The Type of Player That We Need.

As a team, I feel that we need around 4 or 5 recruits this year. The priority must be getting rid of Denilson, bringing in a disciplined defensive midfielder, but most importantly, we need a goal-scoring midfielder. This is what we miss most about Fabregas, he covered up for the ineptitude of our midfielders in front of goal. We just need a midfielder who can score (you might say Arteta, but he plays quite deep in the team). Someone to take some of the burden of RVP.

In my opinion we are going to stick with similar midfield but add 1 defensive midfielder. I am confident that podolski can bag close to 20 goals.
====================================
Agreed but I seriously doubt that RVP (even if he stays) will have a similar season! Next season, in the best case I could see him score close to 20 "only".

Sigurdsson or Dempsey are good choices. Although ideally we should be going for Kagawa or Eriksen.
---------------------------------
Agree 100%

We also need to see more goals from those we already have in the squad. I expect to see Chamberlain, Arteta and Wilshere to contribute more goal wise next season, especially if we see a real defensive midfielder join the squad.

Ramsey just needs to get some semblance of form back, before his leg break he liked an accurate shot on goal.

More importantly we need our attackers to score more, Gervinho, Rosicky and to a lesser extent Walcott need more goals.

On a positive note, we now have Podolski

It is hard to see knowing wenger loves ramsey, maybe if we can sort out a loan deal for him then there is a possibility of adding another midfielder.

If RVP stays I think he can build on this season, remember it's his first full season playing week in week out.

A loan deal would be perfect for Ramsey. Some shooting practise wouldn't go amiss either. I reckon that a midfield of Wilshere-Fabregas-Arteta woild have been great.

Defensive Midfielders: M'Vila, Song and Coq

Central Midfielders: Arteta and Wilshere

Attacking Midfielders: Rosicky and Ramsey

I highly doubt that Rosicky can last a whole season and we have all seen that Ramsey is nowhere near Arsenal quality atm and will most likely go out on loan next season.

We should of sorted this out last year when we were reportedly on the brink of signing Mata. This time around I would really like it if we got either Clinton Dempsey or Hernanes. Both are very good techinical players with a great eye for a pass,and both are good goalsscorers from Midfield.

We need someone for Ramsey!
Please Wenger, please

I would to see Ramsey given a clean slate pre-season and hopefully he can prove he is the player we all though he would be when he signed.

I would like to see a tricky, dare I say Nasri esque type just to offer something a little different than we have at the minute.

I am happy to see Wenger bring in more direct players like Chamberlain and Ryo but it would be nice to have a the option of something a little different in a Nasri/Hleb type when we need something else to unlock a defense.

'I would like to see a tricky, dare I say Nasri esque type just to offer something a little different than we have at the minute.'

We definitely need that type of player especially now that Benayoun's leaving, Wenger prefers to play a midfielder on the left wing when we're up against the big teams.
