Here's #1, there have also been rumours that Glen Johnson will join the Gunners. Who will head to the Emirates? Who do you think they should snatch up?

I think they need some hefty center backs to man their defence. Johnson would be a good signing for them, but I think they should make an effort to go after someone like Micah Richards as well

Johnson will go to chelsea or liverpool. Arsenal just signed Thomas Vermaelen from Ajax for undisclosed fee. He is a left footed centreback that could also be used as a leftback

Like most people.... I ma skeptical about this
Vermaeleen is only 6ft and honestly we showed that we need someone to be a HUGE
Central force.... Like on corners.... And although Vermaeleen does get up there and score
Its in the Dutch league.... Not exactly the Premier League

We need a tall, strong central defender....
But it is a step in the right direction
So I stil applaud Wenger

Defensemen? What the hell is defensemen? What is wrong with calling them defenders?

I guess it is the word used in American Football

It's usually used in Hockey I think.... I'm from the United States and I don't hear this too often.... Not in American Football at all

Perhaps Oguchi Oneywu (sp?). If he plays for Arsenal like he did USA, I would have no problems about signing him. Plus, he would be the first American on this squad to play for a top flight, top international club!

We really do need a strong defender. Our biggest weakness is a lack of a physical presence. We need someone step up, and be a banger for us. Oneywu could, and most likely would, \ provide that
