Arsenal: Wenger fiddled
Season Prediction
Frustration on deadline day
Arsenal lack a goalscorer
Arsenal missed out on bargains
The unkindest cut of all was to see Alex Song go on loan to West Ham (if I recall correctly). If you look under the definition of no-brainer, you would see a fictitious headline “Arsenal acquire Alex Song on loan from Barcelona”. If Wenger couldn’t find the right holding midfielder at the right price, can you think of a better way to buy time and give the Gunners a realistic chance at the silverware that matters – the EPL and the Champions League. Heck, he already knows the system and, unlike many who have left, he wasn’t crying to leave.
Fast forward to this season and we have conceded goals again to less than stellar opposition. Among the four lines (goal, defense, midfield and attack), our midfield is easily the strongest and yet, it is not strong enough. Our defensive midfielders are an elfin Arteta and an aging Flamini. Ozil and Cazorla are not the best at tracking back and persisting with their defensive tasks.
