Central defence and midfield are obviously the key positions, but who could we realistically expect to sign at this late time?
There's not exactly pages and pages of them.

IMO it's too late in the transfer window now, who in their right minds is going to let their best players go now? Wenger fed us BS (which some bought) about waiting periods and guess what...nothing materialised except selling two of our best players late one and maybe signing some Korean nobody.
Realistically we'd have to put some big bids in to get top players (probably pay over the odds because we wouldn't give the team we're buying from time to sign anyone they'd necessarily want), we know we won't do that though...Wenger is a cheap f*cker...he's already starting to roll out the excuses even after an 8-2 defeat.
Who would I like, a decent CB or two (Cahill, Jagielka, Samba), a tough tackling midfielder (Toualan), a finisher (Benzema) maybe) and maybe a more experienced creative player (Hazard, Ribery etc).
Who will we end up with, probably some cheap nobody noone wants.
Hmm, realistic?
Parker, Bellamy, Samba, Cahill and Arteta.
None of them necessarily ideal choices, but all available and all would improve our squad.
Sorry, there's absolutely no fucking excuse for Wenger not getting some new faces.
I also think we need to sign Keown and Campbell as coaches: some heads should roll after today.
I'd get God but Wenger thinks Djourou can be as good as him so we stand no chances.
I personally think we've left it too late, I'm not even that confident of getting Cahill & M'Vila. Basically we'd need to overpay to get anybody half decent and we all know that Arsenal won't overpay for anybody.
We'll sign Young, try to get Cahill at a bargain basement price in the 11th hour and will most likely fail. And that is most likely the extent of our ambitions in the transfer market.
