Parker is over rated.

He'll fit right in then. We have the largest collection of over-rated players in the league.

We should have signed Cahill in January, story was he was available at £12m but Wenger was still doing his TV will be back routine. The deal for Parker should already be in the bag, wtf are they waiting for? The last match ended hours ago, just pay whatever the asking price is and be done with it. Looks like Denilson is gone, so that's a massive plus.

Cesc is gone too so we'll have to rely on Wilshere and Ramsey to hold down that spot between them, it'll be good to have Parker sitting in behind them. I'm just a bit nervous we haven't signed him yet though. The most obvious signing in the history of all football, West Ham relegated, Arsenal need a player who gives a fuck, done deal. Or it should be.

Then either Samba or Jagielka, sell Squillaci, keep Kos as 5th choice, JD as 4th, TV as 3rd. That would be solid enough. We could also do with replacing both our fullbacks, they give us less than zero overall, Sagna is an average defender but less than useless going forward, Clichy is just useless, Gibbs is going backwards. Any old pair of FBs from the PL would be a big improvement.

Brad Friedel would do me for a GK, he's available and a good pro. Or go back for Schwarzer.

Then we need a proper professional up front to work with RvP. We'd have a spine then, in more ways than one.

Wenger out, obviously, and anyone with a bit of PL experience in to steady the ship. Someone who understands what defending is so our new signings wouldn't be completely wasted. Make it a short term signing so we can look around for the longer term replacement.

So we'll be raiding the lower French leagues again I suppose.

Sagna? He's been our best defender by far and pretty consistent - only thing he needs to work on is his crossing, but in terms of defending I wouldn't trade him for too many others!

[Niall_Quinn]

I'd rate Sagna as average, which as you say makes him by far our best defender. It wouldn't be hard to replace him with somebody who can do the same sort of solid defensive job but can also help rather than hinder the team going forward. The guy had the whole season to sort out his crossing and he didn't improve by even a percentage point. What makes anyone think he'll ever be able to cross the ball? A good player but with a fatal flaw.

Yet he still made the premiership 11 so can't be that bad.

I remember seeing something about that a month or so ago. They are also after Bale and Modric.

Didn't say he was bad, just said it wouldn't be difficult to replace him with a more rounded player.

[Kaiser]

Sergio Canales is likely to move to Villarreal after Mourinho basically stalled his career by not playing him all season and then signing 4857 midifielders this summer. Very talented player, who should flourish at el Madrigal.
