My personal view is we should be looking for good solid reinforcements to bring long term competitiveness back rather than appeasement signings of big name players to please the fans but who joins us for the wrong reasons like purely financial or because they couldn't get the move they really wanted elsewhere.
I use Benzema just as an example, if Real decided to off load him this summer I'm sure Arsene and quite a few fans would be interested in us getting him but he has publicly laughed at the prospect of joining us in the past so would we really want him or be able to rely on him not thinking he was doing us a favour just by joining us.
I know it's not popular to suggest we could learn from Tottenham but their model is in my opinion the way for us to get back in the chase, let's sign players who can't believe thier luck to be joining The Arsenal rather than the other way round.

We've done that for years, bendtner, Carlos vela, Walcott, denilson, cygan etc all players for the future! It's time to buy world class players and actually compete for major titles and champions league!
