SIGNED
Xherdan Shaqiri - no news yet
Marvin Martin - Negotiations ongoing
Yann M'Vila - Negotiations ongoing
Eljero Elia - apparently on the verge of signing with Juventus (he's in Torin)
Yossi Benayoun - to be used as part of the deal for Chelsea to get Meireles
