I know it's too early but I've just had a brilliant idea of an ideal Summer transfer window so I opened the thread, sue me.
So the news is we'll have 50 million quid for the Summer, here's what I'd do:
- 10 million for Cech, he's the kind of a goalkeeper that wins you trophies
- 40 million for Reus, love the guy
- Khedira on a free.
Boom cancel the transfer window we've won it.
Still can't pull off a list on this contraption...
Let's see where we are in January. The stubbornness is getting tiring, but Wenger does have two FA Cup trophies in the last two years so he's obviously doing something right.
With Man City and Chelsea making the Premier League their own competition, and then Man Utd and Liverpool throwing cash around as if they won a lottery, it's unrealistic to think that we should be automatically fighting for the title. There are four tiers of quality in the Premier League:
It's going to take a long time to upset that balance. And until we do, we'll be fighting for third or second place, at best.

The only advantages of Benzema over Giroud is that he has more pace and dribbling. His passing is also good.
But his finishing isn't better than Giroud's. Could be even worse.
It';s hard to say how he'd play at Arsenal without having to play in Ronaldo's shadow. I'd prefer Lewandowski. But Benzema would also do.

That isn't true. Benzema's finishing is better than Giroud's, but Giroud is just better at those 'near post flicks'. I would also prefer Lewandowski, but I don't think he's a viable option.

Man like Bamzooki presenter Jake Humphrey turns full ITK:
"A source who is rarely wrong tells me Arsenal are close to the signing that would make them genuine contenders. We shall see..." https://twitter.com/mrjakehumphrey/status/629724235196448768

It's not going to be Benzema, it's going to be Kalou.

the latest rumor to re-surface is cheryshev, which is actually not a bad idea. left footed winger, under 24 who has gotten plenty of playing time in a top league.

This is probably the worst transfer window Wenger has ever had considering the resources available to him & the clear deficiencies in our squad

Lot of shity rumors will pop up now, but lets play with it, that's all what is left for us Arsenal fans.
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/601786/Dortmund-swoop-cut-price-bid-Arsenal-international-target-Yarmolenko
I would love Yarmalenko here, he move around the pitch but he predominantly play on the right side, and that open question, why would we go for position where we have Theo and OX.

I'd also love Yarmolenko, but he's not coming. If he did, I assume Theo would become our second-choice striker and Ox and Yarmo fight it out for the RW position. But again, he's not coming. He has said he's not going anywhere, so has his club.

But that make sense. If we cant find good strike, we should transform player we have or some more offensive player we can buy.
Why i want player like Reus here, its because we can push Theo, Alexis or him up front and yet cover RW /LW . As you said, Yarmalenko would cover RW and Theo would take second striker spot in team, and that will for a period at least, fix our attacking problem (hopefully) Its not perfect solution, but, we can always bring Sanogol back!
I keep forgetting we have Welbeck.
Never say never, we saw far bigger players get sold on end of transfer window, and similar rhetoric used even from us before selling player.
