If we can also get Serge Aurier as all accounts suggest and if we keep TV5 as we should, team already looking much stronger than this year, with Theo back and refreshed.
Also: can we really find another striker that will *guarantee* us 22+ goals next season(with more to come in the last two games, I am sure), can play alone upfront linking up with runners in the physical PL as Olivier has done this year? Remember that Theo also scored 21 the year before, when not injured. With the Theo and Aaron fit, Ox emerging, Ozil at the helm, and Santi, Pod, Thomas, Jack, Arteta, Flam, etc. as useful players in reserve, I would say (controversially on this board, I suspect) that all we may need if we get Martinez and Aurier is adequate cover (not a replacement) for Giroud.
(I would just keep Viviano: 6 caps for Italy for a number 2. What more do we want, really?)
Wenger is only going to get a couple players, let's face it. Splashing big on Javi fits what we did for Ozil.
Welcome to the new Arsenal...
