That little wish list above would be perfect. I have this dreadful feeling that we won't be signing a striker though.

Silver lining though, it'd still be the best window under Wenger if Benatia, Xhaka and Mickey came in... yay?

No.

Striker is IMPERATIVE.

Of the 4 positions, if one was to be skipped, the winger would be the one I would go without because we can let Iwobi develop there ala Martial at ManU.

Knowing Wenger though we are probably getting Xhaka and some other 5M guy this transfer window.

Not world class! But a very solid CB 90% of the time, too bad he always seems to be injured and Bayern have too many of those already...

Alexis only played 294 minutes as CF for Arsenal.
Alexis can work as a striker but not in the current system.

You can see it though can't you... even with Welbeck's injury. You just know it's still a possibility.

Alexis as a CF is a terrible signing. He can already be very frustrating on the wings, imagine if he is your sole striker that has to deliver goals consistently? He'll get the Giroud treatment sooner than later.

I'm thinking someone like Manolas would be better for this reason alone
