Ok, we all know about the frustrations of the summer, and we all know that Wenger likes to keep his cards close to his chest..but after more than 10yrs at the club, can any of us second guess the man?
With 6 days before the transfer window slams shut, we still seem to have a mighty big hole in the centre of our midfield. We've known about this hole since the last game of last season, against Sunderland, and the only midfielders we've brought in to replace Dairra, Flamini and Giberto...are two 17yr old kids.
Wenger recently said he's looking to bring a midfielder in, yet on Arsenal.com today, we have Wenger suggesting that signing players isn't always the answer But, surely sometimes it is, Arsene?
Anyway...the question is, who - if anyone - will we eventually sign?????
*Not who you want...but who you think Wenger will sign!
I don't think Barry is even on the radar, and I have huge doubts that Alonso is capable of being the midfield enforcer that Wenger - hopefully - is looking for.
The press seem to have gone cold on the De la Red link, but he seems to be surplus to requirements at Real Madrid, and has experience from his loan at Getafe last season..where his good form got him into the Spanish squad at the Euro Championships.
He seems a Wenger type signing to me, and I think this is the man Wenger will sign...maybe
Alonso for me. Fabregas said in a statement that he would love him to come to arsenal. Also i read rafa spoke to Arsene and said to him that he would have to pay 16 plus for him, this was after arsene offered 14 apprently. would be pleased with the alonso signing, it would fill me with a bit more confidence.
alonso would be a improvement on what we have got,and i think would keep us in the top 4,but we need a more dynamic midfielder(and 2 new centre backs)(oh and a goalkeeper)if we can think about winning the league.
i think were really gonna struggle away from home this season as we have no bite,i miss flamini

and i voted no one,cos arsene is a stubborn man
If it is savage bite that we want, psyching out opponents and intimidating the opponents then the man for it is
But, surely sometimes it is, Arsene?
