Arsenal must beef up its market

Arsene Wenger, whose team finished on the kneecaps and 4th place in the Premier League feels "responsible for the results" of Arsenal. The Gunners manager announces a more active transfer market where profiles will be privileged and powerful sound. But not at any price.

The recent history of Arsenal is made ​​promises as much as frustration. The year 2010/2011, which ended Sunday, was no exception to the rule. For ten months, the Gunners have oscillated between moments of grace and disheartening moments. And, finally, ended without a new trophy since the League Cup, including Arsenal played the final, spun to Birmingham City, relegated Championship Sunday. Premier League, the Londoners were fourth. Next summer, they will pass through the dam for the Champions League match in the prestigious European competition. But before that, they will rearm.

The advantage with Arsenal is that gaps and weaknesses are identified. Also identified. The Gunners are certainly not devoid of talent. But now they need the experience and probably a player on each line. Experienced if possible, to solidify the building that has often pitched, especially when Arsenal became physically move. "We showed we had the technical quality to win the championship but certainly not the defensive solidity, " admitted Wenger. "We need to win power in some areas of the game" Strength, power: the manager of the club has understood and made ​​his mea culpa on Monday.

I think I am responsible for results and I am very disappointed. The players have shown outstanding attitude, "he says in the letter he sent weekly to supporters of the club. If the Alsatian regrets the injury of van Persie, Fabregas and Vermaelen, who sealed the Gunners He is also aware that we should move up a gear: "We will try to rectify that this summer and buy good players. Money is not always related to the quality but if we find good players, we spend money. "

Arsenal, which is now under control of American billionaire Stan Kroenke, has a big gap to fill. Manchester City, Chelsea or Manchester United, to a lesser degree, took a lead that is - largely - due to their financial efforts. The Gunners should engage in arms race, driven by their supporters who have called Sunday at their direction to make efforts in song. "Spend Some Money" (ie: spend a little money), they sang on Sunday in the stands at Craven Cottage after the match against Fulham (2-2). What Wenger replied today: "Even if people are asking us to spend money, we must be realistic: you can not buy players for 60 million." LORD problem. For an eternal?
