I'd say you need a striker and a CB more. You could definitely do better than Mertesacker and Vermaelen seems to have gone off the boil.

Don't worry lads, when he experiences a couple of years experiencing no trophies a realising he is much bigger than the club, someone like us will come and nab him 
or City
or City Mertesacker is a strange one. I agree he's not the best individually, but when he doesn't play, all hell breaks loose. He's solid and knows where to stand, which is what we need. He's one of these players that would never be sold upwards, but he's fine. I'd be comfortable just knowing we had some back up for him.
DONE DEAL, according to BILD.
Apparently Arse are also looking into Draxler, dont know how true this is. Seems like they want a pretty german team.
Documentation being signed, announcement in coming hours.
Arsenal have got quite an attack now it seems.
If you want to talk about potential, then why not take Kagawa's potential as well?Speechless
Ok fine, his potential isn't as high as theirs and he's a few years older than them. Christ!
If Giroud can deliver and Podolski can stay fit the entire season, they can certainly dominate that 4th place spot
Wilshere, rosciky, Ozil and Carzola should be something to watch.
I'm still surprised that one of the oil rich clubs haven't come in for him.
Ozil is another Nasri. Like Anderson hardly lasts a full game.
I'm just happy that Ozil, should he arrive, will knock Rosicky out of the team. He's the king of style over substance and not really doing very much.
The story is (if I'm right):
Perez and Wenger agreed on the transfer in principle after the Higuain deal was botched. The sale of Ozil was dependent on Bale completing the move from Spurs and Perez basically assuring Wenger that he'd reject any other deals for the player. That's why the PSG bid was rejected by Madrid as well this morning. Added to that Utd was prepared to offer him 5m/year in wages and Arsenal 7m.
Walcott and the Ox as well. Pace and creativity everywhere.
It's because they've overloaded their squads with early panic buys.
joking?
Except he's much better at everything than Nasri. Except at looking like a middle-aged lesbian.
He could do more in 70 minutes than most players can do in 90. It is a frustrating thing to have but he is very good to have in the squad nonetheless. It is one of his only true weaknesses as an AM.
I can't believe we didn't go for him and RM sold their best player after CR
Winding up, Pete
I'll allow it.
Germany is the new France.
We're finally about to sign some midfielders and Arse have to swoop in and outdo us, the bastards.
You have Carzorla. Defence and a ST are more pressing concerns.
This feels like doomsday. Us signing midfielders, not one but two, and Arsenal actually spending big money on an undoubtebly world class player.
I wonder why we don't want him....
This is the longest medical ever.
I can see it in his eyes that he knows the 10-year plan amongst some other nonsenses
The doctors are baffled by his eyes.
That's just wrong, very very wrong. I understand if someone prefers Özil because of his style, he's clearly the more spectacular player but there's not much between them. Götze is a different talent and if his bad luck with injuries ever stops, he'll surpass both of them easily.
Not just style but actual productivity on the pitch, Ozil is MILES ahead. Kroos is not a very good comparison anyway as he's not an out and out AM like Ozil is.
What's your opinion on Draxler Balu? I've heard some say he is a bigger talent then Gotze.
Cheers Balu, was hoping for some backup from the German posters.
Arsernal has signed the very best attacking midfielder in the market, I still can't accept that we are doing nothing about it! I can now picture Giroud scoring tons of goals from Ozil assists! Can't believe we have miss that one out!
According to Bild this will be officially announced at 4.30pm UK time. Just under 10 minutes to go...
42m is more than City spent on anybody isn't it?
