We need, Need, NEED a CM this summer. That's the bare minimum. Every top club in Europe has better CMs than we do.

I'd be fine with Cech continuing for another year. But we cannot lose out on signing a top-class CM.

CM, CB, DM, WF, GK - in that order for me.

Aubameyang


De Vrij looks Inter bound. And you seriously think Barca are gonna spend over 90M on Dembele and sell him 12 months later at 30M loss?

Ndombele looks promising but we need someone more proven and experienced.

Getting a new CM over DM won't solve anything imo.

Any GK even marginally better than Cech
Any CB better than Mustafi
Any 'DM' better than Xhaka

We've sorely lacked a world class CM this decade. Haven't had one since Cesc used to play there before Wenger started using him as a CAM. Cazorla is the closest we got.

Thing is, getting a DM and playing him alongside Ramsey and/or Wilshere (if he stays)?

I know both have his fans but I don't rate either. Wilshere is better as a pure CM, whereas Ramsey excels in a more free CM role that allows him to bomb forward.

We need a DM too, but if it's either/or, we need a CM more I think. Elneny could sub in as a DM. But with Ramsey/Wilshere as our number 1 CM, I can't see us doing anything in the League.

Ideally, our priority must be to buy a CM and a DM, yes.

Wenger will never buy a DM. He doesn't believe in the position. The last time he bought a DM was over a decade ago. He will play Xhaka as the last midfielder. The question is more who he partners Xhaka with.

Potentially the bargain signing of 2018 as his contract expires come June.

I don’t think Ndombele is going on a free

He’s on loan from Amiens and Lyon have the option to buy for €8m

You're right - looks like his contract at Amiens expires in 2020 and not 2018.

I could have sworn reading somewhere his contract was due to expire come the end of the season.

Either way, definitely a player we should be looking at.

Wenger doesn't do powerful athletic players one of the biggest problems in this squad we could use a couple to compliment the likes of Kos and Ozil etc

Bellerin--De Vrij--Koscielny--Monreal

------------Ramsey--Meite-------------------

---------------------Ozil---------------------------

Mkhi----------Auba/PEA------------Gnabry

Time to bring our boy Gnabry home I'm sure Sven rates him too and seeing as Bayern apparently rated Xhaka lol we should offer them a straight swap.
