    I think Ganso would cost a little bit more, probably in the £20-30 million price range.

    Dzagoev would be a good buy, and he seemed quite keen to test himself in a stronger league straight after the Euros, but I haven't heard anything from him since.

    Just throwing out some names for you, Dempsey, Honda and Gourcuff. I say Gourcuff because I imagine Lyon wouldn't be too determined to keep hold of him, and there was a time when he was expected to become a brilliant player, although he hasn't fulfilled his potential. Perhaps Wenger could be the one to get him back on tracks.

    Good shout on Honda, would suit the system we play. Plus delivers a mean set piece, him delivering with Vermaelen on the receiving end could be deadly.

    Hear about that, but they only want him on loan. Santos would surely prefer to sell and sell to a non-Brazilian team?

    I'm not entirely sure Ganso is as good as people say he is. But i don't rate Giroud much, so i know nothing.

    I've heard santi cazorla can play in that position too. If we get him I think you can be assured that's it for an am.

    I like Walcott alot he's just not an orthodox winger. Oxo would play that role better as he's more of a natural midfielder.

    Ganzo would be a truely excellent signing though, seems ready made for the EPL

    I'd love for us to sign Cazorla, but wouldn't Barca or Real sign him first?

    real is a possibility if they want him. Barca are well stocked in that position though spanish press seem to indicate we are the favourites and have (rumour alert) placed 20mil euro bid.

    I didn't think it was a priority until I heard about Wilshere and Rosicky on arsenal.com. Now it's priority #1 above getting M'Vila.

    We should go for Ganso or Eriksen. Both potentially the best of the best.

    Gotze is too expensive and (people will hate me saying this) but slightly over-rated. Dzagoev is WAY over-hyped. Yes, he scored a few goals in Euro 2012 but they were comparitively easy goals. Belhanda I don't know enough about.

    Would be a dream signing for us. He's been exceptional wherever he's played.

    1. Not a hope in hell.
    2. Wants to go to Barca in 2 years.
    3. Possible but pricey.
    4. Possible.
    5. Possible but committed himself to Montpellier earlier in the summer did he not?

    agreed with all and you're right belhanda did in fact commit himself to one more year at montpellier though i don't agree with your eriksen remark. Barca won't make space for him. I personally see him going to italy

    I think it was vice versa, Montpellier (Nicollin) basically said he's not leaving.

    Dzagoev isn't a playmaker.
