Defender.
But then he might be talking **** i suppose.
Can't see that happening. And we will sign a midfield player of some sorts
I think we might sign a midfielder. I also think he could do other things if they come up.
We seem to have the money if something special pops up.
Almunia i can't see him becoming No.1. Although he'll still get every domestic cup game and the odd european game.
Agree on the midfielder too. Seems there was interest in Khedira and the fact we've tried to get Gustavo last year and Bender before that shows we're after one.
Pure AW
But he might still bring in a centre back.
"It's not especially for numbers. We need a goalkeeper for sure and after that it depends on how our midfielders get through without injuries until the start of the season."
Might as well give the exact quote
Who is this Chris Willock, though? Could be like a new signing.
Arsene knows Arteta needs replacing, if not this summer then certainly next. I suppose it's a choice between doing it now or doing it then. If he can get the player he wants now then i imagine he'll probably do it. And as i said below, we've tried to sign a more defensive minded midfielder the last two seasons (Gustavo and Bender) so are almost certainly looking to improve in that area of the pitch.
As for Diaby, Arsene has already said he can't manage a game every three days, so relying on him is just silly.
It's over. We're done. Finito.
Maybe a new right back too because Jenkinson is being sold/loaned.
But might buy one for quality?
