After the fourth trophy-less season, Arsene Wenger was expected to spend heavily in order to finally build a team capable of challenging for honours but he only signed Thomas Vermaelen, while selling Toure and Adebayor. Even though everyone expected the Gunners to struggle, they played some good stuff at the start of the season and hinted they could enter the Premiership title race. However, the 3:0 defeat to Chelsea at the Emirates showed all Arsenal’s flaws and it made Wenger realize his team needed heavy rebuilding.
There is no doubt Wenger has a very talented team at his disposal but it was again a case of kids versus men when they played mighty Chelsea last weekend. It seems the boss has finally realized he needs to sign new players in January and a striker is definitely the top priority.
With Van Persie set to miss a big part of the season and neither Bendtner nor Eduardo good enough to command a starting berth, Wenger needs a striker who can step right into the starting line-up. Bordeaux’s Marouane Chamakh looks like the first pick at the moment but I am not sure he would be the perfect signing for the Gunners. The Moroccan is a very good player indeed but he is not a real marksman and that is what Arsenal (Arsenal news) need at the moment. Wenger needs a player who can score goals on regular basis and it looks as though Carlton Cole could be our man.
The boss is thought to be very interested in signing the West Ham forward after seeing him in action on more than a few occasions and I believe Cole would be a very good signing. Carlton Cole goals have helped West Ham a great deal this season and I can really see him score 20 odd goals per season for Arsenal. He’s had some injury problems lately but if he recovers before January, Wenger is likely to act. The Hammers may be unwilling to sell at the moment but they will certainly change their mind if the right offer comes in.
There is no doubt Arsenal need reinforcements in other positions as well but a good centre forward would definitely be a good start.
keep good performance and entertaining foot ball.rem to score more goals.lets win atleast atrophy this season.keep up
