Looks like this one's been done any how - opinions vary, I would like to think that AW will set his sights higher - others woud have him.

The season was not a disaster, and I would be surprised if we bought more than three players.

But the right three players could make a huge difference.

I think the three players Quartz talks about will be a significant addition to the squad as long as they are proven talent of the highest level!

I do not however include Vela in that three as by rights he is ours anyway!

The only statistic that counts is the trophies won statistic

What do people have against Bullard? He did good at Wigan and was doing great for Fulham, he was in the top five of the fantasy league because of his goals and assists, before his injury.

I don't think he's worse than Barry, a player you all seem to be happy to have. Just because Bullard isn't an International doesn't make him crap, it just means that McClaren and Sven weren't very good.

Our previous premiership titles came about not only through the likes of Henry, Pires and Vieira but from good squad players like Edu, Parlour and Wiltord. In all the Big games this season we did well dominating United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Milan and all the rest. Most of the time the problem lay in not being able to hold on to the lead. That problem is usually solved with a good supporting cast, rather than a new star.

Bullard would make a great addition to our side if we bought him. Certainly better than Yaya Toure and Makoun, who we'd lose to African Nations duties every two years if we signed either of them.

Nobody has anything againt him........in fact I think people are glad he is back as he is a good footballer and a great character!

However that is not enough to warrant a place at Arsneal!

We have GREAT footballers........ Everton have GOOD ones!
