the squad isn't the most complete or the strongest. but players like ramsey wilshere koscielny walcott giroud give us many option to score goals.

it generally agreed that we create the a lot of chances and also that our strikers miss plentiful as well. so maybe a cavani or falcao would get us more goals.

but its the defensive cover that costs us more. ramsey and wilshere like to play further forward and ozil cazorla poldi are defensively woeful. giroud has to drop deep a lot as well

if we have someone who commands the area and is the enforcer all the players will play with a bit more surety, the passing will improve. ball retention will be better. players will not fear loosing the ball and will be able to express themselves more

so for me, if its just one signing or the marquee signing has to be a DM.

Very good post, sums things up nicely

Absolutely true. Generally in the wenger era when we've been at our best, we've had a petit, Vieira or Gilberto in the team- we haven't had a player like one of those 3 for sometime imo.

So I really hope we'll get a player of that elk these week, please :)

Totally agree.

I know we are desperate for a midfield enforcer, but am not too sure an elk would do a very good job there LG1. But with antlers like that, who knows!

Just kidding buddy :)
