Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Japan Shaking All Over]

wonder if one of those 2-3 WC players is Kaboul?

[AFC Leveller]

Kaboul, Kalou and Kalstroum on a permanent deal.

KKK tbh.

Tabloids are "suggesting" that we are in the hunt for 2-3 WC Players along with other squad Players.

If I were to dream, I would be happy if we got Balotelli, Draxler and Bender/ Pogba, sorted out Sagna's contract and perhaps get Williams if Vermaelen went.

It's hard to look at the squad and think we need anything less than that really? On my shopping list, I've got...


- A first-choice striker
- Possibly another younger striker on top of that?
- A goal-scoring winger/wide attacker (unless we find a second striker who can cover that role and this one)
- A long-term replacement for Arteta and/or Flamini in CM
- 2 or 3 defenders (in any one of several combinations of CBs and RBs, depending on what happens with Vermaelen and Sagna)
- And quite probably a GK too!

How much of that is realistic in one summer, and with a World Cup on, I don't know, but that's what I think we should be aiming for, even if it takes us 2 or 3 windows to put it all together...

You can just imagine us signing Kalou can't you, Wenger likes him he now plays in France where he's scored a few goals, won't cost too much, fits the bill perfectly.

It's doesn't bear thinking about!

Possibly another younger striker on top of that?

Joel Campbell?

[Özim]

Joel Campbell doesn't look bad, not sure he's an out and out striker though, more of a wing type.

Would quite like him back next season, did some nice things for Olympiacos against Man U.

[Marc Overmars]

If he's qualified for his work permit now then we really should have him in the squad next season. He may even do well against England at the World Cup which would increase his rep.

I'm expecting a "waiting period" this summer, especially with the World Cup.

Couple Turkish clubs after him apparently, who knows if he has a future with us, might be one of those players we sign and then never play.

Joel Campbell?

Yeah, maybe? Or someone like that Swiss lad who we were linked with the other day (Drmic?), or that Belgian lad, Batshuayi(sp?), who's name keeps coming up? Or even someone a little more experienced like Remy, if he's available at the knock-down fee that I keep seeing? I don't mind taking a punt on any of those kinds of players as a bonus striker, as long as we're looking at a real top name coming in as well...
