But, I cant see Wenger buying more than 1 BIG player in the next 2 transfer windows. If he buys now, it will be a creative midfielder with some pace. If he waits until summer it will be a defensive midfielder. The trouble with bringing in the big signing now is there will be so much pressure on him to save our season. Stepping in and filling Cesc's shoes right away is a big ask. The PL is notoriously difficult to adjust too. Arshavin has only just finished a full season with St. Petersberg and the EURO-08. Is he fresh enough to play regularly? Its a real gamble. But to wait until suimmer to buy does leave us vulnerable in terms of ChampL next season. If either Van Persie or Ade get injured...its all over for us. If we are stuck to playing UEFA Cup football we wont get that BIG defensive midfielder signing, like Yaya Toure. Another mediocre season next year would definitely see Van Persie, Adebayor and/or Cesc leaving. What we need is to buy the big name now. It increases our chances at a good end of season standing, signals to the top players at the club that we are serious about the future, and brings a little more competition to the midfield. Song and Diaby are good players, but they do seem to slack off a bit, knowing they have an automatic place in the starting line-up. So...while I like the blog, I say we should hope that this Arshavin deal goes through. By next season Denilson, Ramsey and Walcott will be ready to take us to the top of the PL and bring the title home. Interesting blog.

Wenger is stubborn and if he though he needed to strengthen the squad he would have done it in the summer. Spare a thought for poor old Eduardo. Just finding his form, scoring vital goals and spearheading Arsenal's title challenge. Then he breaks his leg and Arsenal literally collapse and finish 3rd in the league. Then some of our best players leave the club and now our ambition is to finish fourth. The last game he played for the club and the first one he will play on his return couldn't be any more different. He must be wondering what the hell has been happening since he's been out.

And we have been very critical of the slightest blip arsenal suffer, financial constraints haven't allowed Wenger to spend on high profile, big players. The quality though, is maintained by signing young blood, cheap and effective, only that they remain inconsistent, but what were we expecting, talented kids to rule the world right away.bah!! Its high time we back Wenger, he's the one who's made us have expectations, over the past decade, to not belive our eco prof now could be a huge mistake.

I think we have seen glimpses of the potential this squad has and to think we have walcott, rosicky, fabregas and eduardo on long term injury, not to mention the niggles we seem to get all the time for players such as nasri i think we are doing ok though nothing better. I do still however think we will finish fourth and though not easily, by a bigger margin than most expect due to players returning for second half of season/the run-in and villa not being as good as us FACT! you mention gilberto who left on a free and senderos who hasn’t atually left the club and is just on loan and hleb, flamini and diarra all wanted to leave the club and so ,even f we could, there was no point in holding on to them.

If we spend 20 million today to get players who can take us to the CL next season we stand to gain at least 50 million. Failure to purchase the required players will result in us being ineligible for the CL and therefore a loss of 50 million in income. If you are a true Arsenal fan and wish the club to the financially secure then we need to invest in a few experienced players who can guide the young ones and maintain CL eligibility.
