Chris Samba (proper CB, threatening bastard who also provides a goal threat)
Gervinho (Quick and active winger who doubles as a forward, ala Henry?)
Blaise Matuidi (Provides competitiveness in the middle of the pitch and pushes Song)
Oxlade-Chamberlain (Another proper winger rather than a CM pushed out wide)
Jenkinson (Eboue's replacement but adds depth at CB rather than RW)
"Proper Striker TBC" (I think this is a critical transfer, Van Persie is an ideal second striker, we need a proper top guy)
I think also that in Cesc, Nasri, Wilshere, Arshavin, Ramsey you have 5 creative CM's and would prefer to keep them all. If one HAS to go, let it be Arshavin as he's the fattest. I'm not sure what to do with Clichy. I think pastures new would do wonders for him and improve our pasture as well. We're rumoured to be sniffing around Milosevic so he might be seen as a replacement. Gibbs is too injury prone and not good enough to rely on for a season.
It may all be a pipe dream but that sort of transfer season would get my hopes up a bit for next season.
