Sigurdsson
Vertonghnen
Possibly Sturridge and a few more
I would have been more than happy with these three players in our squad, not too costly either...
What are we doing? I'm growing somewhat impatient with Gazidis inability to close a deal..Hazard and Mata in particular

We've signed a striker on trial
http://www.insidefutbol.com/2012/07/...n-trial/65145/Arsenal are taking highly-rated Caen striker M’Baye Niang on trial, according to French daily Ouest-France.
The 17-year-old has been tracked by some of the biggest clubs in Europe, who have been impressed with the progress he has made since breaking into Caen’s first team last year.
Niang has been on the radar for many sides long before bursting through to the northern France team’s senior ranks however, with his performances and goalscoring feats from the age of 13 attracting much attention from Lille and Paris Saint-Germain, amongst others.
It is at Caen though that the 17-year-old has developed and is now making his mark, though the Ligue 2 outfit accept that keeping hold of such a prodigious talent will be difficult.
And that task has been made all the harder by the club’s relegation from the French top flight last season, a fate that even Niang, who clocked up 23 appearances in Ligue 1, could not stop befalling the side.
Niang is now set to head to London and train with Arsenal in an effort to convince the Gunners that he is every bit as talented as has been mooted.
Should the France Under-21 international impress under the watchful eye of Arsene Wenger, negotiations with Caen could begin in earnest.
Niang is under contract with Caen until 2014 and scored twice in Ligue 1 last season.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3274/...s-with-unnamedRennes midfielder Tongo Doumbia has confirmed that he is in talks with an unnamed Premier League club over a summer switch.
And the Mali international now looks set to complete his dream move to the Premier League.
"Yes, there are discussions." Doumbia told Le 10 Sport.
"My agent is taking care of that - it is nice but a transfer requires all parties agreeing to it and now we are talking with Rennes .
"And this is not that I don't want to play with Rennes but this is the Premier League, it is a league that really attracts me. I think I have a playing style suited to the Premier League,"
Doumbia, who has two years remaining on his current deal at Rennes, also hinted that the move could be finalised in the near future.
He added: "I am due to resume training on Monday, but I hope everything will be fixed shortly."
Doumbia did not name the club in question but, according to RMC Sport, he may have been referring to either the Toffees or Villa - the radio station claims that one of the two have submitted a €2.5 million (£2.5m) offer and that Arsenal are also monitoring the situation.

Swap with Jovetic
http://www.express.co.uk/football/vi...bin-van-PersieARSENAL and Tottenham are set to launch big-money transfer raids as they prepare for life without two of their biggest stars.
With Paris St-Germain, Juventus, Manchester City and Barcelona queueing up to pay up to £25million for the unsettled Robin van Persie, manager Arsene Wenger last night prepared to answer his critics with moves to replace him.
And as Real Madrid moved closer to the capture of Luka Modric, Spurs new boss Andre Villas-Boas has already earmarked where some of the £28m he is expected to get for the Croatian playmaker will go.
Wenger is understood to have Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic as his No.1 target, but he faces competition from Chelsea for a player who is also valued at around £25m.
Borussia Dortmund’s Polish ace, Robert Lewandowski, 23, is believed to be next on the list.
AVB, who would appear to have eased some of the pain of losing Modric with the £6m signing of Gylfi Sigurdsson, has also set his sights on a new striker.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and owner Stan Kroenke are smarting over the criticism of the way they run the club in the wake of Robin van Persie’s decision to quit the Gunners. And they are likely to answer that within the next few days
Spurs have already had a £12m bid for Internacional’s Leandro Damiao knocked back. But after completing the signing of Diego Forlan from Inter Milan yesterday as a potential replacement, the Brazilians seem to have cleared the way for the 22-year-old to move to White Hart Lane.
And the new boss, with money to spend and boardroom ambitions to match, isn’t likely to stop there.
A new goalkeeper is believed to be high on his priorities with Lille’s Hugo Lloris and Birmingham’s highly rated Jack Butland topping the list of targets.
But it is at Arsenal where the impetus looks likely to gather pace this week.
Wenger and owner Stan Kroenke are smarting over the criticism of the way they run the club in the wake of Van Persie’s decision to quit. And they are likely to answer that within the next few days.
The manager has had reservations about Van Persie’s long-term fitness and is believed to have told his board not to bust a gut to keep him if a realistic offer came along, even before the Dutchman went public with his doubts about club policy.
As a result, despite forking out more than £20m to sign Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, Arsenal will spend again on another striker if they have to – and they have at least two to offer in part exchange as well if need be.
Neither Marouane Chamakh or Nicklas Bendtner are in the manager’s plans anymore and could both be used in player-plus-cash deals.
