Will Arsenal Still Be Top Dogs Come May?

Like I've said from the start of season and I will carry on saying it. Arsenal will not win the league! We have Ozil so what? Ramsey is putting in world class displays so what? but with the great midfield that we have and had over the past seasons. A midfield alone will not win you a cup competition let alone the league. We have too many liabilities at the back of the park. Sagan is not once the great right back that he was when he first came here and as good as Mertsacker is he can be exposed due to his lack of pace.

You Arsenal fans can call me pessimistic and not really backing my team. But lets be honest Ozil as great as he is who in my opinion is the best attacking midfielder in the world can not win us the league, we may have so much depth in midfield, but so did Chelsea last season and they came up short in the league even though they did well in the cup competitions. If they had performed defensively well they would have gone far in the Champions League and done well in the league but like I say and will always say defenses wins you leagues not your attacking options. We may have great midfielders like Ozil, Ramsey and Jackie Boy on the books
but are they gonna help us concede less goals? I think not.


There was something that my manager told me and colleague once he mentioned if Arsenal sign an out and out striker in January. Then league is ours I agree but with so many strikers to choose from it's really hard to choose I would love to have Loic Remy come in the winter window, he's fast, skilful and someone that has eye for goal someone that I feel that we've been missing since RVP left. I also feel that we need to sign a defender that is versatile preferably a center back that can fill in the full back positions as I fell Gibbs is injury prone, Jenkison is too inconsistent and we need more quality defenders.


This weekend will be a big test as we face United, who are going through a blip this season but are slowly coming back to form. To me this match will prove if we really are title contenders because if we cant be the big boys of this league like United, Chelsea and Man City then I don't think we should be with in a shout of being title contenders.
