Firstly I'd like to say, you gotta be impressed with the way we
qualified for champions league last night... It all started way back in
March when we became only the 2nd team last season to beat Bayern in
their home.. That was the beginning of the comeback... Did we win
anything? An emphatic NO. But we once again showed our consistency in
the last 17 seasons by belonging in the elite tournament of
tournaments... The Champions League... Here's my point... We can't
attract the right kind of players when you don't qualify for the
champions league... The time has come for Arsenal to spend Big or at
least spend properly on quality and no more on average players...
Firstly I'm glad Arshavin, Fabianski and Squillachi's contracts are all
expiring this summer... That should free up the wage bill a bit... We
also have Denilson, Bendtner, Djorou, Park, Chamakh, Frimpong (all on
loans outside) and Sagna and Mannone who's contracts all end in the
summer of next year (2014)... So i figure a good clear out should be on
the cards this summer...Get rid of them and bring in a few really good
players.... I'm gonna highlight a few players in a few positions where
we need strengthening... These are players I'm aware are available this
transfer window..
STRIKERS
1. ROONEY
He wants to leave Man U because he "can't" work with his former manager David Moyes
Buy please
2. LEWANDOWSKI
Great
finisher but I wonder how well he can adapt to the EPL? Strikes me as a
fragile player.. However that's just my own opinion.. Still think if we
can get him we should
3. HIGUAIN
Hasn't been playing regularly in
Real Madrid because Mourinho prefers Benzema (so do I.. Lol) but he's
waaay ahead of Giroud in quality.. So.. Why not?
4. JOVETIC
Heard
this ones a done deal.. Lets wait and see.. Pretty good tho.. But would
prefer him as a back up, not our first choice striker..
Here's my
point... Let's get any 2 of these strikers if possible.. If I were
realistic, maybe ROONEY and JOVETIC.. If we can achieve that then that
would be a coup and would definitely make a statement...
MIDFIELDER
1. MARCO REUS
Boy! Would I love to have this guy play for Arsenal! Nuff said.. Watch him in the Champions League final..
2. ISCO
Fantastic player.. Very creative..
DEFENDER
1. LUKASZ PISZCZEK
Solid replacement for Sagna
GOALKEEPER
1. JULIUS CEASAR
Almost perfect No 1 keeper for Arsenal.. Szczesny would thrive and learn a lot from him..
So that's basic.. If we can make this happen, and I know we can we'll be back to winning ways trophy wise..
