he's not in olympiakos' squad for tomorrow either. was alright in the WC but haven't seen him other than that. i hope this doesn't mean no CM signing either.

I've only seen him in the world cup too.
I doubt it would stop a CM signing as he would probably just be a replacement for vermaelan
Really really hope wenger does not just by a defender who can play as CDM and think 'great, that position is covered' - then play arteta/flamini/new defender in rotation..
Just give ramsey a proper first team partner who is capable of the job.
What about the games in which Arsenal benefitted from questionable referring decisions in that run, I bet you weren't complaining then. Pires diving to win a penalty and admitting to it afterwards comes to mind. Or how about the Arsenal players being thugs in the 0-0 the previous season, lucky not to have had points deducted for that embarassing behaviour.
Rooney did dive to win a penalty, but this stonewall penalty was not given. Convenient how everyone forgets that:
Pires denies to this day that he ever dived...(obviously he did but whatever, it was the 40th minute or so, no guarantee we wouldn't have scored later on anyway). RvN should himself have been sent off in that game, loads of arsenal players got bans after that game you seem to have conveniently forgotten (also no one gets points deductions for unprofessional behaviour, otherwise Suarez would have stopped liverpool getting Europe).
Let's look at the incidents in that game (3 red cards united should have had: RvN, Ferdinand last man challenge, neville hatchet job on Reyes.

We've done so well in the market this year and just need two more players. A quality DM and a decent CB. That's all really.

I think Wenger is going to try to convert Chambers to CDM, as he has the pace and natural defensive ability to do the role as well, and it also opens up the CB role to the naturally sluggish Mertesacker. That way we can play a high line AND have Mertesacker sitting back without every counter attack ending in a goal against us. I would rather Wenger focuses on a CF than a CDM, as that is still a role we give to either Giroud or Sanogo. As far as we have had 3/4 games ending in a total massacre against us, we have had far too many games where we scrape a 1-0 or 2-1 victory. We need goals as much as need defence.
Definitely those two...and then for a full on triple/quadruple...or at least CL challenge, another winger for backup to TW. Last year, without him, we hugely suffered. We got Sanchez (awesome), but that's one wing...we need another winger...
that would be ideal...DM, CB, and a winger! (I think strikers we are sorted atm...so long as Campbell goes on to play as he has!)

Are you cereal? We're so stacked in midfield it's not even funny. I'd rather go out and buy a striker then get another Winger.
I agree, though I would throw in another striker if we really want to push forward.. Giroud/Sanogo are still worrying, and sanchez is great, but if he gets injured, I really dont want to be facing city/united/liverpool with giroud leading the line..
