Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[sibreen]

Suppose that in this transfer window we spent 50m on Balotelli, Remy, Aurier, and a backup goalkeeper, and that there were no further transfers in or out: what would the general reaction be?

I would be torn between feeling great that Arsenal who never spend any money have spent 50m on good players in what are key positions for us; but I would also be disappointed that there isn't an uber-player coming in, and that the clubs around us would have spent similar amounts of money.

But, I wonder if this disappointment would be a little unfair on the club..

It is arguably fairer to ignore the money spent and simply consider whether we have filled the positions in the squad or not. Regardless of any numbers if we go into the next season without a proper DM a RB and a CF you really do have to question the strategy being employed here.

How is Balotelli not an "uber-player"? I'd be happy with those signings but we'd be missing a reliable DM. Don't feel comfortable in getting 50+ games between Arteta and Flamini.

Khedira, tbh

I'd wake up from my dream..

Aurier fills a open space so we shouldn't expect anything less......

I am warming to the Balotelli move.....the guy has 'I'm nuts and have a ton of baggage' but I am praying that these traits can be negated by his brilliance....we need a match winner and if he comes with a bit of attitude it adds to it....my worry is his on pitch mood swings but there is no doubt that he would make us stronger.

Now Remy is another who it feel we could afford to bring in...along with Bug Sexy we would have a quality rotation but is Wenger thinking Campbell could be our third choice? I can see him doing so but whoever comes in Remy or whoever stays Campbell it may be out wide they ply their trade.

Now if it were those three I would be happy but we need a CM of a defensive nature so true happiness would be on ice. I think we need to address that too

GK is another need but I can see loan sufficing

We really should be rescuing Stekelenburg from his Fulham quagmire. A good keeper who would be eager to prove himself all over again. Scz could learn some things from having him here too. Guarantee Stekenburg both domestic cup games. £5m, 50kpw. Job done

That should be the bare minimum in terms of numbers and type of quality although I find it highly unlikely we'll do all of that business.

At best we are looking at Balotelli and a backup keeper, the rest of the positions will most likely be "patched" up so to speak.

I mean we haven't even signed a backup keeper yet, does it really take this long to identify a target and make a move?
