so unless we offload some players no transfer activity for us and you have to admire the depth to our squad for keeping us going when most of our major hitters are out injured.....BUT a few questions need asking I feel about certain players the obvious being that jenks loan deal that cannot be terminated must never be made permanent which is a given...actually feel sorry for the lad as on the one hand he signed a nice 5 year deal with the gooners before being loaned back but must of realised almost immediately that he will not be back here next season and the thought of bench warming if he gets that close for the gooners has him wondering where the hell he will be next season and I think this has had a lot to do with his level of performance this time round.....Song is another and I hope he does not get a permanent contract...not impressed by him(my opinion)and the wages he wants well there is better out there a lot younger and cheaper shelvey for one would do very nicely that's if he does not get taken in this window and we can get him in summer....Zarate get rid of him if we get cash that's a bonus.....moses of course another expensive loan blows hot and cold but with the end of the season it is clear slav wants his mate from besiktas gokhan toure(forgive the spelling)so he will be gone...samuelsen will be loaned out again he needs the games and experience and he is proving a great pick up citehs loss is our gain.....as for Valencia the guy needs to toughen up a bit he has all the attributes of a great player but seems to have a personality that if he gets tackled hard he stays on his arse moaning looking around for help from the ref when nothing comes he goes into his shell.....slav tell him to grow a set and get on with it......well that's my opinion you all have yours lets hear them

I agree jenks,song,moses all loans so none of them a great loss.Zarate if he could just pass the bloody ball from time to time ;) i would keep but not fussed either way.Gokhan tore & sam byram, as others have stated will defo strengthen the squad.Agree also about samuelson defo one for the future...valencia blows hot & cold so all in all its looking good...

Mcbikeman, agree with a lot of what you say. Can't however agree with your jenks reasoning, if true totally unprofessional of him! Song has a few more months to prove himself but If he can't it's bye bye Alex. Zarate I'd keep if he is a team player but he has had years to prove that. Can't agree with shelvey so overrated I think we will get a better player than him, we already have 2 better in that role! Jack Sullivan says we are looking for a 20 goal a season striker next summer. They are as rare as rocking horse sh1t but if true then that has to be a striker who costs 20 to 30mill. I can see that being Bony. Tore looks a good bet and altho I know little about byram he would fit as the signing that rivals the Antonio signing this season and cresswell last season. If we send jenks and Moses back. Off load zarate, keep Lanzini and get the players mentioned along with some back ups we will be well tasty
