    My Little Bony

What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    keeper out = Fabs (free)
    keeper in = Marshall (10 mill)

    Defenders out = Sagna (free), Monreal (5 mill) Vermaelen ( 10 mill )
    Defenders in = Piszczek (15 mill ), Felipe Luiz (10 mill ) Varane ( 20 mill )

    Midfielders out = Rosciky (5 mill), Podolski (10 mill), Arteta (10 mill), Cazorla (20 mill)
    Midfieders in = Bender (20 mill), Di Maria (25 mill), Gustavo (25 mill), Draxler (30 mill)

    Attackers out = Bendtner (can't give him away), Giroud (20 mill)
    Attackers in = Reus (35 mill), Martinez (30 mil)

    Net spend 140 mill

    Sir Ches back up Marshall.

    Piszchek back up Jenks ( i know!! )
    Felipe Luiz " Gibbs
    Merts " Varane
    Kos

    Gustavo " Bender ( or other way round ) - sometimes play both.
    Di Maria " Drexler "
    Walcott " Ox "
    Ozil " Reus
    Rambo " Wilshere

    Martinez " Reus,Walcot,Sanogo also forward options.

    Above based on 4-5-1 with Di Maria & Walcott playing wide of the 5. Could also look at 4-4-2 with Martinez & Reus up top. If we want to play defensive then 4-2-3-1 with Gustavo & Bender as the 2.
    To have 10 quality midfielders may sound OTT but if you think of the injuries we continually get to key players in this area ie Ramsey, Wilshere, Walcot & the fact we are overplaying some of these players which may be the root cause of a lot of these injuries then I think we should be able to rotate the side to keep all happy.

    With Wenger in charge we all know this is dreamland but IMO we do need a squad with that depth of quality to really maintain a challenge on all fronts.

    No way man! I dont want that many changes to the team. I agree some of those names need to leave but you dont want a team of 11 new players.

    But we only have 6 that looking at quality & age are ever going to be good enough to take us forward - Sir Ches, Kos, Ox, Walcot, Ozil, Rambo, maybe 7 if Jack starts growing up & stops falling over. we can't waste more years slowly getting rid of the dross, we've been doing that for far too long now. Big changes neccessary, we've been doing the tinkering & its gets us nowhere because in between the tinkering we've had better quality players leave us.

    I'd add Per and Gibbs to that list too. If Sagna is to leave (which looks likely) then I would keep a hold of Vermaelen as back up CB or as LB. Similarly, I see nothing wrong with Rosicky either. And I rate Cazorla a LOT! I think he is a fantastic player and has been one of the most consistent players since his arrival. I would also keep Podolski as he pretty Lethal infront of goal. Then add to the mix one of my favorite players, Gnabry and we look good.

    These are the players I want IN v/s players going out:

    OUT: Bendnter, Sanogo, Park, Arteta, Sagna, Flappy

    IN: Bender, Remy, Athletico madrid striker (whoever that may be), Piszczek for RB

    Players I'm on the fence about: Monreal, Flamini, Giroud. Regarding Giroud, I'd rather have him than not have him. He has scored 21 goals + counting and that is no mean feat tbh.
