It might be a bit too early to write the current season off for Arsenal, especially as we knew that it was going to be a tough start, with the Gunners having played just two Premier League games so far, but after following up the narrowest of victories at home to Leicester City with another loss at Stoke I doubt there are too many Arsenal fans feeling confident about our title chances right now.
Arsene Wenger has suggested that this is no time to panic and head for the transfer market, but even he must be thinking about what he can do to save this being a repeat of our last campaign and his and the club’s decision to go for another two year contract looking like a terrible one.
So assuming that Wenger has seen the need for improvement, where do you think he might be looking? Surely a centre back has to be one of our transfer targets, although there have been hardly any Arsenal transfer rumours linking us with defenders.
Is this the time for Wenger to change his plans and spend big on a proven top quality player like Virgil Van Dijk? What about central midfield, where Xhaka and Elneny have not exactly shone like stars in recent weeks? And what about another creative player? With Ozil not always able to unlock a defence does the boss need other options, like Mahrez or Thomas Lemar?
Which signings do you think could save our season and give us at least a chance of the title?
Bob.
