?The window is there. We?re Arsenal. Now, we have to be looking at it,? he told assembled media this week.
?Okay, what do we need? We have to be actively looking. And then can we do it or not? That?s a different story, but our job is to always be very prepared because something can happen. So, hopefully [it will be] very positive.?
So what's on the shopping list? A full back, perhaps? One that can cover both sides.
A central midfielder with potenital - someone to cover Rice.
A left winger?
Midfield must be top of the list as the next injury pile up so I guess a new midfielder would be good.Quote:

But then I am basing that on previous Januarys. Maybe Berta has other ideas.
I wouldn't be surpirsed if we bring in this Bouaddi from Lyon. Seems to be one of the most promising in the world and assume the club would like a potentially appreciating asset.Quote:

I think he?ll hold on to Martinelli until the summer. Think he?d prefer to flog Jesus before him. I?d also like to see another midfielder come in, we?re buggered if anything happens to both Rice & Zubi, although Norgaard was quite tidy when he played midweek.Quote:

A striker that isn't sh*t maybe?
That's a nice idea, JB. Do you have someone in mind? Perhaps tempt City with an offer for Haaland? Or offer Harriman-Anous in swap for Mbappe?Quote:
