Same as usual, a very good winger, but I'd be happy with nobody at the moment.

World class centerback. Cover for Silva in case Nasri regresses back to his former self.

I doubt we get either though. Very little business done in january and kind of quality we are looking for simply isn't available.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Class Centre Back
Class Left Wing
A young playmaker with potential to provide cover for Nasri/Silva and push Nasri to keep up his good form of late.

Time to get rid of Richards whilst we can still get anything for him. He is developing into one of our worst sicknotes ever. Need a top RB to cover for Zabaleta.

Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

With the homegrown rule we can't afford to sell Micah so forget it.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Who would you want as cover for Silva? He's so unique in the way he plays. Nasri's good but he's a very different player. Silva can hold onto the ball, bring others into play and really dictate a game.
Xavi and Iniesta can do that for sure but someone of that calibre wouldn't want to play second fiddle.

Isco should of been signed up with no hassle, he would of been the perfect player to be playing with silva, only prob that I'd amit is that we prob wouldn't be seeing nasri at his best right now

I would've gone for Ozil or Isco. They are gone now unfortunately.

I'd go for Koke who I think is going to be world star in future.

Is Ozil the same type of player? From what Arsenal fans have said to me he seems to be on the periphery of games, with one or two great moments, whereas Silva dictates games. I'll happily admit I've not seen a huge amount of Ozil before this season.

I reckon özil would jump ship if an offer went in. I bet he was another , told a few fairy takes by Wenger about what the Arse are going to do and who they might buy. His reaction to their loss on saturday was quite a blow to him i think .

I haven't played football manager for a few years so I can't throw random names into this thread, but, we need a world class in form centre back.

We also need a left back because as much as I like Kolarov, he and Clichy aren't quite hitting the heights required.

We really don't need any numbers upfront.

We have a better Right Back compared to Richards. We don't have a better CB compared to Kompany. Apples and Oranges.
