Ok so the January transfer window is open, and has been for a number of hours now, and, let’s face it, we are all hoping to see a lot happen at Arsenal this month, even if it is just offloading the deadwood.
Arsene Wenger has been told he has considerable funds to utilize this transfer window. However, the Frenchman has once again spoke his famous words during this time of the year, saying he will only spend if he finds an exceptional talent who can enhance the side.
As per usual, a dozen names or so have been linked with a move to The Emirates this winter – Wilfried Zaha, Adrian Lopez, Luke Shaw and Arda Turan are to name but a few on the list.
However, only time will tell if Wenger will answer the fans calls of adding to an already talented squad this January transfer window.
But I would like to know who you guys would like to see Arsenal sign and sell within the next 30 days?

Sign Luke Shaw, Adrian, Wilfried Zaha, and Christian Tello. Sell Santos, Squillachi, and Chamak. If David Villa could come in on loan that’d be great but £16m is just too much for a 31 year old. Holtby seems like a thing for the summer but getting him in January would be a good move if possible. Also Arda Turan would be a good signing but I don’t see it happening.

Would be good to have a clear out of following. Squillaci, djourou, santos, diaby, denilson, arshavin.
Chamakh.
Free up some wages for pepe reina experiences goalie to challenge.
Luke shaw for left back or baines but probably wont happen.
Need some bite in the middle at last. Maybe m’villa on cheap or.moussa sissoko before newcastle.get in! Regret missing out on cabaye! Dream would be feillani but wont happen.
Up top forget llorente on free as giroud is coming good and we do not need another chamakh! Maybe adrian after the gem finding in cazorla, villa would begreat but age not on side.

I think all d players on d waiting list is d best 4 arsenal presently, if sagna wont sign a new deal then he should be sold, adrian lopez, zaha,arda, these guys are young and fit 4 arsenal. I think ds is wot we deserve and also our left bak should be changed if we can get luke shaw dat wud be better. But arsenal should get adrian lopez,arda turan, and luke shaw. Walcot is on the breach of leavin,sagna also, we shud mk ready a replacement 4 them.

On todays performances against lowly Southampton We need a leader on the pitch more than anyone. The workrate in the midfield is and has been this season is so poor. I would love to see what the training is. Every team we play out work us. So a ball winner is paramount (M’villa). Jenkinson needs to play more at right back as Sagna has lost it. A real striker (lopez)perhaps as Walcott will only ever be a No2 striker in a 41212 formation. Not in a million years is he a main striker. We need a core through the heart of the team. At the moment we look second best to every midfield. We need to get shot of Gervinho, Sagna,and even Walcott if he wont sign. Please replace them with players that want to play for our great club.

get sagna out he was useless!! gervinho out , santos out squillaci out , fabianski out, bendtner out , chamakh out , park out. Then bring in shaw, a decent striker like adrian, bring in another right back – coentrao??, bring in winger like david villa – bring in shaw, and a defensive midfielder like m’vila then ur done mr wenger

Wenger has said it is harder to break these sides down now. Man utd, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs Have no trouble braking them down and keep up there. They spend money to improve and keep players happy on the bench. We cant keep our top players because we have nothing to offer them now. very dissapointed!!!

Turan, Villa not Lopez! A holding midfielder, probably m’villa and then I won’t mind leighton baines, Gibbs is not Arsenal quality.. I won’t mind Nani too judging by the fact that we have no game changers on d bench, which means we always resort to Ramsey and Gervinho.. Chamakh, Arshavin, Johan, Squillaci and Santos should be sold!

We must mean business in our signings, LB-Baines, CDM M’biwa/Biglia/strootman/mvila/capoue, ST- Ba, CM-Turan. Don’t forget there is Bayern ahead, and top 4 won’t be as easy as in the past!!

Out : Chamakh, Arshavin, Park, Djorou, Squid, Santos, Diaby.
IN : NO One…Cos wenger wont spend…LOL…
In : Gotze (But Chelsea will bid and buy him), Turan (Will end up in Liverpool),
Huntelaar (Might join us and leave to Man U once he becomes the top scorer in the league – Since he is Dutch!!!)
Fellaini ( Would really love to see him join us as he will link up play with arteta – Not going to happen)
Demba Ba – Cant see him Leaving Newcastle for now if he does – He might be another andy Caroll!!!
My Question – We have Giroud, Walcott, Gerv, Pod, OX, – In this case, who is going to lead the line? We basically don’t really need a striker…Nor a midfielder…We need 2 players – one leftback and One rightback. We can score goals. but defending is Very Very Poor. This will help us win some titles..well the FA Cup is all we have to hope for now…Remove Sagna and give Jenkinson a Chance…He has played better this season…then we are left with choosing between gibbs and Santos- Give gibbs a slap and ask him to concentrate when he is on the field on Defending. we can then start winning more games.
MAN C – Here we come!!!
RVP – RIP – I hate u….not because u left…BECAUSE U LEFT TO MAN U!!!! I would have loved u if u left for any other team and even gave u a legendary status for your awesome goals for us…BUT NOT TO MAN U!!!

Despite Wenger is too Arrogant, and too stubborn to listen to experts and critics , let alone fans, but pressure must be kept on him till he gives in .
Ins : Another and more reliable ; Goal Keeper , Central Defender, Creative or holding Midfielder, Instinctive goal scorer .
Outs ; Mannone, Fabiansky, Djourou, Santos, Schillaci, Areteta, Schamack, Denilson, Bendtner, Arshavin, Park)
Also change the system of play to ( according to the opponents) : 5-3-2 , 4-4-2, 5-4-1, so there is no need for Arteta as he is not good enough as a holding midfielder , nor he is as creative midfielder, that is to to say he is no way near the form of ( Viera, Fabrigas, Parlour, even Gilberto Silva or Y. Toure, Lampard, R. Kean, Gerard, Felleini) who play in his role and this is why Arsenal are so moderate this season as they do not have a Pivotal figure who could galvanize the team and lead by his skills and personality.

The sins of the past will always come back to hurt you. over the years we concentrated on cheap, not quality.we can still manage the situation if,we do the right thing.How,buying quality.
players In:Butland, Demba ba, arda Turan,strootmano or m’villa
players Out: manone,fanbiaski,santos,djourou,squilaci,Denilson,diaby,ramsey,coquelin,chamakh,ashavin,gevinho and Bendtner. realistically these payers will not give anything meaningfull to arsenal.
