Lrrr Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Highlights Wenger's reluctance to spend really, instead of just chasing Suarez who they never really had a chance with, the amount of top class strikers who have moved this summer he could have got 1 at least. Heavy rumours he wanted Higuain but that had to have broken down for a reason. Wenger almost blew it by not spending in January as well when he had a estimated £50m and said he was fine with what he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 They do have 24 players though. The article is putting a mild twist on the reality of things. It's more to the point that Wenger has an injury crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree- they need a holding midfielder, Cabaye is a quality example of one of those. I think someone a touch more physical might suit them better (I would have thought Capoue would have been perfect, but they never seemed interested) but Cabaye is a good fit for the Arse IMO. Not saying they don't need another 2-3 defenders and a top class striker, but it's a fair signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunnyfunt Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think they need a whole new core. Gk, CB, CDM and a STAgree with this. I don't rate the Pole in goal. Vermarlen struggled last season since his return from a long injury, even though Kosceilny has improved and Mertesacker is a lump. I think Fellani would be a good shout in the midfield as he could provide the bit of dirt and strength they need as Diaby is hardly available. (Oh for a Vierea!) Giroud may come good this season but I doubt he'd be the talisman RVP was, can he hit 25/30 league goals? Doubtful. I hear they've also just lost the Ox for six months as well.
