Good day to you Gooners and what a glorious one it is too. Someone must of reminded England that it actually summer right now as the sun is a blazing, which is nice.
So what do I have for you today? Well not a great deal to be honest as not a lot has happened, someone would of thought it was pre-season or something. We’re still waiting for Arsene Wenger to dust down and break out the cheque book out for someone with experience. A couple players surprisingly reckon Le Gaffer doesn’t need to splash the cash namely Czech mate Tomas Ro-sicky and Brazilian Denilson. Ro-sicky reckons our very own Abou Diaby is the man to partner The Cesc in the middle of the park and Denilson reckons he’s the man with the big cojones to do the job. Personally I believe that those two players can do the job, but not right now, but in time.
If Wenger doesn’t go and buy someone (which he really needs to) it would mean sitting through another ‘transitional’ period and I’m not sure many Gooner’s would want to put up with that. Diaby does have the touch of the Vieira’s about him and Denilson is a talent but those two haven’t exactly got a phobia of the treatment room have they? Next season we have to hit the ground running, we wont have time to play around with the midfield and re-jig here or there. Also my fear is if we don’t get someone with the experience The Arsenal deserve, The Cesc could well ask himself when is he going to win some silverware with this team. With Fabregas winning Euro2008 with Spain, he has got a taste for it now. Fabregas deserves a quality partner, Arsenal deserve a quality midfield and I don’t think Wenger can afford not to go and splash the cash. I know quite a few people are saying we don’t need a ‘big name’ I’d agree with that to some degree. No one knew too much about Bacari Sagna or Eduardo before they came to London’s finest and both were blinding in their debut season before injury curtailed them both. However that would be a huge gamble if Wenger doesn’t buy anyone who isn’t proven. Not a ‘big name’ but proven and proven in the Premier League. Someone who wont take time to settle in, get up to speed and that malarkey. We need someone who is ready, someone who is proven. Someone when he is named everyone is like ‘Holy shit I fancy our chances now!’ I wont get excited if we get hold of this Amaury Bischoff fella as he’s played less games than Shaun Wright-Phillips has started for CSKA Chelsea. He might be good but frigging hell we’re crying out for someone who can take the bull by the horns and hit the ground running so that The Cesc can do what he’s best at. Obviously there’s loads of names been banded around but only a select few will give us the ‘wow’ factor, who might not be a big name but ‘proven’ and the longer it takes Wenger to identify the player and splash the cash the more Gooner’s are getting nervous.
This is going to be huge season not only The Arsenal but for Le Gaffer. Wenger hasn’t won a trophy now since we completely outplayed Manchester USA in the 0-0 F.A. Cup Final in 2005 and stole the game on penalties and another season trophyless will get a few fans twitching.
