Which two three positions should we strengthen in order to advance from fighting for third and fourth to becoming real title contenders next season?


1.) 13 Mar 2015

Goalkeeper, Defensive midfielder(Coquelin alone can't do it all season) & a Center forward.

My choices would be Cech, Schneiderlien & Benzema

I like that Nam, but then, who would you sell off? Sczezney or Martinez?

In order
Keeper let Szczesney go and keep Ospina as No.2
CB to cover Gabcielny along side chambers.
LB who is stronger defensively than in attack

Gk - Sell Szenszncy and bring in Begovic, Cech, Ruffier or Forster.

Cb - Sell Mertesacker, or loan out Chambers. Bring in Papadopolus, Abdennour, Otamendi or Garay.

Cdm - Sell Flamini and Diaby. Bring in Schnierderlin, Wanyama, Kondogbia or Lars Bender.

Gk- cech, begovic, Leno, handanovic

Cb-hummels, subotic, garay, abbendour, schaar, varane

Sell Szczesny, buy Cech.
Sell Mertesacker, buy Varane.
I know we've bought Bielik, but he is (sigh...) "one for the future" so
Sell/Release Flamini and buy Kondogbia (the Kondogbia is not just due to his performance against us, although it was brilliant-check this site out up to 2 years ago, he was being touted then).

While we are at it:
Sell/Release:
* Monreal: he's been much better recently but is not Premier/Champions League winning standard and that's what we have to aspire to. Replace with Christian Fuchs from Schalke
* Arteta
* Diaby
* Wilshere - I'm sure I'll be scoffed at by many but he is too injury prone, too inconsistent and if he wasn't English I'm sure more would be willing to see him go. I want to love Jack, but fear he's peaked and that isn't enough.

To replace those 3 (2 if you discount the fact that Diaby has rarely if ever been available),
* Christian Tello on loan at Porto
* Ruben Neves from Porto

* Campbell
* Podolski
* Sanogo
* Myaichi
* Jenkinson
all currently out on loan, all can go too.

If Theo wants to stall on his new contract he can go too, not that I especially want him to.
Asanother purchase I'd go for Berahino up front, leaving us with striking options of Giroud, Wellbeck, Berahino, Akprom and Alexis. Hardly short of firepower.

I think the 3 players/positions that much more often than others don't are found wanting are
Szczesney too erratic
The big German to slow in both mind and body.
Gibbs going foward excellent but defensively no where close to the required standard to win a title.
Other positions may need strengthening but these are our biggest weakness

Szczesny must go, Martines can stay
