Timbob

Cesc is immense, but we've got Rambo and Ozzy, not to mention Jack, so it's a no from me.

Rex

Don't think Wenger is worried the WC will interrupt his transfer plans. Firstly, the world cup is over well before transfer deadline day, and we seem to have an OCD-like need to mainly act then. Secondly, the teenage sensations we will most likely be after aren't good enough to go to the WC anyway.

Tactics

Could we fit them all into the same team?

-------Striker----Ozil----
-----------Cesc
-----Ramsey-----Wilshere
------------DM
Gibbs---Kos---Merte--Sagna
-----------Ches

Maybe not enough goalscorers?

Timbob

Not enough proper width. We'd need to get in some beastly fullbacks.

Ray

If we were to get him i'd expect something like this

-----Ramsey--Cesc
Walcott---Ozil---Cazorla
----------Benzema

Bit too risky for the PL week in week out, but rotate with Arteta/Flamini.

Yep

Dunno why included Sagna, he's gone IMO, so bring in a very offensive RB.

Does it feel strange that in a World Cup year, where we surely should be looking to lock up targets before the tournament starts, there hasn't been a single reliable link to anyone in a position that we need (maybe apart from a tenuous one to Aurier)? I guess AW is signing (sigh!) but I hope we are doing something about our needs on the pitch, unlike in previous seasons and not waiting around till the last day. Do people think there is some action happening behind the scenes or is it BAU for us?

Wenger hinted towards early planning for next season by saying, “We do spend time on next season, we are really focused and working very hard. Every day we spend time on that.”

Wenger is full of it. I seriously doubt we'll get a lot of business done before the world cup.

Kel Varnsen

And Tom fucking Cleverly? Wtf are these journalists smoking?

Ray

Cleverly, Welbeck and Smalling are heading our way if those journalists are to be believed.

Kel Varnsen

I'd kill myself and Wenger if that happened.

Daz

Other way round would work better Kel.

Rex

😆

If we signed Fabregas, then Wenger would play Özil wide if using both of them, and either of them at 10 if the other is injured/rested. A Fabregas and Ramsey central midfield would shackle Ramsey too much IMO, and it looks very shaky defensively.

frusciante

we would have signed fabregas this summer if it werent for ozil..and i would take it, but the ship has sailed, wilshere wouldnt get into squad and the imbalance would be too big

Rex

Why would you even care about whether Wilshere gets games if you could have Fabregas instead? I actually think that some time riding the pine would be good for Wilshere. Wish he would think about the aspects of his game he needs to improve. The pine can be very effective there...

Wilshere isn't going to ask for a move back 'home' when the going gets tough, he openly told everyone when we had a lot of jokers in the team (at a time when it looked like we were going nowhere), that he'll spend the rest of his career at the club.

I'd also rather Wilshere in CM.

Rex

Cesc has tried 'home' now. It isn't very likely he would want to go back home again, is it?

Clrnc

Tried to fit in Cesc into our current team, doesn't work at all.

I think we have learnt enough this season that pace and power on the wings is critical to team success. I'd rather not have yet another slow playmaker.

Macca

Benzema/Balotelli
Koke/Pogba
