He fulfils our needs as a holding midfielder and would instantly make Arsenal's midfield the best in the Prem.

He plays in a position of need for Arsenal right now yes but for the price you'd have to pay to get him it wouldn't really be worth it. Would rather have a center back or a better holding mid like Gokhan Inler.

Nothings wrong with it. It's a bit of a shame that there's such a crazy financial gap between Real, Barca, Man utd and the rest of the world though. Parity is a good thing imo.
Take Man Utd out that list.

Ain't no big player wants to sign for a 7th place team with no champions league play next season :pachaha:

Can't hate on Real Madrid but :umad:@players like Isco getting tossed in the bushes. He could have opted to play for Man Utd but I guess sitting on the bench and watching your teammates win trophies is better than no trophy at all :manny:

I don't see central mf as that big a need tbh

The lack of central midfielders is why we fell down the table last season, IMO. We have quality players but after an injury or two, our team looks shaky.

According to reports, his wage demand is the reason why Arsenal are struggling to sign him. If that's the case, I'd say we go after someone like Bender or Inler, as you said. A centreback is a need as well but unless we're going after someone young like Doria, Balanta, etc, I don't know who we could get. PSG paying £40 million for Luiz has set the precedent now.

Point taken, but since the issue is more about fitness/depth than actual holes at the position (I say Wilshere is underrated and we all know Rambo= The Welsh Pele), this is something that should be addressed with younger/less expensive players rather than a big signing.

Real Madrid is all 'bout getting cheat codes for the Champions Cup.
