'Champions League qualification is equal to a trophy' -Arsene Wenger.
Let's face it, the best we could hope for this January is that Walcott will sign da 'ting'. We have been linked with more than 50 players since August and in reality, in my opinion, none of them is fits Wenger type that he wants to sign. As like most of you, I checked Arsenal blogs and news everyday to see if we have made any surprise deal to sign 'exceptional talented' players, but with our position, the inconsistency and lack of movements in transfer activities, these are hard times.
We have seen rumour of our strong link with David Villa, yet broken down due to the fact that Barcelona's confirmation that he will stay there until the season ends. The latest one being Remy from Marseille, which I found it quite plain. I mean how many times have we seen Arsenal being linked with average type of players? Remy has scored only 37 in his last two seasons, averaged 18 each, in a relatively unexciting French league. Not including the fact that he has been struggling to get into the first 11 of Marseille this season.
Enough with the players, who are they when they are under Wenger's spell? Look at Podolski, top class lad, look where he is now? In a position and a tactic that doesn't suit him, he's a counter-attacking winger. NOT a player where he waited to be put through. Have you seen him at his game? He's clinical, incisive and powerful. The clinical part we have seen a few, the RVP-alike volley in the Champions League, the free kick against Southampton and one against Montpellier early on. The other two parts of his though, we haven't seen.
Same with Giroud, isn't that enough time for him to 'settle in'? Giroud can be a real deal in my opinion though, in which he has to be play as a Andy Caroll for Arsenal. But that's a far-off dream, what a waste.
My point is, to find a class player who can change the complexity of an Arsenal game, and one that has been a WINNER before.
So what is Arsene's priority this January? By what he has claimed, he wants to complete the Theo deal and hope to bring a few back from injury like Diaby and Rosicky. For me, he should be focus on getting rid of the big packed lollies that he feed his children and should trade all those for something that's enough to board a grown man to his dressing room.
