For this season to be realistic title contenders we need to sign three players, one of which is a goalkeeper, obviously we have Cech and that is a truly great signing. However we still beer a CDM and a striker, you may all say what about Coquelin's form, and yes he has been excellent recently. But, what if he gets an injury on our game after the transfer window closes, go back to Flamini and Arteta? Take Chelsea for example, even though many of you may disagree they're squad and signings recently have been very good. They needed a striker, they got Costa, they needed a CM and they went out and signed Fabregas. Not to mention Matic and recalling Courtouis. If we sign say Schneiderlin for example that's two very good CDM's, Chelsea have Ramires and Matic. You may not like being compared to Chelsea but at the moment they are the top dogs and we need to aim to match or better them this season.

Getting onto the striker issue, Giroud is a player who can get 10-15 goals a season, but sometimes we need someone alternative to play someone can make those runs in behind because Sanchez can't do it all himself. And yes, Theo player very well against West Brom and Aston Villa, but can he do it against Man City, Chelsea? I know he has had the injury and we haven't seen whether he can do it now, we shouldn't wait to find out. A perfect striker signing for me would be Benzema, a more realistic signing would be Lacazette, who does look like a player. My point is if we can sign another striker or a CDM and we are financially backed to do sign Scheniderlin or Lacazette, why shouldn't we? They would turn our team into real title contenders.

Thanks for reading.

Giroud only capable of 10-15?? He's proved that he's capable of scoring 20-30 if he stays fit. Also don't understand people saying we're back to flamini/arteta if coquelin gets injured. For me wilsheres well capable of playing the holding role he does for England against smaller teams. Also people are forgetting about chambers who wenger himself has said he sees a long term future in as a midfielder. So that's 1 quality and 2 other decent holding midfield options before We're down to flamini-arteta.

Spot on.
Keeper: Cech - Great signing
DM: Schneiderlin or Vidal
S: I would try & sign Di Maria to play wide and use Theo more often as a striker. He looked awesome at the end of the season when played in this role.

I would sell/release: Ospina (a great 2nd choice keeper, who I feel sorry for as he performed well for us, but Szczesny has the advantage of being taller, younger & 'homegrown'). Flamini. Arteta. Campbell. Sanogo (on loan, to see if he improves as he matures, in a similar fashion to Coquelin).

Totally agree. Schneiderlin and Benzema and we will be very good.
