FIVE players that Wenger should sign this summer but wont

|

Maarten Stekelenberg

Many believe Wojciech Szczesny is the man for Arsenal between the sticks for many years to come, but for me I’m undecided. Making a move for current Ajax goalkeeper Martin Stekelenberg would give Arsenal that world class keeper that have tried to find since Seaman. All the keepers since the Englishman have hardly been household names, Arsenal fans are crying out for a Iker Casillas or Gigi Buffon, someone who has pedigree behind their name, and the Dutchman can offer them that.

Yoann Gourcuff

With Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri widely expected to leave this summer, the Lyon midfielder could step in to become that playmaker Arsenal will need. The Frenchman has earnt comparisions to Zinedine Zidane for his passing style and all round ability, with David Ginola claiming that Gourcuff is the best French player of his generation. The former AC Milan player can play in the attacking midfielder role but also as a withdrawn striker, something Arsenal could find very useful with regards to finding the ideal striking partner for Robin Van Persie.

Miguel Veloso

Although Arsenal have Alex Song as their strong defensive midfielder, more than one occasion this season the Cameroonian has gone missing. Veloso would bring consistency with regards to crucial interceptions and forceful tackles, as well as that leadership quality Arsenal have lacked for several seasons. Another bonus of signing the Portugese international is, rather surprisingly, he is a very accomplished left back, so should Gael Clichy leave this summer, the former Benfica player could be a candidate to replace the Frenchman.

    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.
