Reports that we have signed PSG's goalkeeping coach. Looks like we will sign either Leno or Rico in goal. With Lichtsteiner and the Greek CB from Dortmundt coming into the defence, it seems Emery is fully aware of the defensive deficiencies he has inherited. I expect another CB and at least one DM.
I am looking forward to seeing a properly set out defence next season.
It still amazes me that in the first decade of Wenger's time at he club, the keeper, defence and defensive midfeild was top notch. In the second half of his time at the club, the keepers, defence and defensive midfield was dire. Was he simply lucky or did something change?
The worst back four and keeper during Wenger's second decade at the club:
Almunia
Jenkinson Squillaci Cygan Santos.

He also signed: Senderos, Stepanovs, Luzny, Vivas, Chambers, Richard Wright, etc.

No Disrespect to AW but he inherited a solid backline from the George Graham era. There were some gret players in that back 5.

For some reason it annoys me when people say he inherited a back line like he wasn't capable of getting good defenders. Remember the invincible was not from George grahams back line. Regardless leics is right let's just let it go the guys gone.

The George/ Arsene combination saw us at our best and now hopefully the Arsene/ Emery combination will work equally well.
Arsene kept the best of George and improved the creativity and attack to previousally unknown level to any of us, now Emery comes into an abundance of attacking wealth but next to nothing at the other end.
If Emery can restore the ballance we could be in for some good times ahead.
