I'm still surprised that Wenger hasn't found that "exceptional player" which will strengthen our squad.
Common man, for all the respect I have for Wenger!,
The list of players below can all jump into the first eleven:
Lars bender
Pedro
Falcao
Schneiderlin
Vidal
Benzema
Jackson Martinez
Mandzukic
Marchisio
Moutinho
Why doesn't he sign of those players?
We clearly need new players.
If Wenger had a squad of Real Madrid of 2012-13 he wouldn't even consider buying new players. But they sold ozil and brought bale and booom, won the champions league.
Same can be said for barca, bought Suarez sold Sanchez and boom won the treble.
I mean, till now there were financial constraints, but now? Now what?
Why doesn't he sign top players man, common I'm sick of hearing other clubs buying.
We clearly need a new striker and DM.
Otherwise we would again end up in top 4 and this time around may not even win the Fa cup.

{Ed002's Note - It doesn't work like that of course.}

Mandzukic is not better than welbeck let alone giroud there's a reason athletico didn't even want him one of the most overated players in the world, and half the players you've listed are attacking midfielders which unless we can sign fekir there is no point in getting

Some of the players already signed for other clubs, but guys you get my point here right?
We've signed 2 world class players when we needed to in the past 2 years.
But when we've a good squad why not add to it?
Yes we've a great squad, but even a title winning team needs new blood.
We desperately need a striker.

{Ed025's Note - i agree mate..

Pedro Martinez marchisio mandzukic falcao and moutinho I wouldn't put ahead of what we already have. Lars bender no because he's not a proper cm so wouldn't be replacing coq.. so really I'm not sure I agree.

Think it's a case of the grass is apparently always greener ...

There's Benzema on that list that's it! And apart from that other possible available choices are lacazette or aubameyang for CF.

Other areas;
Def: Laporte , ottomendhi, gaya or rodriquez
Mid: krychowiak , benders, javi Martinez , reus

Obviously not all of them and only some would be for first team others to obviously fight for possition. but I would be happy with any from that list

Im stll baffled by this obsession to get a WC strker , its no good hoping you win 6-5 every week ( yes exxagerated ) but you get my drift, we have an absolute abundance of attacking talent, we need to strengthen up when we haven't got the ball.

If the opposing team get 'nil' we won't lose many will we :)

M City out scored everyone in the PL and ended up with what?

To me, the only available strikers that would improve us are Benzema and Lewandowski. The only DMs that would improve us are Martinez and Carvalho (as first teamers). Otherwise we just need a backup option, whether internal or external I have no clue.

Face it; the market is just empty. Wenger's best bet is probably Theo and Hayden, unless we get one of those mentioned.

Interesting question why do people link big signings with big prices. If we paid 30m for Cech would people then consider it a marquee signing because of price. Genuine question that. I feel right now we are wanting a big signing not needing one. But that's just my opinion I totally see where people are coming from

i see both sides of the argument. When we were one of the best teams in Europe we had a world class player in pretty much every area. That was partly luck as well as good scouting.

Wenger has to buy according to the system that he has built, I agree we need somebody who can bang in 25 plus goals in the league, although who is available that can do that as well as create assists?

Although still just an opinion, I do believe the crux of the argument about getting a top, top player in the striker's role would be whether it is worth the risk of spending big on a player who could possibly be better than what we have - no guarantees obviously 'cause a lot of the ones being listed have never played in the PL and will need due time to form an understanding with our boys (I'm looking at Ozil and his out-of-nothing sneak passes) OR we stick with the personnel we have now who possess the capacity to break through into that WC barrier - Walcott, Welbz and an ever-improving Giroud are not as terrible as some see them - and capitalise on the near-psychic connections they have formed over the last 2-3 years.

A truly top %1er like Benzema or Lewa might be worth a punt at an agreeable price, but Mandzukic and Moutinho just do not cut it for me. The Community shield game should be the best indicator whether this team is ready as it stands. Best if we wait for that game rather than start moaning.

We beat city last year and finished below them. The game means nothing
