Attacking Mid-field
Now while not being an absolute priority like the previously mentioned  positions. This position is crying out to be strengthened. Jack Wilshere when Fit, takes up the creative role which was once the responsibility of the departed Cesc Fabregas. The role demands the incumbent to be comfortable on the ball, unselfish and with an eye for a pass. Jack certainly embodifies these traits, but is unfortunately lacking in the goals department. Just the 2 goals in all competitions last season is not a good report but pundits suggest hes' still a work in progress and requires time. But meanwhile in the present, we need a bright, exciting signing who can thread dangerous through balls to the strikers Walcott,Giroud,Podolski,and possibly Higuain? its seems a bit unreal that a team which boasted of Technical Heavy weights such as Nasri,Fabregas,Arshavin who were all creative little players with an eye for goal, can at the moment be lacking in that department so gravely.
Santi Carzola ? well he has been rotated so much in the Middlle of the park im sure he's confused as to where he's meant to play. He was deployed in that  forward role in Midfield early last season, though he did well, Wenger positioned him to the left to make room for Jack Wilshere when he became Fit again. Thomas Rosicky has despite his age shown fine commitment to the cause and is another option for this role. He's experienced and has the intelligent running and guile that opens up defences. However we all know Tommy's injury record per season is nothing to write home about and as such we cannot afford to  rest our trophy ambitions on his availability.
Which brings us to who are the Options? Luca Modric, Alvaro Negredo,Thiago Alacantara,Fabregas and Strootman. Whilst its true that most of these names have been linked with other clubs than with us,Fabregas has been rumored to be eyeing an exit from Barca. This rumour was fueled even more with the revelation of Neymars purchase by the Catalans. Would Fabregas's return be welcome? we are said to have placed a "First refusal" clause on his purchase when we sold him to Barca, meaning should he be available we have the right to bid first. i leave you to conclude on the subject. However, it is no gain saying his passing and vision will strengthen us in the final third,and  is capable of turning even the Limited Giroud to a Goal King..let alone Higuain...
