Although I agree with most people about this current Arsenal squad having the most ability and depth that we have seen at the club in many years, I still feel that Arsene Wenger must use the winter transfer window to fix a few problems and give the team a vital boost for the second half of the season.
One of the reasons I think the boss needs to do some business in January is to cope with the usual lengthy injury list at Arsenal, even though the sports injury website physioroom.com shows that the Gunners are hoping to get back a number of players over the next few weeks in the shape of Aaron Ramsey and Shkodran Mustafi.
They should be able to hit the ground running but others like Welbeck and Mertesacker who have been out for a while may take some time before getting back to their usual level. And knowing Arsenal there will be more injuries to come so I feel that Wenger must expect this and strengthen accordingly.
I also feel that Arsenal must take some of the pressure off the two main men, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. Even if they stay fit which is by no means certain, they will not stay fresh unless Wenger can give them a rest every now and then.
The title race is not over for Arsenal but we have to be very good and extremely consistent in the second half to stand any chance of becoming champions. So will the Frenchman use the January window? And will it be able to save our season?
Bob.
