Arsenal legend Perry Groves gives transfer advice to Arsene Wenger – EPL news
Former Arsenal winger, Perry Groves, believes that Gunners manager, Arsene Wegner, should ensure two things in the summer transfer window: the signing of a proven central defender, and the continued presence of Samir Nasri at the Emirates Stadium.
Groves believes that Nasri is more important to the club than Cesc Fabregas. The Spaniard has recently been linked with a move to his boyhood club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. Though Fabregas has now insisted that he is happy being an Arsenal player, he did not hide his
frustration at the lack of trophies he has won at the Emirates Stadium. There is speculation that the 24-year-old only made the recent statements since Arsene Wenger is blocking his transfer to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
However, Groves claims that if Fabregas really does want to leave Arsenal in the summer transfer window, he should be allowed to go. The former winger said, “If Cesc Fabregas wants to go, I've said before I would actually let him go. He has to be 100 percent
committed to Arsenal Football Club. If he wants to stay then brilliant, he's a fantastic player, but we've had this for the last three seasons now like we had with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918. If he wants to go then get the £50million in for him and that will help you invest
in the playing side of it."
One player that Groves deems necessary to Arsenal’s cause is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitalô-c40903 part of Arsene Wenger’s plans for the future, and has
placed his talents up there with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur’s shining star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422.
Perry Groves went on to add that the Gunners should sign a proven central defender on an urgent basis to counter their weakness at the back. Speaking on the matter, he said, “You've got http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roger-Johnson-c31524
who's going to be available at Birmingham and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gary-Cahill-c14439 at Bolton. I'd be very happy with any one of those centre-halves because they are the old dominant-type centre-halves. That's what we've been missing.”
Perry Groves has given his opinions, but the final say about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s summer activities rests exclusively with manager Arsene Wenger. Only time will tell what the Frenchman has in mind for the upcoming 2011/12 season.
