Dempsey for sure. No brainer.
Proven PL player. Pod could be another Chamakh for all we know.

43 goals in 95 apps. Pretty impressive until you realise he's only scored against poor sides like Thailand, San Marino, Liechtenstein and England.
I like Dempsey, he has a little bit of arseyness about him, a real fighter. Like Arteta he's not young but he's had loads of EPL experience, and coming from a team where they have to graft for every point he already has a good work ethic. Scores goals, plays in various positions. He'd be a sound purchase (and further proof that the buying policy has changed tack).
Poldo is more of a gamble. He could turn out to be super quality (but not super super quality). I doubt we'd get both unless both Arshavina nd Schmack leave.

Word on the street is: Shitmak is on his way back to bordeux come the summer.
Wenger won't make a move for Dempsey. No chance of it happening.
I'd prefer Podolski too as he seems a bit more versatile - and will probably play out wide if Van Persie stays.
Dempsey would be good but I think there are other areas to spend cash on first. Oxlade and Wilshere (if not broken) might have the ACM position pinned down in Arsene's eyes.
