thinking about wengers comments regarding not signing players in jan is really going to divide opinion again on these pages.for me its a massive error.wenger does nt like the jan window and is often quick to remind us of the fact.he is loyal to his players yes but at times its his undoing.he hates to break up his squad becuase he is so determined for this particular group to win something but how long is he going to persist.im a firm beleiver that every player has a price and there are not many players in the world who would turn arsenal down.we have the cash and the players we need are very much out there.the problem wenger has is numbers.we have 2 pretty poor keepers that he has held onto for too long.we have 4 recognised CBs with only one (TV) being deemed good enough at present.wenger bought 2 defenders in and they havent really made the grade but he obviously cant admit that and buying a CB would be that admission, we have up to 6 players who can play up front with only 1 really playing in form (chamakh).
