Striker, CM, CB, full back +?

Replacement for Sagna, GK, striker that doesn't need 10 attempts to get a goal, DM

No idea why we didnt get Lloris. He went to Spurs on the cheap & they still pick Friedel half the time...

Rooney? If theyre charging £40m as rumoured i reckon theres better strikers out there for that money.

There are better strikers, i reckon if United get £35m for him they'll be chuffed. He's 28 now, they'll be able to pick up a younger striker for much less imo

Rooney will be playing for Chelsea next season

I reckon PSG but then i cant really see him with a non-english team. I cant see chelsea loaning out lukaku again so i doubt theyd sign rooney

I think Lukaku would really benefit from another year on loan.

Then again I am a baggies fan so I'm pretty biased on this matter.

i dont really rate jovetic tbh

Oh believe me you will. He's amazing when fit. Not necessarily the player Arsenal needs right now though with other capable attacking midfielders already in the squad.

A lot of rumours about Higuain, not convinced by him either but an improvment on Giroud

higuains going to juve i reckon.

Yeah we have lost key players, but its also partly cos we have let them go as have got great returns for them money wise. There has been no money worth speaking about to spend as we have paid for Emirates, but that has literally just been cleared, coupled with new TV deals AND brand new 150m sponsorship deal, arsenal will definitely be investing heavily this off season. our squad with 70m or even 50m investment will compete
arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in england, 2nd biggest and newest stadium, established worldwide fan base, fourth most valuable football club in the world, most consecutive champ league qualifications in europe, one of the most respected managers in world football, the premier league's best ever squad in the last 10 years.....
you're having a laugh if you think big players would rather go to some soulless stnuc like city with no heritage in the modern era just because they won a championship. If we show serious signs of investment this summer, we'll get whoever we want within reason

Are you SERIOUSLY honestly saying Arsenal can compete even with United/City/Chelsea for the biggest names, never mind the likes of Bayern/PSG/Barca/Real?

Even assuming they could/would offer the same sort of money as the above (they can't/wont) there still wouldn't be many of the biggest players who would pick Arsenal. All that stuff you said to highlight how huge a club Arsenal is, while relevant, only really stands to highlight how little Arsenal have won in the last few years. If Arsenal were successful, you wouldn't be telling me about how they're the world's 4th most valuable club, or how they had the best squad a decade ago, you'd be telling me about all the trophies they won. That lack of success is the biggest reason players wont want to go.

The biggest names floating around this summer will be the likes of Cavani, Falcao etc. If you honestly think Arsenal will be in the running for that calibre of player, especially considering your recent signings, considering Champion's League qualification isn't even a given right now and frankly, considering that most footballers are money hungry arseholes, You are massively deluded. Do you really think Falcao gives a shit how new your stadium is? Or how many times Arsenal have qualified for the champion's league? Does he fuck.

I feel that I should add the caveat here that I really like Arsenal as a football club, I think they're brilliantly run, and they're set up well for the future. But right now, they are MILES off the top. Most Arsenal fans I know will agree with that too.
