massive 6 weeks or so ahead for us. will we bring in world class players? as you all know i don't think wenger will ever win the prem title again. and flamini, arteta staying on has saddened me abit.

the arteta dressing room argument is nonsense. drop vidal in and arteta out the players would be buzzing. but he will do very well for bayern if twitter is proved right.

lets look for welbeck takers and sign a worldie sriker.

i want to be aiming for the title next year please wenger.

I hate reading the "he's good in the dressing room" rubbish, at 3 million a year I want them to be good on the pitch.
Arteta Rosicky Poldolski I've heard it said about them all, that's £10 million to keep the dressing room happy? What is it we're doing to depress our players so much that it takes a gang of on the way out players to put it right? Can't we just stop doing it and use the money to buy younger players instead.

Think you Gunners should stop worrying: eds suggesting Benzema available and I think you'll be favourites to get him.

If this happens, think you'll be Prem challengers this year - with or without Carvalho (though that Polish fella Krych... Better player, more in Matic mould)

In fact, if we get striker/CB (and City/Chelsea stay as they are), then title battle between United and Arsenal could well be the story of the season.

I totally agree. I do not think Wenger will win the EPL again. Love the guy, but I think he is a bit too soft with his players

Arteta isn't a starter, but he's a capable third choice.
He's also our captain, he speaks multiple languages and that helps players settle.

Rosicky, is like a wine, he improves with age.
They offer us depth, experience and leadership.
These are two lads who can play in the league Captial One Cup, with the youngsters, and give them some confidence.
They're valuable to the club, regardless of their age.

As for Wenger not winning the league again, 3 years ago, I may of agreed.
But he's proved he's now more aggressive, more willing to accept change and ruthless with underperfoming players.

Imagine if Szczesny had of messed up 3 years ago?
He'd still be playing.

But now, he messed up, he's out.
And his replacement, who'd probably done better than any of our keepers since Lehman is now dropped because a better player is free.

Arsene likes giroud, but I guarantee, if Benzema or someone of that ilk, becomes truly available in this window, you can bet Giroud's lost his place and we're after Karim.

We don't have a chairman pumping in money, like city or Chelsea do, so we have to be patient.
We COULD of spent £25m on Martinez, he's good, but he's 29, he's got maybe 2-3 years at his peak, and he may not even settle in England for 12 months, that'd leave us 1-2 years of him.

Benzema would be more expensive, but he's 27(off the top of my head) and that's the begging for of 'peak' for a striker, so even if it did take 12 months for him to settle, he's got 3-4 years with us.

I'm not saying we'll sign a ton of players, that's crazy, I'm predicting 3 at most, including Cech.

Be patient? as i have said i don't think we will win the league under kroenkes reign. the guys just in it for profits. FFP looked to fall for us but its gone now. cash will be spent on many many teams in europe and you either compete with that or you don't win the title.

we have the money in the bank spend it ffs. i still see at least two signings coming in though (i hope)

the bar has been raised big time and its now 2015 and not 2005.

enjoy your week guys. peace

{Ed002's Note - FFP hasn't gone.}

Not trying to stir the pot 😈 but I have to say the 'Arteta is great in the changing rooms' line does come across a bit soft, I've always thought so, not jumping on the bandwagon. The fact he's captain but can't get in the team is a bit strange too.

Agree HB. IF he is so good, they should retire him and give him a coaching role of some sort. That way he does what he does best without hindering team progress. Captains can be changed, so it is not a must that he extends his stay because he's captain. TV5, RVP, Cesc, Henry, Vieira, Gallas. All these are captains who have left us before
