All the complaining that we haven't spent is fairly ludicrous when any spending would put the long-term future of the club in doubt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-88002180250820487552014-09-23T12:22:53.528+02:002014-09-23T12:22:53.528+02:00it was about time, you lazy b@stard ;-Pit was about time, you lazy b@stard ;-PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-36792840465129017342014-09-23T08:08:23.025+02:002014-09-23T08:08:23.025+02:00This is so good, we could call you The Swiss Rambo...This is so good, we could call you The Swiss RamboAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-11942803161549729382014-09-23T07:57:08.497+02:002014-09-23T07:57:08.497+02:00Great read.

Otherwise (bar injury) we are carrying 7 defenders this season- Per, Koscielny, Chambers, Gibbs, Monreal, Debucchy and (YES) Bellerin.<br /><br />2)I don't think we are in need of a physically large imposing specimen of a DM. Those touted to have been the answer to our woes in previous transfer windows - Luis Gustavo, Victor Wanyama, Ettiene Capoue, Yann MVilla...none have made significant impact where they have since gone and have in all honesty flattered to deceive. Carvalho is the latest to be touted.<br /><br />Recent City game, someone praised the impact of Fernandhino at City as the srt of player we need to add energy to cover our defense from midfield and illustrated our concession of two goals as the reason why Arteta or Flamini were not up to task. This negates the fact that City conceded two to us of course.;)<br /><br />I think the issue in DM is not an issue of a particular type of physicality we need. This is frankly somewhat passe (noting of course we still carry a latent and existential ability with Diaby)<br /><br />Rather we need to rejuvenate the position because of Arteta's age.<br /><br />That said he is still good for one more season at very least. Particularly as we have made a number of changes in defense (Introduction of Debuchy, Chambers, Bellerin), it makes sense to retain a level of familiarity in the squad, in particular between DM and the 2 main Cbacks.<br /><br />The issue of DM can await next summer. There is no rush to enter the market now. This is likely a footballing reason rather than anything to do with ability (or gumption) to purchase the right player for the right price. I remain unconvinced that Carvalho is the be all and end all solution to our DM requirement (Beyond poor performances of Portugal in recent Internationals) and he was in any case over priced. Add to that we have Chambers also earmarked for a possible role in central midfield, clearly this is not an urgent requirement and something to befuddle our more urgent needs elsewhere in the squad which is chiefly :<br /><br />At Cback.<br /><br />Wenger is playing a bit of risk having Monreal as potential 4th cover at Cback. This particularly as Gibbs is prone to injury. The assumption I feel he has calculated is to shift Flamini into LB if necessary. Hence the continued presence of Coquelin to back up in midfield DM, clearly not ideal.<br /><br />This is the perplexing issue at stake as granted we would prefer quality and long term (bearing in mind Isaac Hayden) to the United approach currently, clearly we don't need any where near 50m to secure the service of someone at least short term for cover.<br /><br />Wenger cites the lack of quality options in market this summer but surely we are looking for cover over capability at the moment. An experienced player on loan would have sufficed and we would not have had to break the bank.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-13140350243869051092014-09-23T02:25:48.374+02:002014-09-23T02:25:48.374+02:00All hail the long awaited return of the rambler!!!...All hail the long awaited return of the rambler!!!!
