Star players have been placed with younger versions, and the hunger seems to have waned slightly, the creativity diluted, and defensive errors continue to be made. The display at Fulham was abysmal, whilst wins against West Brom and FC Twente haven't been convincing for varied reasons. I worry that Wenger’s faith may be misguided.
A lot of emphasis for Arsenal’s indifferent start has been the omission of Cesc Fabregas from the first three games. It shouldn’t be the case that the reason we don’t win is because of Cesc’s absence. For a club of Arsenal’s size, his absence shouldn’t be too deeply felt.
A dominating defensive midfielder or a prolific goal-scorer would do nothing but improve the club’s chances. My view is naturally hypothetical, but similarly, so is the view that a big-name would create disharmony and imbalance. Every signing is a risk, but I think, in this case, the positives outweigh the negatives.
So, I’m suggesting that, with the closure of the transfer window just two days away, maybe Mr. Wenger should splash the cash. Please.
Time is limited, and the right players are difficult to come by, but they are out there. With his extensive scouting network, Wenger will know where they are.
