We spend a whole summer to negotiate one signing and even then it tends to be an outgoing one, and as lovely as some of the youngsters we've secured have been, there've also been some big letdowns - Walcott in particular.

And then there's all of the others who aren't ever given a chance. I think Carlos Vela had the potential to be big but now he's just flung out on loan and left to dry... in favour of Chamakh? Please.

We need a reliable goalkeeper. That is, imo, our primary concern. The midfield and defence are relatively okay (but I would rather have a big name defender too), and we could do with someone of Arshavin and van Persie's calibre up front.

I agree that the pressure will be less for you guys but there is still clearly some problems e.g. the defence not being sorted out. Playing Fabregas and Nasri when they might want to go could cause a negative influence in the dressing room is risky.

You guys definetly need an older and experienced GK but the defence needs a few new players in. Wenger keeps blaming it on the mental side of things from last season for the team but there's only been a slow bit of progress in the window?
