Might as well share my transfer window hopes.
Chalrton is easy so I'll start with them.
Out: Entire Squad
In: Norwich's Entire Squad
On to the Arsenal.
Out
Alumnia - If you don't know why, you don't belong in this thread.
Arshavin - On a team that doesn't give many spots to experienced players he is an absolute waste. Not everyone can be a vocal leader but they can lead by example. With his immense skill he'd provide a great example but he simply can't be bother on most afternoons, evenings, and nights.
Bendtner - It's sad as if he tried a bit harder this wouldn't have to be the case. However, he's gone as far as he can with us. Neither can the club do more for him nor could he do more for the club.
Denilson - He's gone as far as he can with us. Neither can the club do more for him nor could he do more for the club.
Diaby - He's gone as far as he can with us. Neither can the club do more for him nor could he do more for the club.
Fabregas - I think it's time to cash in. I'm not sure he's the type of guy to protest with his play but he wasn't close to his exceptional standard this year, maybe the saga is starting to take its toll; let's not let it spread. With Nasri hopefully starting to find his 'Cesc' stride, it might be the perfect place in the replacement cycle.
Rosicky - Past his due date and our limited number of veteran spots need to be fully utilized.
Squillaci - Absolute ####.
Vela - He's gone as far as he can with us. Neither can the club do more for him nor could he do more for the club.
In:
Benzema - Could be a beast that Wegner could unlock.
Hazard - With Nasri moving into the centre of the park we'd need a speedy trickster for the left flank.
Parker - English. Can lead. Can tackle.
Instead of Benzema:
Klose - Would provide much needed experience and ability. If we pursue him we'd need to bring in a younger player for him to tutor and eventually be his replacement.
Lukaku - Although most definitely out of our price range, would be an excellent protégé for Klose.
Wickham - Might be an excellent protégé for Klose.
Just in case:
A competent CB. Maybe Vertonghen?
