So who would you clear off in the summer?

So who would you clear off in the summer?

Post by spendsum4uckingmoney »

For me:

Bendtner,
Diaby,
Sagna,
Vermaelen,
Chu Young,
Falpyhandski
Arteta
Cazorla
Podolski

I don't think Sagna and Caz's hearts are in it. Also I feel we need a freshen up, a new RB and some pace is desperately needed. I thought about putting Giroud on the list but that would literally leave us with no strikers, whereas right now we are only playing with metaphorically 10 players.

Arteta is also a slug. Have no idea why we gave Ros a new deal though.

I say bring in: Reus, Lukaku, Draxler plus a rb, GK and cb.

1. Wenger - but if Inspector Clueless does stay I think our first signing should be David Dein. Might help reign the *word censored* in a little AND over see the signings of some proper players !

2. Gazidis

3. The medical team

4. (See Below)

flappy
bendtner
sanogo
arteta
monreal
gibbs
vermaelen
the mid-field *word censored* with the back injury (forget his name - though I'm sure some one will know! :roll: )
giroud

that's just for starters

"Clear out" Vermaelen??? He may well wish to move but how good are you realistically expecting your back-up CBs to be?

Also the answer to this depends if you mean who should we clear off or who do you hope goes? Because if you're being realistic and meaning the latter you have to accept that quality replacements are not coming.

I doubt Verm would want to stay another season. I also worry about the lack of young legs at the back.

Agree with pretty much all on that list but we won't get Reus if we fail in our 6 final VT hunt. Chavs will know that Ozil could become to a Lukaku what DB10 was to all our forwards because Ozil just needs a good striker and we will see assists galore.
Draxler I can see happening but I thnk we need a solid midfielder like Schneiderlin and he knows the league wouldn't cost a lot either.

Get Costa and we're sorted. Then beef up the midfield with Luiz Gustavo to give us the physical presence and steel we've been crying out for forever.
