Was thinking the other on how I would have killed for kondogbia. The guy's class, a beast and the exact type of player we need. Not hating on Le Coq but I can't see him taking the dm position alone for the season and we're definitely a more attractive proposition than inter milan. My question is this: other than usual suspect schneiderlin( who i believe kondogbia is a better option over) who is a realistic signing we can make for the dm position?

I personally like the look of Krychowiak from Sevilla, no idea however whether a deal is possible or indeed whether we are even interested.

If arsenal wanted kondogbia they could of got him but I suppose they have someone better in their plans?

personally I think Schneiderlin is all wrong for arsenal and I would much prefer wanyama.. the great thing about le coq is that he break up play and then sits... and allows the rest to play, but is always there as a shield as he doesn't make those runs forward, if we are looking for someone to cover/compete with him for that role then we need someone who is more interested in the clean sheet rather than making an assist or scoring a goal.
Don't get me wrong I like Schneiderlin but I feel in caz/ramsey/wilshire/ox we have enough players that can play centre and create but also at times remain disciplined.

It must be that bergooner. We can't have wanted him that badly. Inter must have been best offer on the table and that's saying something

Hopefully we have a good option lined up and don't end the window with no midfield signing(also preferably signed early to have a full pre season). We don't look like we're going to get the world class CF we need so we should atleast get the our already amazing midfield fully sorted now that the goalkeeper issue is solved.

Also,has anyone here thoroughly watched the sevilla lad and can give some feedback?

Agreed browgun. I've watched some Monaco games last season and some games he was class , some games very ordinary, but I guess that comes down to his age. If we want to win the title next season we can't hoping on potential of the player but down to a world class consistent performer who delivers all season round

Krychowiak seems decent enough ( Sevilla lad) if wengers going to stick with coq we defo could do with cover for him. Maybe a good option.

The window has just opened and its early days I can see us completing a couple of significant signings
