I'd take a bunch of Chelsea players
The three musketeers for a start. Cashley. And Cech.

Captain

I just can't believe that we'll have pretty much ten squad places available in the summer.

That's why I was wondering about guys like Inui this morning.

Armor

Just looked up his injury record, its not very good. Not much better than Fabianski's actually.

Captain

That's why we didn't take him on a free last summer. He looks to be over it now, played every game this season.

Armor

I presume keepers weren't high on the agenda last summer as the hope was Szczesny would kick on which is understandable really. I'd love to know what Wengers real thoughts on the keeping situation is.....what he thinks of both Poles and what his ideal set up is for next season. I don't think its certain that we sign a keeper.

Captain

You think? Fabianski was basically done here and we only had Mannone. Maybe not a priority but you would have to think we had some interest in bringing a player in for that position.

Armor

Oh i think we would have bought a keeper if the right one became available at a good price. But i don't think we would have been actively looking for a Szczesny replacement. Its probably a similar story this summer and if Adler is available on the cheap then like you say i think there could be genuine interest there.

Not one of our player would start for Bayern. Wilshere will struggle to make the bench if they sign Gotze and Lewandowski.

I think Gibbs can start for Dortmund? Or at least in contention. Koscielny might too.

Koscielny can start for Bayern and is as good as Hummels.

You think he is better or more consistent than Badstuber and Dante?

Think we are regretting not signing Lloris on a cheap.

Hmm. I'd personally have a new goalkeeper a bit down the list on signings we need to make in order to better compete. I guess I rate Sneezey higher than most and have more faith in him to further improve. Having said that - Adler is indeed a very good goalkeeper.

No interest in a new keeper.

we dont have a single world class player, and we've got a lot of inefficient players who do too many stupid things. in cup ties, that will kill you.

we have a good team, but we do need 1-2 world class players brought in, and they cost a shitload (and rightfully so).

Claudius

we have the money, Kami, and we can sell if need be to bring in world class stars in my mind, if you're not (e.g.) Wilshere, Cazorla, Koscielny, Nacho, or Sagna, I don't see why you can't be sold to finance some top-tier purchases. keep some of the kids as well (Ox, Gibbs, Ramsey etc); but if we can sell the likes of Giroud, Chamakh, Gervinho, Vermaelen to bring in a top-tier player, we'd be better off.

The key is "the rest need to be of good quality"

Ours clearly isn't, let alone world class players. Clear the dead woods first.

Rex

Our team is 'good quality' though. Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Podolski, AOC, Walcott, Gibbs, Monreal, Wilshere, Sneezey - those players are all 'good quality'. We need a few more Cazorlas though that are 'top, top class quality'.

goon

Clarence, it's complete hyperbole to say we don't have players who are of good quality. You could probably replace 2/3 of United's team with our lot and they'd still have romped to the league title. The difference between us and them is the final 1/3 of the side.

Eh? I think I should have worded it better. I meant not ALL of them are of good quality. We have a few flaws to sort it out first.
