without wanting to sound negative... I have a feeling that we aren't going to sign anyone else. there are enough goals in the team particularly if the Ox continues his form and Walcott returns to form. I would still like another defensive midfielder type though. I do think Mertesacker could be a problem over the course of the season and Gabriel is still untested so an injury to superKos could derail our title ambitions.
The positive thing is that we don't actually need anyone - we're in a place where we're casually keeping an eye on the market to see if any genuinely world-class upgrades become available within our price range, but we are talking about upgrades and luxury-buys here, and not glaring holes in the starting XI and/or catastrophic depth issues. No matter how good you are, there's always going to be areas of the side that could be bettered with the signing of one of the world's best players - that doesn't mean that you don't already have a very tight group, with a lot of depth and options and goals. For once, I'm feeling pleasantly relaxed about where we are going into the season...
Rumours about Gotze floating about. Doesn't seem to be happy at Bayern for whatever reason and I can see him easily wanting to come to the PL especially to a club like us with fellow German players and an attractive style of play.
Wenger has been a public admirer for a long time (tried to sign him when he was at Dortmund iirc) though surely even he wouldn't be as comical enough to sign yet another short midget AM when we've already got a whole coach worth of them at the club.
Can't see where he would fit it. Ozil is a shoe in for the no. 10 and Alexis / Ox either side.
Dont think Wenger could resist this one. Too good a player to pass up or let fall into the hands of UnitedSpursPoolCityChelsea. Sign him up let the GHELs go find another place to recuperate.
Hed play out wide, definitely ahead of Ox. He's an incredible talent, has the potential to be the very best. And probably further along in realising his potential than the other young players we have. Know they're not happy with him but would be surprised if Bayern let him go this early.
I've heard people suggest Gotze can get to Messi/Conaldo's level before. I rate the boy but he won't touch their level. I think when he was at Dortmund, part of the appeal to the club was that he was a big talent on very low wages (reportedly less that 20k at the time) which was a big plus in evaluating his actual cost to the club. Any reasonable offer in wages would have looked handsome to him back then.
If there was even a remote possibility Bayern would they let him go, it would come at a hefty price and as mentioned.....Wenger has way too many players of that ilk right now.
Sounds like the perfect WUMger signing tbh, just needs some underlying injury and it's on!

"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
How funny would it be to sign Benzema from real madrid and then watch them sign Aguero as his replacement?
