Everyone is predicting the usual Arsene Wenger transfer activity, making promises that there will be changes but come the final minute of deadline day, Le Professeur will either sign an unknown, and lets face it, pointless squad player, or no-one at all.
Like so many transfer windows before, there are potential signings that are ideal for Arsenal and staring Wenger in the face, with fans, ex-players and pundits all calling for the Frenchman to open up the cheque book, but in his usual stubborn way, Wenger refuses and Premier League rivals snap up the perfect signing for the Gunners instead.
Here are the five players I think the Frenchman should sign, to which he will reply ‘I did not see them’.
Scott Parker
The West Ham midfielder has stated his desire to return to the Premier League following the Hammers relegation and will face no shortage of admirers, including Tottenham Hotspur. Surely the pleasure of getting one over your fiercest rivals in the transfer market is incentive enough, before you even consider the positives Parker would bring. The former Chelsea midfielder would add all the attributes this current Arsenal squad has been criticised for not having: experience, passion and strength in the middle of the park.
Gonzalo Higuain
Reportedly available for £15 million as Mourinho looks to fund his own transfer spree, Higuain is the perfect striking partner for Robin Van Persie. The Argentinian has an impressive goal scoring record for Real Madrid and has all the attributes of a world class finisher, something Nicklas Bendtner and Marouane Chamakh seriously lack. The forward would happily share the goal scoring burden that has rested solely on Van Persie in the second half of the season.

Get Given 12m, Samba 12m, Hazard 18m, Higuain 15m. Total 57m. Sell Fab 40m, Bendtner 8m, Denilson 8m, Rosicky 5m, Squilaci 4m, Almunia 3m. Total 68m meaning we’d be 11m in pocket and with 4 great signings.
I would also promote Frimpong, Afobe, Aneke and Ryo. and get rid of Vela & Lansbury who unfortunately aren’t quite good enough to make it at Arsenal.

Wenger will definitely not sign Scott Parker and to be frank, I don’t think we really need him. Sure he had a good season with West Ham, but they still went down and his performance against Switzerland wasn’t awe inspiring and we really don’t need another injury prone player, if I was Wenger, I’d look somewhere else. Schezny is really good and will be our number 1 for the years to come, his performance against France today was spectacular. We just need to sign 1 center defender, Cahill would be nice, Baines at left back a left winger and some back up for Song and play Walcott as a striker, he got 11 goals from the wing,he’ll be fantastic upfront.
