Losing Mathieu Flamini and Alexander Hleb to AC Milan and Barcelona respectively could have been a factor why Arsenal lost their touch this season. Flamini is a defensive midfielder who enjoyed playing with Arsenal. He has even said that they might be a possibility of him joining Arsenal if they want him.

His career at AC Milan has been going on well and he looks as though he enjoys the football he’s playing but it’s a different story for Hleb at the Nou Camp. Hleb brings creativity to the Arsenal team and he’s strength are not use by Barcelona completely. He has been a regular on the bench as Pep Guardiola is using Leo Messi on the left wing of the Barcelona team.

Arsenal season in the Premier League is not looking good for them. With successive draws against Everton and West Ham, Arsenal are still five points behind Aston Villa and there is a slight probability that they might not even get a fourth place and the last Champions League spot.

The only silverware that Arsenal has a shot on winning is the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League. And that’s if they are able to face Cardiff City on February 16 and AS Roma on February 24.
