What do we need and who we should buy? It is the question that everyone thinking about right now. With less than 2 days left before the markets open and the transfers start, new players in new teams. One of these teams is Arsenal who did announce on many occasions that they thinking about buying but never told who is going to be bought so I decided to give you all the possible transfers that Arsenal could make:

1- A new Goalkeeper:
Most of the season Almunia has failed to impress with his inconsistent performance, we did concede 10 goals from 20 goals as Goalkeeper mistakes, this is really a big percentage for a Top 4 goalkeeper. I don’t know if David James has these numbers but anyway my point is we need to do something about the goalkeeper. We have to sign a new one or maybe if Fabiansky can make the step up or maybe Almunia starts to show improvement before the end of January transfers. So if we are going to sign a keeper, I can see that Arsene Wenger prefers the goalkeeper to be old and have plenty of experience so in my head one name and that is Shay Given if he is available.

2- A new Center Back:
With Djourou out I can see we have three defenders (Vermaelen, Gallas and Silvester) because the fourth is useless (Senderos). Even when the three others are starting in the first team line-up, he can’t make it to the subs bench. I don’t know if he can make it to the reserves team seriously! I don’t know what is he good for? The best option is to sell him and bring someone else. I think Sol Campbell who has been training with us for last 3 months will be useful as a free agent.

3-A new Midfielder:
As a replacement to Song who will be out in January. Fabregas and Denilson both are injured so we have to see when they will come back and asses them how much the injuries affected them. In the worst scenario, we will buy but I really doubt it since Ramsey, Merida, Diaby, Song and Denilson have all improved and that they are quality players. The candidates that we might sign are: 1- Matuidi who we did chase last summer but Arsene Wenger decided to give Song, Denilson and Diaby a chance to prove their quality and they did it. 2-Felipe Melo, the player that we went on war with Juventus to sign. The good think about him is that he can play also as Center Back so it will be very good for the depth of the team. 3-Patrick Vieira, no comment about our old ex-captain because we don’t need one! This signing will help him so he can retire with us. If it comes down to me, I will choose Vieira even if he is not the same but he is the cheaper option and his presence will motivate the players. Also all we need is a player who will fill the gap until Song comeback.

4- A new Center Forward:
The Arsene Wenger dilemma, with RvP having a long term injury, Walcott and Bendtner out to half of January and Eduardo and Carlos Vela not performing well, it is obvious and clear that is the position we are suffering the most and we need to fix it very fast but meanwhile we are the best scoring team with 51goals from 19 games. There are a lot of candidates but still till now no names and nothing is clear. The best option is to wait for the return of Bendtner and Walcott to see how they are going to perform and also wait and give Eduardo and Vela more time. But I think either Henry or Carlton Cole should join us.

Arsene Wenger has never signed four in one transfer window so I don’t think the four signing will happen together but mostly it will be two signings and a striker is absolutely one of those two signings, and the other one maybe it is going a center back.

There have been rumours that Harry Redknapp is after our former captain Patrick Vieira. Now I do not know about you but I would be livid if Vieira were to ever join Spurs! After all Patrick did for us (and I love him to bits) seeing him in a Spurs shirt would literally make me puke! I have a couple of friends who are Liverpool supporters and they feel the same way after Michael Owen signed for Manchester United.

Now I am saying that Vieira was more of an idol at Arsenal than Owen was at Liverpool. Vieira was our captain fantastic whereas Owen just stood in the box for Liverpool and poached a bagful of goals for them and they thought they had a hero. Vieira is one hundred times better the man than Owen so you can imagine how pissed off I would be with Vieira joining Spurs.

To add to this story, the press started to make a mountain out of this story and have pulled Thierry Henry into the equation saying that Henry has advised Vieira to join Spurs! Now how the hell would Henry say such a thing?? If Vieira was Mr. Arsenal then Henry is the Godfather of Arsenal!

I seriously doubt Vieira would be stupid enough to join Spurs, he is not only a better footballer than Owen but I am sure he is also smarter than the scouser!

Reports coming out of Spain today suggest that Real Madrid’s Klaas-Jan Huntelaar could be headed to Arsenal. Now that would be great news for us. We need another world class striker to replace money hungry Adebayor. I believe that a combination of Van Persie and Huntelaar would be amazing. Both are Dutch which would be a huge bonus. Today, Van Persie came out and said that a new striker would strengthen the team. I agree with Van Persie 100%. We may have him, Eduardo, Bendtner and Carlos Vela but a player like Huntelaar would just put the icing on the cake. What are your thoughts on us signing Huntelaar?
