Can we trust Giroud as much as we could trust Van Persie or dare I say, Thierry Henry?
Giroud has always scored goals, obviously not this much in this little time before but I think he certainly benefits having Santi, Ozil, Alexis, Ramsey etc all behind him helping him out, I think they give him confidence going forward and I'm confident he can replicate this form next season.
In case of a Giroud injury, can we count on Welbeck leading a CL winning side?
Welbeck gets in good positions but he hasn't been clinical yet, I'm 50/50 on this so only time can tell really. We could put Theo or Alexis up front if needed though.
If Walcott leaves, what kind of replacement should we buy? A Sanchez type signing (e.g. Reus) or a Oxlade-Chamberlain type signing (e.g. Dybala). Does that mean benching one of Cazorla/Özil/Ramsey?
I like our wingers at the moment and don't like the idea of Chamberlain being pushed back yet again after how much he has done for us this season, I think if we bring someone in we need to either bring in a massive signing who Chamberlain can't even be mad about or someone like Sterling who can be a back-up all over the front line and wont push back Chamberlains development.
What kind of DM should we replace Flamini/Arteta/Diaby with? A first teamer à la Schneiderlin or more of a prospect to give Coquelin space to breathe?
Schneiderlin has shown this season what he can do. £30M or less and I say go for him 100%, if we fail to get him I say go for Khedira, even with highish wages he should be worth it with no transfer fee.
Is our defence capable? I have some doubts about this. It just simply doesn’t strike me as CL winning back 5. Only Koscielny does, but defensively I don’t trust Merte (anymore), Bellerin and Chambers. We still don’t know enough about either Gabriel and Debuchy IMO.
Kosc obviously stays, Chambers is the future CB so to help Chambers progress we sort of need Gabriel to step up into the first team, unless we can sign someone world class like Hummels or Godin then I say keep it as it is, maybe sell Mertesacker or see if he is okay sitting behind the scenes a bit more.
Are Monreal/Gibbs not simply a pretty average LBs?
Monreal has been great this season and Gibbs helps our team a lot, I think we're fine on this count but I might end up eating my own words.
How should we solve the Bellerin/Debuchy/Jenkinson dilemma?
Debuchy starts, Bellerin or Jenko go out on loan leaving the other as back up.
Should we replace Szczesny with Cech if available? We had some great windows in the past, the last one probably being the best (although not buying a DM and a CB was stupid), can we emulate Chelsea and make a great squad a squad of Premier League winners?
Honestly, Cech is much better than Szcz, but I don't want him. I feel like if we let Szcz go then we will regret it massively in the future and don't want that at all, I think we're fine with our keepers.
