Arsenal still need more to be title contenders! by KJ
After the last couple of days, we’ve experienced the highs of signing a world class player in Cazorla to the lows of knowing that Man Utd are close to signing our star striker and captain, Robin Van Persie.
I’ve said it before that we need to forget about Van Persie and plan for a future without him. However, we’ve definitely got a chance at glory with a couple more vital signings that will return this beautiful club to greatness.
I personally think that the striker role is actually covered regardless of what happens to RVP. Giroud and Podolski aren’t given enough credit amongst the fans and they have enough talent between them to easily replace the goal threat that RVP posed.
However, in terms of who we need, there are 3 positions that will make us title contenders:
Right Back: With the Sagna injury, it would be in our best interest to get a right back in. We’ve been linked with Van Der Weil who is a solid choice. He will help ease the pressure off Sagna and hopefully will challenge him to make both of them better players.
Left back: I feel quite iffy with the LB situation. We do have two at the moment with Vermaelan as our emergency LB. However, I’m not confident in our two traditional LBs. Gibbs is too injury prone and possibly too attacking minded whilst Santos is getting on now and has real lapses in concentration whilst defending. There aren’t too many quality LBs at the moment but players like Nagamoto (Inter), Schmeltzer (Dortmund), Cissokho (Lyon) would all be quality additions to our team.
Finally, a defensive midfielder. I know Song and Arteta are great but I feel like we need the third wheel to completely cover them. If one is injured (like Arteta) was, the other (Song) won’t have to do all of it by himself. It will also keep competition fierce and hopefully push them to another level. The obvious candidates are M’Vila, Capoue and Biglia.
I know that it’s been a funny week for Arsenal but we need to remain on top of our game and keep these signings rolling. We are so close now.
