Agreed Charlie. Apart from the Diaby bit!

Diarra from Real Madrid would be a great option, but he’s just been stung by a long-term injury which has ruled him out for the season, hence the reason Madrid signed the other Diarra.

As for centre backs, Senderos may improve after his spell with AC Milan, maybe this is what Wenger is expecting or hoping for.

A defensive midfielder is certainly a must – along with a central defender. But Arsene seems stubborn to make players stick to a specific role in the team, and that’s what really seems to be out problem this year.

With a midfield as attacking as ours a holding player is essential. I think Diaby is a good enough tackler and keeper of the ball – but Wenger needs to play him infront of the defence and get him to play simple; break up the play and pass, make the occasional surge forward at the right time, just like Paddy used to do.

The other option is obviously to buy someone already in that mold, but I’m not sure how many ‘world class’ players are out there in that position. Chelsea have arguably the best in Essien, Man U have a few – Hargreaves, Carrick… Liverpool have Alonso and Mascherano, and Villa have Barry. There are a few prospects abroad – Yaya Toure etc… But none of them are completely convincing and most of the best players play in the premiership already…

Central defence is also a problem of balance. Gallas and Toure are both too wayward and need to play alongside someone solid as opposed to together. We need a holding defender to fill Cambell’s shoes . Level headed, strong and capable of leading the defence. In theory we should be able to fill this position a lot easier than the one in midfield. There are plenty of world class centre backs out there….

I believe Wenger needs to get rid of Song, Eboue, bendtner and maybe van persie as we need players proven quality who will produce consistent form week in week out. Wenger is a very Good manager but he has never won any back to back titles while managing Arsenal. Also in other countries were Wenger has managed teams such as France and Japan wenger only won the league title with Monaco in France along with French cup. In Japan Wenger won J-League Super Cup (1996 ) and the Emperor’s Cup(1996)with Nagoya Grampus, he never won any titles in Japan. Now my point is Wenger has had a limited success on building a consistent thread of success when he produced league winning teams. Both his rivals Alex Fergison and Jose Mourinho have had back to back title success as theses mangers know how to strengthen their squads after producing title winning teams. Not even think of Wengers Euro Record with Aresenal is abysmal, as Wenger has been manager of Arsenal Since 1998 and even though Arsenal has qualified for Europe every year to date, Arsenal has only been runners up in Europe in 2000 in theUEFA Cup and (2006) UEFA Champions League, this is all we have to show in Europe for 20 years of football (this is rubbish!)
To go to the next level Wenger needs proven quality players who can give that additional strength, experience and depth to our current squad.
players such as Zaki, David Villa, Arteta, Bellmany, Daniel Sturridge, Defoe, Richardo Fuller, Stephen Ireland and David James need to be bought by us as we need players who are in-form and proven players in the premiership.
Aresnal need 2 hot in-form Strikers (Strikers who only need 1 chance to put the ball in the net), 2 all action type Midfielders in the Roy Keane, Steven Gerrad and Patrick Veria mould and a World class goal-keeper who is a born shot stopper and then we need 2 additional centre backs who are comfortable on the ball, can head the ball, who are very quick and are all round solid like Ferinand or Vidic.
I rest my case, Wenger take a close look at your success and step up to the plate and change your management style. As Wenger just needs to fine-tune things and everything will be alright at Arsenal.

Well The thing is the players we need don’t come cheap and are they even on the market?
Wenger fully knows what he needs the problem is we lost out on the bidding on more then a few players.

Wenger wanted Michael Essien, he would have filled that role Song is trying to fill.
At best I think we might be able to pickup one key player in the center back or defensive midfield but
Really we need another Tony Adams a player that not only is great defensively but can also organize the younger players because it is not skill but positioning that is hurting our defense.

But unless management is ready to spend big.
After building the stadium I just do not think they have the cash to get in bidding wars over top players your best chance is better organization of what we have.

Whoever wrote this article I couldn’t agree with you more, all the points you’ve highlighted are bang on, and believe you me we aren’t the only ones who think the same.

Goalkeeper: For me a keeper has to be consistant and our number one is bad. In fact the numbers prove he is one of the best granted we’ve leaked alot of goals but our defence has been great either. He maybe a fourth rate Spanish International wanting to turn English but his confidence like Lens will grow. Afterall could be worse we could have Gomes… I could kiss Ramos for that signing!

Defence: Our full-backs are the best in the Premiership I dont care what anyone says. Going foward they are world-class, and the way Clichy kept Ronaldo quiet at the Emirates proves he can compete with the best. The main problem with our defence is draw to the center-backs. In my opoinion we still got the better deal with the Cole transfer, Gallas is still world-class. At Chelsea and against United this proved this completely flawless. With regard to the other guys they are all good enough our main problem is that we have no height. Mertesacker would be ideal but will Wenger buy he i doubt it. I’ll even put in a couple of quid for the transfer.

Midfield: The defensive midfield position for me is where i can see Wenger spending the money we have leaked so many goals missing our holding man and losing Gilberto and Flamini and not having any replacments other than Song (will be good in time) there is no one to fill the void. Having the two Toure brothers together would be a fantastic partnership but there has been alot of talk and no action. Somebody give him a pen!

Attack:
I was quite shocked Wenger didn’t make a bid for the Hunter over the summer and now that he has shipped of to Real to join his follow countryman we have missed out on the chance to pair Van.Persie with another dutchman which would of worked well. So realiastic replaces Podolski wants out as he hasn’t been played but will Arsenal beat the new money of City… I doubt it.

When it comes down it though I can’t see Wenger at this point in the season using the window for more than one tranfser. We all know his style of dabbing in the market so for the big money buys (if they ever happen) the likes of Benzema will come in the summer… well maybe one day.
