Arsenal have signed Debuchy, Sanchez and hopefully Khedira and/or Bender and Mandquillo in the next few days. With a much improved Exciting times.
Arsenal fans, do you guys think this makes the Gooners title contenders for the upcoming season? I think Arsenal needs a CD if Vermaelan leaves though and a GK to replace Fabianski.
Well there is certainly more depth in the midfield than in previous years, but Arsenal needs to pick up a DM, or else they are just relying on Flamini. They definitely need a keeper, since Szczesny is the only one on the roster. The Sanchez signing was huge, and Debuchy should be an upgrade too. If Arsenal can pull Khedira, a solid cup keeper, and a 4th centerback, they will be a contender. I am interested to see how they balance Sanchez, Walcott, Giroud, Campbell, Podolski, and Ox. I'm expecting something like
-------------------------Szczesny------------------------------
--Debuchy--------Kos--------------Per-------------Gibbs-----
-----------------Artesta--------Ramsay----------------------
------Walcott-------------Ozil---------------Sanchez---------
--------------------------Giroud--------------------------------
But that leaves Cazorla and Wilshere out. It will be interesting to see where Wenger goes with this. It is without a doubt the most talented Arsenal team in years.
