It is fairly obvious we need a strong
defensive midfielder and a
leader at the
back, to replace the BFG — look
at the difference it makes to have leadership on the field, and you don't need to have 30 years in management and be on 10 million a year, to realise that, the only reason, unless Wenger is clinically insane, is that he's been restricted financially, no money anyone?
With natural full -
backs in Darmian and Shaw regularly in the side, the defence already looks much more
at ease than last season, while Daley Blind has surprised in how calm and composed he has looked alongside Chris Smalling who seems to grow into that
defensive leader role by the game.
