    If Wenger was pressured to spend money on certain positions, I'd rather it was for a defensive mid/box-to-box mid and a poacher.

    If we have a generous transfer kitty like some people are suggesting, then by all means strengthen at left back.

    I'll believe that when I see it. We have put up with constant disappointment on the signings front.

    Main area of concern is the left back spot. Get rid of Santos and bring a moderately experienced left back. No point bringing in an 18 year old when our main left back Gibbs is still young. We need proper cover when Gibbs goes for a Moby Dick.

    Need a striker. Huntelaar for less than 10 Million would be a steal.

    Not a transfer rumour as such, but according to the Fail, we're giving Super Jack a new contract, and Wenger is planning on making him captain in the future.

    Who are you going to drop Wilshere, Arteta or Cazorla?

    Arteta then rotate him with Cazorla and Wilshere

    Not all the time, just for tough away games

    Dont forget wilshere is just coming back from injury, arteta needs to b rested at some points and santi can play in the front 3 - theres plenty of need for rotation and plenty of need for a strong dm in the big games/against good counter attacking sides

    I'm sorry but I find the news that Jack will be one of the top earners ridiculous. He had a good season, and then missed a complete season, just came back, still being 20, and he becomes one of our top earners? What!?

    Why not just add a condition to renew the contract terms after he has a longer spell, say 2-3 years down the road?

    Rvps contract was renewed under similar circumstances. In hindsight I don't think that was a mistake

    I expect to see LFC and Chelsea splash out big in January. We won't get anyone because we've got a load of players coming back from injury. The fact that these players are all injury prone and will probably be back on the treatment table in early Feb won't come to anyone's mind. It's like having a team of fellas like that Samuel L Jackson character from Unbreakable.

    Is that the same Liverpool that could not afford a pot to piss in the last transfer window?

    They want more? Let's see how all their previous transfers from Arsenal worked out.

    Kolo Toure - Banned for a while for taking his wife's diet pills, squad player, cost them £15 Mil and his wages are huge.

    Samir Nasri - £20 odd Million for a player that only turns up in patches.

    Adebayor - <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    With that track record, I am surprised they want more.
