Potential squad for 2013/14 season

[samueltaylor6]

Just joined the site so thought I'd contribute (after being the honorary 200th member) and try to freshen things up a bit. Going to start by seeing if I can spark some sort of chat/debate and just get various people's viewpoints and ideas for a *realistic* squad for the 2013/14 season by asking a few questions.

As of today, in the very early hours of July 13th, 2013:

A) What are the signings you would like to see brought in? Let's just say, for argument's sake, we were to have a transfer budget of £70mil for all players brought in from this point onward, up until the close of the window in September.

B) Are there any youngsters you would like to see given a chance in the first team, be it the 'Capital One Cup', FA Cup, or just a general run in the side... maybe used a bench/impact/squad player, possibly picking up game-time by coming on in the 75th minute of a comfortable 3-1, 7.45pm, midweek, at home to Hull (Dec 3rd, for those asking)?

C) Any other thoughts regarding squad selection and playing staff. Players to go out on loan? If so, where and why? Players to be used in different positions? E.g. the idea of Vermaelen playing a DM role? Or a possible left side of Nacho at LB and Gibbo playing in front of him? Anything.

Anyway, first time doing this so go easy on me, and eachother for that matter, we're all AFC lest we forget.

Suarez around the 35 mill would be great , fabregas for 25 , if not possible then Fellaini , we need a new cb for cover so one for around the 10 mill say Williams , I know that's the 70 mill spent but people are saying that arsenal could comfortabley spent 100 so I think they should go for a keeper around the price and experience of Caesar to guide szcecseny , and I would love to see higuain brought in too although it is prity much impossible that we will bring in two top quality strikers but you never know,

From youth I would promote gnabry, eisfeld and Ryo, I think akpom is still too young but is one to watch and I would give him and zelalem who I was really impressed with yesterday a game maybe early on in the carling cup.

Here's to hoping The Arsenal bring in a few of those names, or else me and my axe may not be able to help ourselves and go on another rampage

I also think that most of our buys must beade from withing the premier leage as so there is no adaption period needed and all our players are 100% ready to go from their first game as to quickly capitalise on the big changes made at the other clubs , if The Arsenal can do that and get an early kick start we would be in for a great chance of the title as we always finish strong and I often wonder where'd we be if we could start strongly too ! Fabregas would be prem ready as he played there for so long , I don't think higuain would have massive problems adapting to the English games because he is strong and experienced at a top club with many international games and CL appearances which would help has he's played against a mix of teams.

First of all I'd like to see Fellaini and Cesar to help with the defense. Then of course, Cesc and Higuain.
I know 70 doesn't cover it, but it'd be perfect to get players like Suarez and Hummels.

I wouldn't of course mind Capoue, Bernard (if we sell Gervinho), and Williams.

Although I'm trying hard to be patient and optimistic, as things stand, I'd be happy with only two good signings (knowing how Arsenal operate in transfer windows).

I would certainly be very happy if we could finally get rid of the deadwood we still have - Bendtner, Chamakh and Park.

Cheers

the clearout so far has been nothing short of amazing, cutting 2 players who were still contracted to the club is something i thought id never see

Chamakh did and in the podcast i gave him goal of the season award for the 7th goal where he lobbed the goalie
