I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with signings, does anyone have an interest in a) our current players or b) our younger players. Granted, another signing would probably put as a little closer to the title, but half the players mentioned on this site are not going to better than what we already have. Has anyone seen what happens to the clubs that always spend without thinking, and how much of this money is wasted. I feel we could win the league with our current squad and perhaps another signing would help, but surely we have to think about departures too! I just wish some others could think beyond additions in every facet of this team, and appreciate the quality we already have.

I don't think anyone would argue if we replaced Walcott/Wellbeck with Benzema and Arteta/Flamini with someone like one of the Bender brothers. That would certainly be a step in the right direction and its the sort of decisive approach that Mourinho did at Chelsea that helped them win the title. So yes, I can see why people are obsessed with signings.

I don't think is a case of not appreciating what we have, but the bar has been raised over the last 2 seasons and AW keeps saying we are in a great financial position.
I believe our squad is great however the fact remains that this squad did not win the league last season, did not finish second, so to believe that it is now good enough is being a bit naive. Yes if we play to the best we can and others don't then we are indeed good enough, however if every team plays to their top then we are maybe 1/2 players away.
cover/competition for le coq is the absolute key.. i know people are saying arteta and co are good enough to cover in league cup or against Norwich ect, but what happens if he is injured or suspended for the utd/City/Chelsea games? the cover is not there.
I am not saying replace him but suitable competition is required.
after that the icing would be that clinical striker that we all crave IMO.
having said all of that I am extremely excited about the season and really am only concerned about Chelsea.
