The main focus of this post is to find out who you guys think that we should sign in the summer. We know that Wenger is closing in on Lukas Podolski from FC Koln, but I am unsure as to where we go from there. If I was Wenger I would look very closely at signing a world-class attacking midfielder - somebody like Mario Gotze. The club should be able to generate at least a little bit of money if we sell Bendtner, Chamakh and Vela, so let us just hope that it gets put to good use!

I would argue that defensively we are very much sorted. Vermaelen, Koscielny and Mertesacker are all great centre-backs (Djourou offers good cover) and Sagna is outstanding. We are yet to see enough from Santos because of his injury, but I think that Gibbs has a lot of potential.

Too late

Also by what measuring stick can people state that this Goat kid is world class?

I don't think we need a lot. We need a striker, but Wenger looks to be sorting that.

Some creativity in midfield wouldn't go amiss. Goetze might provide that, but I honestly don't know a lot about him.

Plus, with Jack back and The Ox coming good, we have a very strong squad. Lots to be happy about at the moment.

two strikers and a cb at least. we'll be lucky if we get more than one of note in though.

We could just use Podolski, Campbell and Bartley for that

We don't need a CB. Not really.

Agreed. We have 6 for pity's sake although knowing Wenger he will sell Bartley, loan out Miguel and then we will get 2 injuries
