Vela & Rojo good younger replacements for Poldi & TV.
Lascalles hot English prospect for the future Kos' long term replacement
Wanyama doesn't fit into Pochettino's new system (little wonder their form dropped since the start )
Benzema our top signing allowing Aguero/Suarez to replace him in Spain
Squad Next Season On A £70m Budget

Good article but I can't see Benzemq living Madrid but would love to have him here, realistically we sign Mandzukic.

Arteta/Flamini should not remain regulars neither should Santi be playing on the wing
--------------------------------
Flamini has been the signing of the season, why do you think our defence have improved so much?! He barks orders and gets others around him shutting out danger.

I would want Wenger out immediately if we ended up with Mandzukic, barely an upgrade on Giroud and we don't need another ineffectual static forward. Average player.
Cavani
D. Costa
Benzema
Falcao
are the only big time strikers I'd want

-----------------
Mesut has for many reasons.
Flamini gave our midfield what it has lacked for years which is some aggression but overall he's more a eye-opener to what we need rather than being the answer himself, he's not a starter for a team trying to win titles.

Vela?
Crazy.

Rojo will never go for £4m.

I think Benzema would be a good signing for Arsenal but don't agree that it would lead to us loosing Suarez or City loosing agureo.

Vela is top quality fantastic finisher with bags of pace. Always looked clinical when given the chance over here too only justification to his sale is search of regular football but Wenger obviously sees his talent hence the inserted clause.
Would rather Vela than splashing £20m+ on a Griezmann or Tello
That front 3 suggests bags of goals and all have pace which Mesut would thrive off.
