Bearing in mind the following players are likely to depart, who would you suggest we try to sign? Fabianski, Vivianno, Sagna, Vermaelen & Bendtner.
I would like the following:

Richards - to replace Sagna & cover at CB.
Lescott - An underrated player.
Pogba - awesome player, just what we need.
Draxler - ideal for us.
Van Persie - Would provide goals. Giroud has performed well, but doesn't create anything out of nothing & considering the ammunition he is provided with, doesn't score enough.
Goalkeeper-wise I'm not certain, ideally I would like Fabianski to stay, as he has finally matured and looks excellent.

The GK who I would love to have back is Don Vito Mannone

Sagna to be given new contract cover right back and 4th CB

Richards (13m) RB/CB - Replace Tommy V

Draxler (35m) LW/SS

Costa/Balotelli/Van Persie (40/25M/12m) CF

Kroos/Mauldti/Bender free/free/20m DM after

Casillas GK (5m) if available, for a reasonable fee

We could get Richards/Draxler/Kroos/van Persie/Casillis for under 60mill, a very big outlay but worth it. if we could sell Tommy V for 8 - 10 along with Mikel for 3 along with a few squad players.

I would however prefer we don't sign Van P but we do need a world class CF and if we sign Draxler I can't see how we would also be able to afford Costa or Balotelli or any other World class forward

I would rather we don't sign Draxler and signed Costa/Baletelli or Martinez instead if we had to choice between him and a world class forward.

How can you wish for RVP back? Where's your dignity and self-respect?

4.) 20 Feb 2014
Under 60 million? If draxler is 40 mil ish, you think that you could buy, Casillas, RVP, Kroos and Richards for under 20 mil?

If it was a mistake on Kroos being available on a free then I understand.

RVP I don't feel is viable, the fans wouldn't have it and neither would he I feel. If he moves I think he will be looking to Italy.

I may be wrong, but I think his contract is up in the summer and is available for free

R91.

So it would be

35 draxler
13 Richards
15 van persie
Free kroos
5 cass

With the sell f tommy v and a few others we could bring the money out balance to around 55mill

I can dream can't i? Lol

{Ed007's Note - Kroos' contract runs until 2015.}

Robbie I was with you all the way up to HIM, swap Balotelli for he who shouldn't be allowed near our shirt ever again and you got 100% from me mate

Gunner62. I pretty much agree with most of your posts and certainly that the one who is beginning to resemble a badger rather that the skunk he actually is should never be allowed back.
However I have to disagree about Ballotelli - a shame as he has real talent - but he is just too risky. Not just that he will do something mad on the pitch but cause disruption off it. He wants the whole world to dance to his tune and I don't see him getting that at Arsenal (rightly) so he'll go off on one.

Excilled I share your concerns mate but feel if Arsene thinks he could handle him I would take him at half price with the puma money

For me it would definitely have to be a bargain- one like Yaya Sanoga would be nice price.
Still think OG will come good fairly soon, he just needs a rest from all the bashing doors down (unfortunately the wrong ones!)
