Ospina is a great replacement for Fabianski.

Yes

Debuchy is a great replacement for Sagna.

Yes

Chambers is an excellent buy and is a good replacement for Jenkinson as back-up right back, and so far looks to be an adequate replacement for Vermaelen as back-up centre back, but he'll have to stay fit or we'll look very short in defence.

I can see Chambers being pushed into the DM role, he looks good on the ball and is a good tackler.

Sanchez adds real pace and strength, which we've been short on recently, and world class talent, any team would be stronger with him in.

When he clicks with the team he will be excellent. His running on and off the ball is brilliant, will be unstoppable when his colleagues work out where is is liable to be.

Giroud brings our huge number of excellent attacking midfielders into the game and is actually better for us than many out-and-out goalscorers would be.

Yes, and this is the problem with Sanogo, he can't fulfil that role. Sanogo is probably a better winner of the ball, and is certainly better retaining it, but there is no product. He needs to work on his shooting and passing otherwise a ball to him is a dead end. Welbeck will worry defences more, should cause them to lose shape and open up gaps 'cos if they stand off him, he can shoot.

We could still have really done with a defensive midfielder. If Flamini is injured (and when he is inevitably suspended), we have no proper defensive, tackling midfielder - Arteta doesn't count. Especially as a lot of DMs can cover at centre back. I actually think we could have done a lot worse than snapping up Song.

Flamini is not good a enough tackler, that's why he gets booked so often. Arteta isn't really a DM at all. We should never have let Song go, but Wenger never liked him. Really would have liked Khedira brought in, and he should still be a target for the future.
