We dicked around with Higuain and Suarez in the summer when a more concerted effort could have landed one or the other.
We are on another level to Liverpool, sure, but it's not like every player Arsenal try to land is Ozil.
I'm not that sad we missed out on Higuain. He's not that much different from Giroud imo.
If you look at our squad we don't really require numbers, we require outstanding quality.
Goalkeepers - Szczesny, Flappy, Viviano
Defenders - Gibbs, Monreal, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Sagna, Jenkenson
Midfielders - Rosciky, Cazorla, Chamberlain, Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Arteta, Flamini,
Forwards - Walcott, Gnabry, Podolski, Bendtner, Giroud
That's basically our squad. We are not short on numbers we are short on quality both in defender and forward. You add outstanding talent to that, say Cavani and Kurt Zouma and that's a fucking good squad.
In other words we need a defender who is better than any defender we have and a forward who is better than anyone we have.
