Arsenal – Probable starting line-up for the season 2011/2012 (Part 3)
With Barcelona qualifying for the next stage of the European competition, Arsenal were once again knocked out by Barcelona and were made to rue for their mistakes. The North London side have always been knocked out by the Catalan Giants.
First, Barcelona snatched away a golden opportunity from Arsenal in 2006, when the Spanish Champions won the UEFA Champions League. Then in the 2009/2010, Barcelona once again knocked Arsenal out with Lionel Messi scoring four goals in a single game. In the last season the Spanish Champions once again knocked http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 scored a brace in the second leg in order to keep his side in the competition.
With what Arsenal currently have, they will find it difficult to keep themselves in the top four of the Premier League. They will definitely try to keep things up but with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 getting stronger day by day, Arsenal are definitely going to sign new players in order to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.
With this squad all Arsene Wenger could accomplish was a fourth spot which does not guarantee a place in the European competition. Arsenal will have to play the Champions League qualifying rounds in order to get the European experience they desire.
This season Arsenal have made only one signing and it’s the former Lille forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755. The Ivorian did show extraordinary statistics in the French League but he still has to prove himself in the Premier League. No one actually knows whether Arsene Wenger has made a wise decision after signing him; however, it was a risk worth taking as Wenger rarely cashes in on players.

Arsenal are currently keen on signing the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 winger and the Spanish star Juan Mata. In case Mata joins Arsenal, the problems of wing forwards will totally finish. Samir Nasri was about to leave the North London club but currently he is enjoying his time with the Gunners. However, Cesc Fabregas might just be on his way to his boyhood club Barcelona.
In case Cesc Fabregas joins the Catalan Giants, Arsenal are going to fall short of options but with Juan Mata joining the North London club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Arsenal still need to sign a defender as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Djourou-c18779 and Sebastien Squillaci will not be able to fulfil the needs of the centre back positions.
