The rumour is that Juve would sell Vidal to keep Pogba for another season

What's the logic behind that though? They wouldn't want to lose 2 quality CMs in consecutive summers.
Sell Vidal, use the money to try get Pogba to sign on for 3 or 4 more years, including massive sign on bonus.
I think a lot will depend on whether we win champions League. Buffon and Pirlo might retire or move on afterwards and who knows with Pogba. He may feel he wants to try new pastures after winning or he might want to stay and attempt at winning back to back CL.

That's pretty much how I saw it. I tend to ignore rumours unless it's from out wide, which this one seemed to be. Ozil and Sanchez were the same.
So Vidal is a cert, and Cech is a no-hoper?

Ha, in no way.
I guess I look at those like Benzema for example, or Gourcuff, who we are linked to forever and you just know it's not happening and compare it to the Ozil or Sanchez rumours that were out of the blue and then signed and sealed within days.
Would froth if we signed Cech.
Would Wenger spend that much on a GK though? Not sure.
Cech would be £10m-£15m I'm guessing.

Probably not.
But I think we will make another big singing this summer.
I wouldn't be adverse to Coq being the first choice DM, though if a more established name was brought in I wouldn't be against that. We need a top notch CB and of course, a GK.
Another forward to help Ollie out too. Doubt we will get all of that done though.

We wont sign another centre back after signing Gabriel in January.
You don't think Per will go?
We'll be lucky to make 3 (senior team) signings. A starting CB won't be bought, and a keeper is highly unlikely too. Could see a striker coming in for sure.

I think he will be the third centre back. He is a good leader around the club.
Fair call.
And the DM situation?
In all reality, none of us have any idea what will actually happen. I think a big name will come in though somewhere.

I'm betting on a foward/Winger being the big name.
Also i wouldn't be surprised to see Cech come for a maximum of £10m. He is out of contract end of next season. If he really wants to stay in London i can't see Abramovich being a campaigner over £5m.
Cech is the kind of Keeper than can play well into his late 30's IMO.

Wenger confirms Rosicky's hanging around for another season. Our midfield stocks are going to be full once again!
Happy to have Rosicky stay on, he was criminally underused early in the season.
Not sure what we'll do with Arteta and Flamini though.
I'd like to think so, yes. But surely Jose will have some say in the matter, despite what Cech's agent has been saying in the press.

Unless we buy another holding mid, we'd need to retain one of Flamini or Arteta to be back up to Coq.

We need to buy another holding midfielder for stiff competition for Coq, Arteta and Flamini as back ups would just allow him to get comfortable and coast as they are not up to the required standard.
Arteta is alright for depth. He's older so would be a good presence to have around the club.
Would love Milner. Great player.
