Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain undergoing medical at Arsenal ahead of £12 million move.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Good player, could be great, one of England's more exciting prospects. Although we have enough quality in that position...

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Where do you believe Arsenal are short as in my humble opinion they need one or two centre backs, a goalkeeper, a defensive midfielder and a goal poacher.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

A centre back and a left back. The rest is good enough.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

l have to disagree with you because when l watched them last season Song or Diaby were constantly out of position when playing the defensive midfield role and they need someone in the Viera or Petit class to fill that position and have they not got Kieron Gibbs for left back position.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Song plays a box-to-box holding midfield. Which is what Vieira did.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

But the problem is Damien he is not in the same class as Vieira as Vieira kept his position very well and Song does not hold his position as well.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Song holds his position fine if he bombs forward then Wilshere tends to stay back or the other way around, there isn't really a problem there.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

But l see Wiltshire as a inventive playmaker rather then being in that position but everybody has a different opinion and thats what makes the game so great.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

But where is the evidence that his roaming causes problems?:confused:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Watch some of last seasons matches where they dropped points and you will see that the defensive midfielder needs to keep his position but on occassions last season the player in that position went missing thus leaving the centre backs with no protection in front of them and thats what Petit and Vieira were so good at closing that space thus they won trophys when they were there and the present lot have not won anything for at least 6 years.



Aresenal sign Alex Chamberlain.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arsenal need a striker

Midfield..someone like scott parker..to compliment others

Defense, not sure..someone that wins balls in the air

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arsenal had the best defensive record from open play last year, all without our best center back. Suggests to me the problem is not the midfield.

We now added Gervinho :) Also Van Persie was another long term absentee last year, if we keep him fit then he is a goal machine.


This. Someone on set-pieces to command the defence and take control.
