Firstly arsenal need to bring in a defender and (vertoghen, cahill, zapata maybe sakho) secondly sell fabregas as he wants to go and mean can push nasri into the middle. if it was me id get mascherano in exchange to add competition for song. or if he went madrid which is unlikely diarra or benzema. personally i don't get why wenger didn't try go for sahin from dortmund. would of being a great signing and only cost madrid around £7 million. other players linked hazard, parker, gervinho, chamberlain, hulk.

Arsenal set to sign someone, there is a lot of talk about representatives going to Italy, I know Zapata and Melo have been linked last year as has Mexes.

Lets hope its not another 15 year old wonder kid

We could do a lot worse than look at Guissepe Rossi IMO. He's done a lot more in La Liga than that stroppy twonk Benzema.

Wenger will buy Eden Hazard for 20 million, he will play great football for 3-5 years and leave for real madrid for a reasonable profit. This is how Wenger works, buy young develop sell on.

Here is what i think will unfold over the summer. This is only based on what i have read and on our previous history in the transfer market:

Cesc will leave, deal to be thrashed out with barca after the champions league final. £45 No replacement bought as Nasri will move central.

The replacement will be for Nasri. I would like to see Hazard and its a possability. More likley it will be affelly as a part of the cesc deal.

Vertonghen seems like an AW buy young good has experience. Has played with TV at ajax so should settle quite well. Can also play DM?

I can't see us bringing in to many big names so i think there will be only one more first team player. Either a DM or a ST. I can't see us getting benzema its just not AW stlye although i think it would be a great move. RVP can play in behind or along side and we can have the ability to play 442 when we think we need it.

DM i would love to see diarra come back we should never have let him go. more likely it will bea promotion from the reserves.

Thought?

I wish we could sell Cesc to City, if he is going to go anyway why not sell him to the highest bidder, £50- 70 mill would be much better for us than £35 million.

Before you start, I know the player has to agree also and that's why he will go to Barca for less!

And I would rather he stayed, I don't think we can replace him but Gourcuff could fill the gap!

Mong out!

Ike,

I agree with most of that. I do think he tried to buy a defender in January though, but we all know it's not easy getting players at that time of year. There's no way Dortmund were going to sell Subotic for instance, when they were top of the league.

Guardiola might be available next summer. If Chelsea and Inter keep their mitts off this season, Villas Boas might still be an option too. If it's the same old turgid carp next year then get one of those guys in to freshen the place up.

I rekon based on some of the rumours we have seen so far. .

In:
Given or some older goalie (help develop Szczesny)
Jagielka or Samba along with Jan Vertonghen
Scott Parker although unlikely if Chelsea want him
Chamberlain and
Benzema, but more likely going to be Gameiro in the striking department unless Wenger actually forks out some serious cash for an awesome player

Out:
Alumnia
Squillaci
Denilson
Bendtner
Rosicky

Unsure about Arshavin, Fab and Clichy

Personally would love to see

Starting:
Szczesny
Jagielka Sagna Vermaelen Vertonghen
Walcott Wilshere Nasri Chamberlain
RVP Benzema

Bench: Given Koscielny Djourou Ramsey Parker Arshavin Chamakh

Wenger's not guaranteed to make any signings- he solidly believes Walcott will be the next Henry (with good reason), that attacking midfield is Nasri/Ramsey in the future, that defensive midfield is Song/Wilshere/Frimpong, and CB is Verm/DJ.

If Wenger makes signings, he may go for a near-retirement class keeper on the cheap, but it seems that's not a priority area. Centre back seems priority and could be Jag, Samba, or an outside possibility of Sakho.

Midfield will see a bid for Parker when west ham drop, I believe, although other clubs are certainly interested as well. Won't be a really long term option as he believes Frimpong will be ready in 2-ish seasons. Outside possibility, however, of Rodwell with a possible player exchange.

Winger seems set to be Chamberlain, as Hazard is on RM's wish list. Striker will be Benzema if Fab goes, I believe, and Gameiro if he does not. Don't expect more than 3 signings at all, though.

Edd do you know if arsenal are intrested in kevin gramerio {Ed001's Note - not 100%, his team has been watched, Lorient, and it seems likely it was Gameiro being watched.}

You don't think it may have been Coquelin being monitored? {Ed002's Note - Coquelin would be watched regularly regardless and an extended loan could provide leverage in negotiations for Gramerio (just an unsubstantiated thought).}

@Editor I have heard talk of Arsenal doing business for Fabregas at £30 million plus Mascherano, your opinion? {Ed001's Note - it would be great business for Arsenal I think, Mascherano would provide the steel that is missing. The problem would be that he is a mercenary and has the potential to throw his toys out of his pram when things aren't going well.}
