We will lose Gervinho and Chamakh in January for the AFCON. Wenger will probably bring a player in on loan or give someone like Gnarby a shot in the frist team.
Don't think we'll get anyone unless we are within a couple of points of top place or if we are in a fight for 4th. Neither seem likely at the moment - I suspect we'll find our comfort zone between those scenarios.
I'm not so certain about a top 4 finish anymore. We should get it, but I don't think it's going to be that easy. It's early days but Everton and Spurs might be up for the chase this year and Chelsea look like title contenders. More competition for the top spot compared to last year.
Top 4 is not something we should take for granted anymore but I still think we're the "best of the rest".
Yeah, we look decent and have had some hard games. But we should win our next 3 league games against Norwich, QPR and Reading. That should push us into the top 4.
Reading is the League Cup. We have Man Utd away after QPR.
Shit! That's a massive game. Then Spurs after Fulham.
With Chelsea strengthening and Everton not having their characteristic relegation pace start to the season, top 4 will be a tougher proposition this season. I do think it is us that are most likely to be best of rest, but it is heavily reliant on how we recover from adverse results.
So far so good imo as I don't think away at Wham would have been top of the wishlist following our result against Chelsea.

best of the rest with pretty passing but not enough firepower over the course of the season. predicting fifth for the first time. hope i'm wrong.
