Not exactly a "Buy" but this is excellent news and might influence a few things http://www.arsenalstation.com/2014/...y-rated-defender-signs-contract-with-arsenal/
Lars is a bit more technical than Sven. Sven is more of a standard DM while lars is more of a deep lying box to box player. Both are good.
i did read that and couldn't stop laughing perhaps they could sell Huddlestone for £110 million - my bad he already sold for **** all
Whilst you are wondering about who to buy, perhaps you should be asking yourselves what has happened to the Arsenal academy that produced such brilliant players from the late 80s and which eventually helped you win the '89 and '91 titles. Namely Rocastle, Michael Thomas, Paul Merson and Tony Adams and all from London. Not to mention the sublime Paul Davis from an earlier period. Can't think of a single player, Ozil apart, who is in that class in the current Arsenal squad!! That may be why a Premiership title seems a bit remote at the moment!!
Sell - Giroud or Sanogo Arteta Diaby Buy One of Mandzukic, Balotelli, Benzema, Cavanai, Dezeko, One of Reus, Di Maria, Draxler One of Mvilla, Bender (Lars ideally but Sven would do), Khedira, One young CB - papadouplous of shalke Also if TV and/or Sagna leaves a new cb and rb And most imporant buy back Vela for 4mn euros.
Ignoring your absolute nonsense about losing Diaby.... If we could buy Balotelli, Reus, Lars Bender and a decent young CB I think I'd probably soil myself! Those additions alone would have me confident of competing at all levels.
What is this obsession about selling one of our strikers. Our key problem is the depth of the squad yet people are talking about one striker in, one out. It's ridiculous. Keep both giroud and Sanogo and buy another bloody striker!
Honestly Giroud and Sanogo are so similar and then they will be second choice. Think it will be hard to keep 3 players for one position. Plus Theo and Pod give us options up there. Plus I have given a monster wishlist and we do need to trim a little. I feel like it. . But...... 25+ goals and 25+ assists in a season and 3/4 from lwf/rwf is an amazing return for a player who is 24 and will cost 4mn euros. He is one of the only players we have sold with a buy back clause. There is a reason for that. Plus if we keep playing with a large CF he would be ideal on the run in and score ala Theo. I am 80% serious about bringing him back.
