How can anyone with a proper functioning brain not see the need for having at least one proper defensive midfielder??? This isn't Topology Wenger, you don't need to be PhD in mathematics to figure this trivial shit out. (justarsenal.com)
He is at least a proper defensive midfielder who can put his foot in and tackle, but he is also cup tied in the Champions League and if he can not get into the Atletico side, is he really good enough to solve the midfield problems that have dogged the Gunners for so long? (justarsenal.com)
And the fact that we would be denying Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers another of his transfer targets would make it even sweeter, but I just wonder whether it would not be more proof that Wenger is too focused on the attacking side of the game when we desperately need a defender and a proper defensive midfielder.
