Arsenal Issues

Many Arsenal fans today are disgruntled. Every bar one goes to, or forum one reads, is rife with comments, by Gunners, exuding contempt and sometimes disgust for Arsene Wenger’s policies. The North Londoners are fifth, with an ever-tenacious Aston Villa, which Arsenal has failed to beat this season, 3 points better. Here are a few questions for Arsenal fans to reflect, and hopefully comment on.

I sent these same questions to Monday Night Football, so if you would like to check whether your views tally with those of expert panelists on Supersport, make sure to catch the exciting show on Monday, at 9 P.M. On Supersport 3:

1. It is common knowledge that Arsenal’s greatest need is an experienced, passionate, and V-12 engine defensive mid, someone like Yaya Toure, or Jimmy Bullard! And yet one neo-Alexandre-Hleb Andrei Arshavin hits the headlines everyday. Does Arsenal REALLY need the Russian striker?

2. We are only 6 points adrift from the summit, and with Eduardo back, and Walcott, Fabregas, Rosicky and Silvestre yet to return (forget Gallas!), can we win the league THIS SEASON? If not, when?

3. Lastly, I believe Nicklas Bendtner is a great striker in the making, much better, to me, than the on-and-off Emmanuel Adebayor. Does anyone agree?

In Arsene you trust?!
