Szczesny finds a pal that will keep people away from his goal.

Looks like the Cech singing is finally going through as the medical will be done today.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33282159 Hopefully a DM next leaving the best 'til last with a top class striker. |

I can only guess it would be because Chesney qualifies as homegrown.
It certainly can't be on ability. Ospina did a fine job for us, his stats for last season are outstanding. |

I quite like Szczęsny and disagree with what you have said about him. Goalkeepers can all go through rough patches but he is top quality and we need to keep supporting him. Flappyhandski got a lot more stick, maybe deservedly so but has come out the other end and had a great season with Swansea.

Yep, a DM is a must now. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get an upgrade on Giroud and think that if (big bold IF), our strikers and Sanchez stay fit, this may be enough to challenge.
I thought he was our star performer last season in a position where players often don't get noticed, and can only see him getting better in the next few years. Flamini is still decent enough as back up, do we have any capable youngsters coming through that would fit this role? |

DM as a first choice replacement for Coquelin or as a backup?

Flamini is still decent enough as back up, do we have any capable youngsters coming through that would fit this role? Flamini's not good enough, imo. If there's any way we can move one or two of him Arteta, and Rosicky on and still get a fee, I'd say do it. |

I'd like to think my footballing heroes had much better taste in music than that.

Chech + Vidal + a top striker would be a good summer, imo.

I think we need another striker otherwise we're relying on Giroud (good as he has been).
Alexis' first season was a blinder, can he do it again? |

That would be an excellent summer if it pans out, especially as it looks like we'll miss Alexis at the beginning of the season.

Wonder if we're in the market for a CB as well as a forward? |

Good news and a good signing to start our summer transfer window!

Wonder if we're in the market for a CB as well as a forward? We still have Gabriel for the CB role, hopefully we'll get to see more of him. Merts is getting on a bit and wasn't the quickest to start with. Forward would be the icing on the cake. Still, I was quite impressed with Walcott through the middle and it's worth trying him a bit more. |

Very relieved to have completed the signing of Cech after what's happened a few times to us in recent seasons. We've got a great chance of challenging for the title now, just need Vidal and a world class striker I feel.

Great, great signing.
Reminds me of when we got Pat Jennings from spuds, after they thought he was finished. |

Relying on Giroud to play well in the top games will inevitably lead to disappointment.
