Dempsey
M'Vila
Vertonghen
Estimated cost: £40-50m
They are realistic targets.
Podolski-------RVP--------Walcott
------------Wilshere-----------
--------Song--------M'Vila------
Gibbs-------Verm-Kosc-----Sagna
------------Szczesny----------
Bench: Fabianski, Vertonghen, Santos, Arteta, Rosicky, Chamberlain, Dempsey
That would be my first choice team. Pretty awesome.
Now look at each position:
Striker: RVP, Podolski, Dempsey, Afobe, Campbell (if he gets a permit)
Wings: Podolski, Walcott, Chamberlain, Gervinho, Dempsey, Miyaichi
AM: Wilshere, Rosicky, Chamberlain, Ramsey, Dempsey, RVP
CM: Song, M'Vila, Vertonghen, Coquelin, Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere
LB: Gibbs, Santos, Vermaelen
CB: Vermaelen, Koscielny, Mertesacker, M'Vila, Vertonghen, Song
RB: Sagna, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Coquelin, Yennaris
GK: Szczesny, Fabianksi, Martinez
That's crazy depth. It also offers huge tactical variance. If we entered next season with this team I'd happily keep Wenger as manager even if he insisted on conducting his business in a Gunnersaurus costume.
It's not as far fetched as it seems.
3 Players Away From An Incredible Squad

it wouldnt make any sense at all to sign dempsey 29 and where would he play for us?

He would probably get a lot of games off the bench as well as performing the role that Benayoun currently does.

I'd love for us to sign Dempsey because he's a tenacious fighter with an eye for goal, and you can't put a price on how valuable that is for a team. I kinda wonder now if it is a possibility.

dempsey on our a left wing? where would our wingers play?

It's all about substitutions. Have you forgotten what it's like having the likes of Wiltord, Ljungberg and Kanu on the bench?

Dempsey would play am surely. He'd be like a second striker to the loneman up front and a refreshing alternative to the albeit brilliant Rosicky. But a midfield with Song, M'Villa (if he signs), Coquelin, Wilshere, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Diaby and Dempsey too?
Seems a little packed.

If we sign M'Vila Diaby will go. Unfortunate, but that's the way I see it.

Unless he believes 100% that Diaby's career cannot be resurrected, he'll keep the faith I reckon.

I think we can give up on Diaby resurrecting his career. Sad but true.

We can't keep spending money on a player who cannot play. At least RVP always showed enough to let us know he could do it.
