Rivals' Views is back with a third and final part in the pre-season edition. Rivals' Views is a forum for fans to answer questions about Arsenal and their clubs as we build up to an exciting football season.
1. What do you think about Arsenal’s transfer activity this summer?
Well, Arsenal haven't brought many players in, and I haven't seen enough of Aaron Ramsey to judge him yet, nor have I seen any of Amaury Bischoff. However, Samir Nasri could be a great signing and I think he could be another Robert Pires for Arsenal.
The best signing of the summer for Arsenal? Getting Adebayor to stay!
Still, I don't doubt that all of Arsenal's signings will prove good, after all Wenger knows what he is doing!
2. How do you think the club will perform this season?
I think it could be an all or nothing season for Arsenal. On one hand I can see them really challenging Man Utd for the title, but I can also see them battling it out with Tottenham for fourth. It could go either way for them, but I'm leaning slightly towards fourth.
I think Liverpool are going to come third, so it's whether Chelsea are going to come second or fourth, and I can't see the latter happening with Phil Scolari in charge. The top four will be in this order, in my opinion:1. Man Utd 2. Chelsea 3. Liverpool 4. Arsenal.
3. If Arsenal sign an “experienced midfielder”, do you think that we will have a squad complete enough to challenge for the title?
I think last season showed Arsenal can already compete for the title, but a player like Xabi Alonso could be exactly what they need. Just someone to sit back and spread the passes about, allowing Fabregas to get forward and score goals.
I also think, if Arsenal are going down the Patrick Vieira route, Momo Sissoko could be one to look at.
4. Who do you think people should look out for this season from Arsenal’s current crop?
The same as last season probably. Cesc Fabregas, Emmanuel Adebayor, Tomas Rosicky when he is fit, same with Eduardo. Carlos Vela could have a bright future ahead of him as well. Add Samir Nasri to that list and if he is as good as everyone says he is, then he is definitely one to watch.
I have a feeling that Adebayor is not going to have as good a season as last season though, which will affect the whole team's performance, as he is Arsenal's best striker.
