You have just signed yourselves one **** of a keeper and warrior. Been a pleasure Cech.
 
I'll just leave this here.

Very ballsy if Wenger goes into next season with Corzola and Coq as the CM 2. Or stupid!?

Really doubt that will happen. Both done extremely well and Coquelin deserves his starting spot for next season, but the way he plays he will be injured during season (nose).
 
To be honest I do think the Cech signing is getting a bit overhyped by Arsenal fans (moreso on other places), he's a good signing no doubt but in my view you already have good keepers, Ospina for example just look at his recent performance against Colombia.

In my view if you are serious about challenging title you can't go into a season relying on Coquelin, if he gets injured you're back with Flamini most likely.

You definitely need to still strengthen in a few key areas, striker, CM (guessing you've just been outmatched in fee/wages for Schneiderlin because he is exactly what you needed ). Still not entirely convinced with your CB situation either if I'm honest.

Cech is huge improvement on GK department and a really good signing. Ospina while good goalkeeper is just a good goalkeeper while Cech is excellent.

I agree Coquelin alone isn't enough and I'm quietly hoping we will see news about Flamini being sold soon.

According to reports Schneiderlin is getting 150k with Utd and hefty signing bonus and he just isn't worth that for us. I really think we are still in for midfielder and a striker and hopefully those will be top shelf purchases. CB signing isn't needed at all. Koscielny as an individual is perhaps currently the best CB in the league and I think Gabriel will take his place alongside him next season and they will prove to be a tough unit.

Still talks of Lars Bender, but he would be more pricey then Schniederlin after signing a new contract last summer.

I hope you're not taking that from Tim Payton, all the sources I believe say it's £100k.

We need a new defensive mid (not Vidal), but the other two positions are a bit tricky. Striker - only if top guy is available, othewise it'd be a waste of money for little to no improvement.

I'm not convinced about CB situation either, but why buy another CB before Gabriel and Chambers get a chance to prove themselves?

I'd rather get that Polish guy from Sevilla.

Krychowiak, yes. He'd probably be happy(-ish) to be rotation option and I imagine wages'd be quite low too. He's also very similar to Coq in style, only stroger.

He would be instant starter imo. Already better or as good as anything you have now. Would not sign to sit on bench.

Would need to earn his place on the field first. Still if I remember correctly he has a £21mil release clause and Sevilla have no problem selling their players as seen with the Bacca going to Milan now. I'd still rather get Vidal then Krychowiak as I don't think we need 2 specialist DM's.

I don't think theres a chance with Vidal. Not with Pirlo gone and Pogba going. If you sign he should be starter, he is lightyears ahead of Coq!
