While he adds quality and depth in the Gunners midfield following the departures
of Mathieu Flamini, Mikel Arteta and Tomas Rosicky, Wenger will
arguably be looking at other
areas of his
squad to strengthen moving forward.
An inability to genuinely compete for major trophies and with critical weak
areas of the
squad still not addressed, it has led to a level
of scrutiny that few other managers
arguably experience.
Arsene Wenger has a strong - looking
squad ahead
of the new season, but could
arguably still do more to strengthen the overall quality
of his team in certain
areas, with these three being targeted before the transfer deadline...
Song,
arguably our most improved player is on 4 yellow cards and we should ensure that he doesn't miss the Chelsea game.The partnership
of Gallas and Vermaelen is outstanding, yet one can not expect them to play in every game, and it is in that are we are weak in cover.With regards to the full back situation, perm any two from four, that is Clichy, Gibbs, Eboue, Sagna and even Traore they are attacking wing backs and are always at risk on the quick counter attack by the opposition.Almunia still doesn't impress me and his command
of his
area is still indecisive and he is still vulnerable to letting goals in, especially to his near post.Wenger being Wenger, I doubt he will buy in January, and it is a pity we didn't go for Given months before he joined City, when he was available for a comparatively cheap price.This new diamond shape or 4 -1-4-1 is working well and we have an abundance
of quality to interchange, which bemuses the opposition more often than not.We have every chance this year, and we are also being helped by the fact that the other so called big four sides are showing their vulnerability.A couple
of decent signings, not
squad players in January, and hopefully we are in the mix.
