http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360: Arsenal will end their six-year trophy drought next season - EPL News
Inspirational http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 midfielder, Samir Nasri, believes that the Gunners will be able to end their six-year trophy drought next season and has bemoaned his team’s failure in four different competitions: UEFA Champions League, Barclays Premier League, FA
Cup and Carling Cup.
Nasri said, “As a team, we all realise now what we need to do to win a trophy. We had everything to be champions, but if you look at it, every time we played to go top of the league, we never did.”
Arsene Wenger’s men were firm favourites to end their six-year trophy drought when they reached the Carling Cup final, where they played against English Premier League minnows, Birmingham City. However, Arsenal’s young squad failed to rise to the occasion
and a very late goalkeeper-defender mix-up proved costly, and the Gunners’ lost a golden chance to deliver any silverware.
Since the Carling Cup defeat, the Gunners failed to pick themselves up and were knocked out from the rest of the competitions; Arsenal were defeated by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the UEFA Champions League, while Manchester United tarnished their FA Cup hopes.
Poor form in the final furlong of the Barclays Premier League resulted in only 12 points in 11 league games, and the Gunners eventually finished a lowly fourth in the league standings.
Arsenal have been praised for playing the most decorated and beautiful football in the Barclays Premier League. However, the Gunners’ brand of beautiful football is equally criticized for its failure to win trophies. Nasri asserted that Arsenal had the most
talented squad in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 last season and feels that the quality of Arsene Wenger’s squad was better than the Barclays Premier League winners, Manchester United.
The Frenchman insisted, “In terms of talent, I feel we had the best squad of the whole league. We played the best football. We were the best team, even if Manchester United had a good season too.”
Nasri wants Arsene Wenger to spend big in the transfer market to buy top players in order to increase the depth and quality of the current Arsenal squad. The 23-year-old playmaker believes that new additions to the current Gunners’ team will surely help
them win trophies in the upcoming 2011/12 season.
“If the boss adds some good players, I really believe a trophy will be won,” added the Frenchman.
Arsenal have already kicked-off their transfer campaign with the signing of highly-rated young defender, Carls Jenkinson, for €1 million from Charlton Athletic. Moreover, the Gunners are heavily linked with number of establish Premier League defenders. Blackburn
Rovers’ skipper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gary-Cahill-c14439, are reportedly top summer transfer targets of Arsene Wenger.
