Aurier
Fabregas
Vela/Griezmann
Bender/draxler
Benzema
+maybe a defensive midfielder

And out:
Giroud
Arteta
Vermaelen?

This should be our summer transfer window

All of those 3 should stay, however I could understand Vermaelen leaving.

Despite his bad performances against big teams, Arteta is important for our squad, and Giroud aswell.

Arteta have done his job, should be replaced by a new cdm

Didn't Giroud say he were gonna leave England cuz his wife said so?

Those were just rumours, they are working on their relationship now afaik, he has been excellent after this story tho.

Good input however the sad reality is that arsenal will do their usual and sign very very little in comparison to the other top clubs

I dont think we should sell any of those 3 as they could be valuable back-ups
I feel Fab should be very low priority as he doesnt fit in a position of extreme need atm

IMO position of importance this summer with realistic suggestions
1. Striker (Vela maybe Benzema is a realistic signing) I dont think Vela is that top class striker we need but its a realistic signing
2. CDM (Schneiderlin)
3. RB (aurier/coleman)
4. if and only if we fill those other 3 needs then sign Fabregas back





my dream scenario that will only happen in a FIFA game is

Cavani
Javi Martinez
Aurier/Coleman

With those 3 we could definitely compete for the title

Vela in, Giroud out. Profit as hell

and then in with a world class striker.
then one cdm
and then we have Aurier
and there we go, Draxler/Bender, add Fabregas to this

ye arteta does well but hes getting older and weaker, get a young strong midfielder to replace him.

A quote from the transfermarket discussion groupe

"So, season has finished, only FA Cup has left.

Here are the stats from whoscored site:

19. Giroud - 16 goals, 8 assists - 7.36 rating (36 Apps) - 7th in scoring, 8th in assists.
29. Lukaku - 15 goals, 6 assists - 7.29 rating (31 Apps)
63. Dzeko - 16 goals, 1 assists - 7.13 rating (31 Apps)
83. Bony - 16 goals (4 penalties), 3 assists - 7.10 rating (34 Apps)
122. Negredo - 9 goals, 3 assists - 6.88 rating (32 Apps)

So again, if we look at the players from other leagues, you see that they are scoring similar or even less, and are playing in a weaker leagues, and all of them have higher values.

Balotelli - 14 goals, 6 assists - 7.35 rating (29 Apps)
Llorentte - 15 goals, 4 assists - 7.17 rating (33 Apps)
Higuain - 17 goals, 7 assists - 7.12 rating (32 Apps)
Benzema - 17 goal, 8 assists - 7.43 rating (34 Apps)

So, we can love him, we can hate him, but Giroud is definitely justifying his value and is having a great season. As a lone striker, he managed to play really good and is one of the main reasons for Arsenal good season. Next season could be even better, because his best years are still coming.

Maybe this quote says it all:

"While Benzema is a luxury striker, a man who is prolific in-front of goal and is capable of leading the line for any team in the world, Arsenal may compare him to Giroud and find out their French maestro has more to his game than meets the eye""

giroud can actually battle against the premiership defence very old school, strong like an ox.
