Arsenal squad for this season ......?

Question

Now with the signing of Silvestre do you think Arsenal's squad is stronger than last season ? I don't see that really. Hleb left and Wenger replaced Nasri to that position...But what about Flamini's defensive midfield position ? Rosicky is out till Mid-September and Eduardo might not return till next January.... And there is only 10 days left till the transfer window closes, and after reading Wenger's views on the signing of Mikael, he seems to be happy with the squad....But I'm not. A lot of mixed reactions came from the Arsenal fans about this move. What do you think about the current squad....Is it good enough to challenge for the title again this season?

Answer 3

Lol, no offense but I don't think Wenger would care if you're not happy with his decisions. He's a smart coach and I think he knows what he's doing.  

Answer 4

well,its true we havent signed any fantastic players this season except for nasri

i think nasri can do a lot to improve the midfield position of arsenal along with fabregas and theo walcott

defence-wise,we've got clichy,yaya toure,sagna and senderos who are all fairly brilliant defenders.as for our new signing,silvestre,hopefully he will make a difference to the team (hope to god!)

attackingly,we need a good finisher; adebayor is known for blowing it in the last minute and wasting big opportunities in front of goal.

i agree with you that we should have purchased someone like david villa or arshavin (both brilliant strikers as thety have shown duriong the euros) who would have certainly filled in the gap by helping score more goals

i believe the only little problem we have is our attack.there is room for improvement though.as soon as we have rosiscy back.our midfield position will strengthen so i dont really worry about that

Answer 5

I agree...it is weaker in my view! A lot of people can't see them topping what they did Last season and I struggle to see them doing that either! Silvestre was the SHOCK transfer of the decade not to mind of the summer! They will challenge of course but that challenge may not be as strong as it should for Arsenal! It is a young squad though so give it time!

They'll still be a terrific side to watch!!

Answer 6

Ha once Henry left I'm sure you felt the squad was weaker...blah blah...we'll be lucky to come 4th...blah blah...and we were only 4 points off, not that far away was it.

Have a little faith in your Gunners, lately there's been alot of negativety coming from you. Relax, its just football! its FUN!!!

Answer 7

if wenger is content with the squad then whats your problem?

Answer 8

It will be the same top 4 this season and Arsenal will be there, if anyone was to fall out of the top 4 Liverpool will.

Have faith in Wenger, we always challenge for the title, maybe our biggest problem is the gap left by flamini but i think Fabregas can carry anyone in midfiled, we'll be fine, trust him.

As for the Silvestre signing - no comment!

Answer 9

the squad will be fine. the proff knows what he is doing. (i think)

as for Silvestre signing - not to sure yet.

Answer 10

fennec kicked your A$$

Answer 11

Well, we can compare them:

GK

Last season we had Lehmann, Almunia and Fabianski

This season  Almunia and Fabianski (Mannone's not ready)

WEAKER

DEF

Last season we had Clichy, Traore, Gallas, Senderos, Sagna, Toure, Hoyte (Song, Djourou and Gilberto for parts)

This season we have Clichy (Traore's gone to midfield but could still play LB), Gallas, Senderos, Sagna, Toure, Silvestre, Djourou (Song for parts)

STRONGER

MID

Last season we had Hleb, Flamini, Fabregas, Rosicky, Gilberto, Denilson, Diaby, Eboue, Walcott

This season we have Nasri, Fabregas, Rosicky, Denilson, Diaby, Eboue, Walcott, Ramsey, Wilshere

STRONGER?

ST

Last season we had RvP, Adebayor, Eduardo, Bendtner, Walcott

This season we have RvP, Adebayor, Eduardo, Bendtner, Walcott, VELA!!!

STRONGER

So overall, although it's debatable, I think we stronger, and have a chance of going all the way!

Answer 12

arsenal have a very young side but it may take a few years to be a better side -- will finish around 3rd to 6th on the table this year

Answer 13

i do think we are stronger! i mean u haven't seen arsenal at their best yet this season n i agree with the transfer i expected someone bigger but we still dunt know how silvestre is gonna play for arsenal he seems to be happy coming to arsenal n wants to give as much success as he did to man UTD. so  say give him a chance! as for our squad i think we a gud chance as anyone in the league right now! we've got the experience, desire and the manager! the only questions is if we can do it n i certainly think we can! have faith!

Answer 14

@ Fennec - excellent answer, you deserve top answer in my opinion!

I was one of those fans, when hearing the news last night WAS NOT happy with this signing at all ... i dont know what Arsene is playing at tbh, he said "another top signing" ... and we get him!  We shall have to wait and see whether this was a good signing or not, i believe totally in Arsene normally, have total faith in what he does but im a bit confused about this one. :-/

As for being stronger ... Fennec has summed it up brilliantly and when you see it in black and white like that I STILL think we've got a very very good chance of being number 1 this season!

Answer 15

yes aresnal have a great team and if they get the chance this year theyl go all the way

Answer 16

arsenal hai hai bye bye

Answer 17

When Cesc Fabregas is back Arsenal will prevail Go Nasri
