    He tweeted 'prefers', it doesn't seem particularly unequivocal. I'm sure last year someone said he preferred Tottnumb because of Pochettino.

    Does anybody on here really think that Wenger will sign 3 more players that will mean we will have a good chance in the Premiership and the CL next season ?

    We still need a central defender because Mertersacker is not good enough.

    We need a defensive midfielder to replace Coquelin when he gets injured, Flamini and Arteta are not good enough.

    We need a striker because Giroud and Welbeck are not prolific enough and Theo is injury prone.

    I doubt Wenger is going to do all that.

    Giroud did score 20 goals last season and he didn't play until novemeber so he's pretty good and largely reliable fitness wise. Came back from a broken leg and don't think missed a game through injury since. I think between Alexis, Giroud, Walcott and Welbeck that should get us 60 goals. We will be ok with that strike force, however if we could get a benzema etc then hopefully wenger will do what he did when Cech came, be ruthless for the sake of the team.

    For now, i would rather focus on replacing Arteta (who i would keep, as he is a good influence ) and flamini. Thats the priority.

    Defence is fine, Mertescaker is a very good player, but i think gabriel will come into the team. We also have chambers and monreal in a dire emergency

    Good post, good post.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. 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.

    Giroud blows hot and cold too much. In 2013/14 he was brilliant for 8 or 9 games and then he turned into a pub striker for the rest of the season. Same again last season, he went on a very good run and then went seven games without scoring. And it wasn't just about the goals, his performances in general went down the toilet too. No chance of winning the league if our main striker is that inconsistent.

    Even if he did get more consistent, he's not in the same class of strikers as our rivals' - Aguero, Costa and RVP(when fit) can win games themselves, whereas most of Giroud's goals are tap ins. When the team plays badly so does he. DM and CB can wait, but we need a striker.

    I disagree about Costa winning games on his own, I wouldn't even say he was a world class striker. Costa needs service and Chelsea won the league without a proper or full fit striker for a lot of games.

    Unless a real quality player becomes available I don't think we will sign another striker as Welbeck, Giroud, Walcott and Sanchez can all lead the line and unless one of those is sold I cant see us bringing anyone new in. We have also had Ozil, the Ox and Ramsey play in the front three last season too.

    I would like to see another CB to usurp Merte and actually another strong midfielder as I think we are getting a little carried away with Coquelin who has only played 6 months of decent football for us and would prefer us to have someone else in place who can either rotate with him to keep both fresh as it is an energetic role or even replace him and have him as 2nd choice.

    Having said that I cant see us signing more than one more player.

    I'd take Costa over Giroud but I agree, he's a striker that relies on service. Seeing how it gets lost in Spain's tika taka style, I wonder if he'd have the same problems if we signed him.

    Unless Ramsey is going to step back up to deity level and assuming we won't stump up the cash for Pogba, we'll be needing to sign Vidal. Window opened today I think so hopefully the deal will be completed by the end of the week. I mean why would we wait around?

    If you put Vieira (in his prime) into the midfield of our current squad we'd win the title. A player who can dominate and distribute (forwards) or go and do the job himself if the lads up top are having a day off. Cazorla did it a couple of times last season but come on, we can hardly pin that role full time on a guy who's 5 feet tall in heels and made of straw. If only Diaby was made of the same stuff as Paddy. I can see what Wenger was trying to do there. There's a chance to put that plan back on track by signing Vidal.

    Chec - Kos - Vidal - ???

    Isn't it about time Theo Walcott delivered on all that potential and grabbed that spot?
