That would be great.

I agree a DM, a striker and a GK.

I would go..

Cech
Kondogbia
Cavani or Lacazette.

I'd take that! Cavani rumours seem to have him priced around 30-35m so if true that's not outside the realms of possibility. Lacazette seems a possible option too as he is from the French league and wenger loves a French striker.

Also noises Cech might want to stay in London.

If we even managed to sort two of the three spots I'd be happy. But if we signed Cech and one of the DMs and CFs suggested I'd be confident of a proper title challenge.
 
I've also seen Vidal and Pedro rumours. I'd take Vidal for sure. Pedro arriving though I'd assume would mean Walcott was on his way out.
 
Don't get me wrong, if that's true, great news, however, it must mean we're definitely going to lose one or two midfielders.

Arteta and Diaby :)

I never watched Vidal...just read he runs like mad (like Ramsey I guess). Anyone actually watched him? what type of midfielder is he?
 
Another rumour that's popped up with VIdal is Jackson Martinez, again. This time from the Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/football...fer-rumour-mill-arsenal-arturo-vidal-juventus.

"One man who has helped his man qualify for the Champions League, and is set to receive his war chest, is Arsenal’s Arsène Wenger. He will spend lots of it on Juventus’ Arturo Vidal, who will play for Chile in this summer’s Copa America, then sign for the north London club for around the £25m mark, according to reports. Vidal’s Mr 15%, Fernando Felicevich, is also the same suit that brought another Chilean, Alexis Sánchez, to Arsenal last summer, so there a bit of narrative that we can all get behind. The box-to-box midfielder has been integral in Juve’s domestic double-winning season, and may yet sign off by adding a Champions League medal on 6 June.

Wenger will spend the remainder of his treasure on Porto’s Jackson Martínez. The striker has a £25m release clause in his contract and after scoring 28 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions this season, Arsenal are keener than a dog on heat to secure his services for next season. Portuguese paper Jornal de Notícias claim that a deal has already been agreed in principle, with Martínez’s personal terms yet to be thrashed out."

I like Jackson Marinez but it's a fair amount of money for a player who is nearing 30.

Vidal would be an amazing signing. One of my favourite players.

I thought he was younger. Problem is Vidal is also 28. We have plenty of young players in our squad and it's best for players like Coqs and co to learn from more experienced heads. But we won't want to spend to much as someone like Vidal might command a large wage. Martinez will be affordable but over £25m might be a little too much. How much did Spurs buy Soldado for?
