We really need to buy in January and Wenger needs to realise this, there's no depth in our squad, we need that extra bit of quality.
For me it is vital that we sign a good few players in January to secure a top 4 place come May.
Now, top priority player to buy is a striker, ideally one who can play on the wing as well. So, for me, Podolski ticks all these boxes.
Next player we need is a solid full back to come in during are recent defensive injury crisis. I'm gonna go for Taiwo on loan as I've seen it suggested on a previous thread and it sounds like a good idea.
That's the main 2 out the way but we still need to add a few more players. For me it wouldn't be a bad idea to take Henry in for the rest of the season, as he's still a quality player and could bag us goals.
Finally as a luxury I would like a playmaker. I really feel Ramsey has far too much pressure on his shoulders and I still don't think he's quite good enough yet. Now I'm not too sure who to get for this position. I did want Marvin Martin in the summer but I'm not too sure how well he's done so far this season, but I'd still take him.
If it wasn't already obvious, it is now.

i agree there. he's very inconsistent. and he only ever seems to shine in low-pressure enviroments - he never got more than ten goals a season at bayern.

I think he was quite often played as a winger in Bayern so his goal scoring tally would naturally go down.

We don't need Cahill and he's overrated.

I think a creative midfielder is more important then a striker. We all know if fabregas still played for us we would have won today. I think that's the reason we haven't battered teams often this year

I agree with all your points TADWS... except that I think we are overrating Podolsky a tad (I hope I am wrong)
Would seriously LOVE Hazard to come in....would really mean that we are showing some ambition. If Hazard playis then I think we can do with Yossi/ Aaron as AMC since Hazard would also provide a lot of creativity (similar to Mata) from the wing , and can always be played centrally if necessary. HOnestly, Hazard would be the PERFECT player for us. For once, lets nto go on som bargain hunting scheme and actually show some ambition. The last time we did that , we gto Arshacin, who essentially kept us in 4rth place that season through some frankly amazing performances.

So out of everyone who's read this article, the mutual feeling is that we don't need to buy anyone. That's what I gather from the ratings anyway.

Yeah if Fab played , we would have won....but not necessarily fo rhis passing ability but ratehr his prowess in front of goal IMHO. This is why taking Yossi off was incredibly moronic

We need a striker desperately IMO. For now a creative midfielder is a luxury IMO.

No, no you are right OP. I agree with you. But we have different opinions is who we should buy. For me please: A striker, an attacking midfielder and Cahill. Cahill only if we get him out of Chelsea's hands.
