Arsenal to stuff Spurs

I have never been more convinced of a win for Arsenal against the not so mighty Spurs today. Arsenal, especially at home, will beat a spineless Spurs team easily.
Why?
Easy..............Arsenal have more quality, desire and balls.
Believe me Arsenal fans its an easy win - I just hope its not too boring as a game,because the gunners will win by at least 3 clear goals.

Well, Well, Well ........Welbeck IS going to be a great signing for Arsenal

Arsenal fans were divided regarding the signing of Danny Welbeck in the recent transfer window- especially at a transfer fee of 16 million pounds.
I predict that Danny Boy will prove to be one of the best signings of the recent transfer window. 
Why? Firstly, he has pace, quality and experience of the Premier League. Welbeck knows the Premier League well . His days at Sunderland on loan, and ofcourse Manchester United put Danny Boy more than ready to lead the Arsenal attack. Added to that is his International experience with England and Champions league experience too.
Many Arsenal fans were underwhelmed at the signing of Welbeck but he ticks all the boxes that are needed to be a big part of Arsenals attack on all fronts this season.
Wenger WILL make Welbeck a better player. Welbeck will be surrounded by players he knows - Wilshere, Walcott, Chambers, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gibbs from his England International experience -that can only help Welbeck settle in.
Players such as Ramsay, Ozil, Cazorla and Sanchez will provide Welbeck with the service he needs, and we will see a successful season not only for Welbeck, but also for Arsenal.

Arsenal sign Welbeck - good enough?

How many transfer windows will go by without Arsenal showing real intent to challenge for the top honours?
Yesterday was transfer deadline day and Arsene Wenger is not at Arsenal - he is in Italy. To be fair, he was there to support a charity event - which is to be applauded,  but which other Premier League manager was away from their club on this important transfer day?
More importantly Arsenal fans are underwhelmed at the signing of Welbeck. Another gamble? Probably - a good player but have a look at the strikers at Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and now Manchester United , and compare them to the options Arsenal have in the strikers department. 
Arsenal fans see what  other top premier league teams are doing - signing top quality players -and prepared to pay the going rate for them. Arsenal keep buying 'potential' - and this  does not convince Arsenal fans that Arsenal are serious about challenging for the top spot in the Premier League, or Champions League.
To be fair, signings such as Ozil and Sanchez have showed ambition, but Arsenal fans can still see the weak areas of Arsenals squad,and fear that Arsenal's squad just is not good enough to compete with the other top teams of the Premier league,and in the Champions League.
Welbeck is a good player, and under Wenger he may well prove to be a good signing. Arsenal fans, yet again, were looking for Arsenal to make a statement of intent in this transfer window and are left feeling underwhelmed.
PS.................................Just Watched Welbeck in the Switzerland v England game. Ladies and Gentlemen - we have a bargain!




Arsenal Transfer Deadline Day

Arsenal failed to beat Leicester City yesterday, and the question every Arsenal supporter is asking is why is Arsene Wenger not seeing what most Arsenal fans see? - Sanogo is not ready to lead the attack at Arsenal. Added to that is why has Arsene not added to his squad? -especially in central defence and striker.
Today is transfer deadline day and ,as was shown at Leicester City Arsenal just do not have enough quality options if Arsenal are serious about mounting a challenge in all competitions.
The other aspect that bothers Arsenal fans is that it is not as simple as what Arsenal do. We have to compete with the other top teams, both here,and in Europe and Arsenal fans look at the squads of Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and now Liverpool are buying in both quantity and quality.
Arsene has a reputation for not splashing the cash. Personally, I do not think Arsene is to blame for this lack of spending. It looks like he has a budget and thats the end of it.
Another concern is midfield. Arsenal have undoubted talent in this area. But Ramsay, Wilshere, Cazorla, Rosicky, Ozil etc seem to be quite similar players. Again, look at Chelsea;s midfield -and their options.Same can be said of Liverpool and Manchester City - options and game changers on the bench -Arsenal need those -and hopefully it will be today that Arsenal move in that direction by making serious offers for the likes of Falcao, Carvalho and Rabiot.
