Super obvious maybe, super quality no. I think if we can find some super quality signings then of course we should be interested, but otherwise we have a big squad and talented players and why should we spend money of we don't get someone better than Chamakh or Squillaci?

Nedum onuoha is better than squillaci, better than Djourou. You cannot get someone like Cahill and expect him to stay on the bench. There is no super quality out there rotting away on somebodys bench. we need a player who can fill in when required without being a catalyst for emergency room admission spike whenever he plays. Anyways Wenger aint buying, just wishing

Onuoha would have been a decent shout for me too - should have signed him Jan 1st. And just as an aside...watching Morocco right now and looking at the effort Chamakh is putting in up front and thinking why he doesn't do the same when he wears an arsenal shirt. Still not any good tho.

But we already have Squillaci and Djourou here. Squillaci is an extremely efficient defender. He was a top player when he was playing in Europe and now he shows signs he has acclimatised very well to the English game, so I expect big things of him soon. We have very high quality defenders ahead of him but we can't ask him to go backwards by signing a new defender. The same with Djourou, he is only now hitting top form and there is much more to come from him. It would kill him to bring another player in and who is to say this player would be better? Djourou has been very unlucky with injuries but he seems to be recovering full fitness now and he will be super quality when he is 100% fit.

Galatasaray announced that they have begun talks with Basel over signing Xherdan Shaqiri.

The 20-year-old has already expressed his interested in joining the Super Lig outfit and the Turkish side confirmed to the stock exchange on Monday that they had entered into negotiations with their Swiss counterparts.

"The club have officially begun talks with the professional football player Xherdan Shaqiri and FC Basel," Galatasaray revealed in a statement.

"The public will be kept informed of developments."

Galatasaray president Unal Aysal claimed last week that the club had already bid just under €10 million [£8.3m] for the winger. However, it is believed that Basel are holding out for a figure closer to €15m [£12.5m] and they also reportedly told Galatasaray that other clubs were tracking the player.

Shaqiri has already been capped 17 times by Switzerland and is considered one of the country's most exciting young talents.
