We need several top class signings this summer and to keep hold of our best players in order to even get something close to a title challenging squad - so basically forget about challenging for the title any time soon.
The best and most we can hope for is that we don't end the transfer window weaker than we started it, something that hasn't happened for several years now.
Sanchez 17 million
Jovetic 20-30 million

Would be perfect summer.
I think Wenger will spend big this summer, Everton will play a big part in who finishes 4th. They play Tottenham, Arsenal & Chelsea away from home and if they pick up points in those games they could well snatch it themselves.

I admire your optimism but in what World do Arsenal sign players like that? Not to mention the inevitable 1st team departures.
Poldi in Giroud's position? No thanks. Wouldnt really change anything. Poldi is not even chosen from Löw in the German national team as a CF when Germany not having an adaquat substitution. I dont know why you and some others insist of Poldi in this position.

Gunner, you really don't like the idea of Podolski up top do you!
Personally I think we've got strikers who'd work best in pairs rather than a front three.
A combination of Giroud/Walcott Pod/Giroud or Pod/Walcott makes so much more sense than playing two of the three out wide and expecting them to be involved with defensive duties as well as offensive ones.

Podolski isn't a lone center forward but he can play with another striker partner, no surprise for me that nobody plays podolski up-front by himself he just doesn't have the ability to do it

That idea is much better
Podolski isn't a better lone striker than Giroud.
As for the OP, imo in terms of quality, we're not THAT far behind. With 2 or 3 quality signings, we could challenge for the domestic trophies. The problem is the mentality, they're a bunch of fairies our lot, all of them. Something needs to be done.
Ogbonna
Capoue (not a big fan of his, but he's the type of player we need)
Jovetic
Sign those three to strengthen our spine and a change of system + some new ideas = huge improvement. Huge improvement.
Easier said than done of course.
Reading might park the Bus today and go for a draw.
Where's the match thread!?
