Well, Yes I’m not going to talk about spurs – we lost and many of our players with the exception of a few (yes you’ve read other blogs) were unmotivated, undedicated and totally lacking any winning mentality against a fatigued side any other big club would of thrashed. So this post is going to talk about signings which should happen this season with regards to real possible moves and hopes of mine and other supporters…

The Goalkeeping spot

We all know and I have said this for ages that Almunia was never good and will never be good enough for us. ON his day he is a good keeper but nothing more. But he rarely has ‘his day’ and this means he lacks consistency. To be honest I may be able to cope with an average keeper who doesn’t have off days but doesn’t make amazing saves as this would mean we would know when we would get beaten and not have 10 clagners a season which is Alumnia. I would rather Almunia not have had an amazing 1^st leg against Barcelona, but an average season without huge errors in the league. This in my opinion will reassure defenders about the capabilities of their man between the sticks and will create less errors and mental issues in the game with them.

Will Almunia be sold/leave: No he will become our keeper on the bench as no one will buy him.

Will Wenger buy a new 1^st team Goalie: Yes

If I see any Goalie coming to Arsenal it will be Hugo Lloris the very talented French man. He is 6ft 3 and is by far one of the best up and coming goalies. If Wenger can get him for the right price I think there is no doubt he will make an attempt. The question we have to ask ourselves is how much will Wenger believe is an adequate evolution? My View 8 – 15 million and any figure would be worthy of his services for us.

However you cannot only blame Wenger for our lack of good goalies but the goalkeeping coaches. Wtf have they been doing for 3 – 4 season???

The Defence

There is no doubt we will buy in the summer. Gallas and Silvestre can leave and we should give Campbell another year just for his leadership and to be back up, back up centre back. Djourour will be a good defender; he is tall strong and can head the ball and at the moment he can be a decent back up centre back. I believe even if Campbell stays Wenger should/will buy another centre back and possible are Steven Mouyokolo of Hull, Martin Caceres of Barca and Jerome Boateng of Hamburg.

Out of that 3 I would love to see Boateng come – however it appears Man City are gonna beat us to him and will also probably use their loo rolls of money to pay a ridiculous amount for a player Hamburg value at £11 million. He can play right back and centre back and is 6ft 3 and strong. We can live in hope.

I don’t want to see a £2 million Hull City reject come to Arsenal – if he hasn’t kept Hulls defence why should he play for us?

I can’t really comment on Caceres but I do know he appears injury prone; he went on loan to Juventus and has only figured 10 time this season. I don’t like the sound of this one however it could be very true as he appears (when playing!) very good on the ball and quite a decent passer. However he is only 5ft11 ½ and however good Vermaelen is I don’t think Wenger can pull that trick again.

With regards to Hangeland of Fulham I don’t think it will happen. Sorry.

The Midfield

People constantly batter Denilson. They are right to do so I don’t care how young he is, he has played over 100 games for us and I have never seen drastic improvement; ok he has scored a few goals this season but overall his game playing skills have not improved – he still is lazy as ever and I don’t think he has the natural talent and flair f some of our other younger players. Would he even get on Man Utd’s or Chelskis bench? Precisely.

Abou Diaby will be great. Just give him time and buy some players so as to give him a rest – currently we do not have enough back up players so as soon as he’s back from injury (which will come) hes back in the squad with no time. That’s what happened at Spurs and look at his performance.

So will Wenger sell Denilson: No – but he will be on the bench next season as Wenger will buy – in the long term he will be sold as Ramsey will become our awesome CM player.

Who will Wenger buy?

Felipe Melo is a possible if at the right price because when Wenger goes for a player he is almost certain he knows he will succeed. He was voted worst player in Serie A this season simply because he couldn’t play well with his Juve team mates. That won’t happen at Arsenal – rest assured.

There have also been reports that Wenger will go back for Clement Chantome who he tried signing last year. Although PSG would not sell – However his contract is up in two years and the player may not renew so with some luck we may have our man. He is 1.83 metres or dead on 6ft and is aged 22. A good player and coming into that age when he is looking good ahead of his prime.

The Attack

Ok I will count that Chamakh is in with the squad – a good signing.

However Wenger will want a real quality player to come in as he will know now how much we lost without Van Persie; If the reports that he has £45 million to spend are true then why rule out David Silva who is going from Valencia? He is a left footed winger and what we need in our formation – we have missed a good player how can cross and take on the left so why not when the papers are saying he is available at £22 million? People have been referring to Eden Hazard but why would we buy him at £18 million when for £4 million extra we could have an established international, quality player who knows Fabregas and can play alongside him? Bear in mind we have Jack Wilshere who in my mind is just as good as Hazard.

We also may be in for Loic Remy – and this may be true as Wenger did try to sign him in January but the price was too high at £13 million. The player has said he would love to play for Arsenal but to see him come we will have to see players leave; that could be Eduardo or Vela as Vela has not had game time. To be honest I wouldn’t mind Eduardo to leave as he has never been the same after the injury but not Vela as he is good and will be great for us.

So that’s that – and feel free to have your views; insult my choices like some will or like them – I won’t take ti personally and even put your own down for the fun of it. Andy J

Right over the past few weeks and as always we continue to see many, many players constantly being linked to Arsenal; But who are the transfer targets who really could be possibilities not just space to fill in newspaper gossip columns.

The Goalkeeper Position

Well all the pundits will tell you Almunia is not good enough and so will all us fans, however we are not the manager. Almunia has been better in the past few weeks as keeper and I have a bad feeling that Wenger might just keep him. I really hope not because although Almunia is not a bad keeper he isn’t a keeper worthy of champions – in my opinion. I think in the long term Szechny (or however you spell it!) is our real savior in that position - but if Wenger is looking at a keeper who is it?



It has got to be Hugo Lloris currently the very good keeper of Lyon. He is 6ft 2 inches and is definitely good enough for us straight away. BUT Wenger will not buy unless he is available at a correct price, and to be honest who knows what Wenger believes is a good price? In my opinion I can’t see us buying a keeper in the summer…

Defence

Silvestre will leave - not a problem. Gallas? Who knows? But anyhow we will buy at least one CB in the summer. My guess is that Wenger will pick a relatively unheard of name, like Vermaelen, and buy again – however it depends whether Gallas signs. If he does Wenger will buy an inexperienced player who can play his way into the team. But if he goes (an in my opinion this is not such a problem as he is ageing and I have still never forgiven him after his captaincy issue) I think Wenger will buy from Abroad – but I doubt Hangeland will be brought in as many people say.

Midfield

Well I don’t think Wenger will buy if his current central midfielders stay – Ramsey is out and possibly he will try to tempt over Melo but at anything over £10 million he will walk away. We have Fran Merida as well and we know Wenger loves him…

Attack

Chamakh will come in – we all know it. We are apparently also looking at Remy and I believe the interest to be true but only if one of our players leave – perhaps Eduardo or Vela due to lack of first team opportunities?  I really hope Vela doesn’t as he has a future. I like Dudu however he hasn’t been himself and if he doesn’t start performing from now to the end of the campaign then would this be bad Wenger has just recently stated he is now fully fit so no excuses…

We have also been linked with Eden Hazard and newspapers report Wenger has phoned him but this will only happen should one of our CAM’s leave like Rosicky – btu why would that happen? Also bear in mind Wilshere is on loan and will come back next season so how will Hazard get a game? Sorry but I can’t see it Wenger doesn’t splash £20 million on most players let alone a sub!

And that’s it folks summer possibilities…
