    Would be nice but wouldnt make that much difference

    I think we need to strengthen elsewhere as well to make a leap in performance. It isnt an overnight thing.

    Our defense has improved tremendously 2nd part of last season.

    I believe at some point we had the best record defensively for the last part of the season.

    We need someone putting in 20+ goals a season.

    Our record in the bigger games was terrible we need to tighten this up and have a star who can turn around a tight game on his own imo

    We had van Persie but we only got the best of him for one year.

    I think a few results might have been different last year had we had Higuain up

    Front. Might have been the difference between 4th and 2nd.

    I don't consider the current Chelsea side that far away from us.

    Though it will be interesting to see what they will do.

    We can strengthen other areas. Keeper for one and midfield but we are not far off at all imo.

    Right, but a serious challenge would need to change more than a few results wouldnt it

    A distant second is nice but not exactly the holy grail.

    More a small hop than leap.

    New striker would help immensely.

    New midfield option also.

    We need at least 5 players. Not sure Wenger agrees though or even cares.

    Two big signings could make a big difference

    Not cheap though. I dont see us challenging this year but it would be nice to see us take a step forward.
