At the start of the last season, Wenger was
deadly keen to sign Baptista after a failed shot on
Robinho, and in that course he overlooked Owen
alleging that Arsenal do not need a striker although
he later signed Adebayor and gave him all the backing
in the world and it is yet to bare fruit , yet when
the beast , finally , came to Arsenal this season,
he is so far to play regularly for the team , as if
, ironically , he will follow the footsteps of Reyes
to be forced on the bench after so keenly being
signed , while in the few times he played, he
couldn’t live up to expectations ; as a matter of fact
Arsenal do not need him as they have too many
midfielders , the virtue that Wenger is trying to
neglect, is that the Gunners are very vulnerable at
the defence and goalkeeping , in tactics and
individuals, although the arrival of Gallas improved
things but not to the ambitions, they still need
Curtis Davis or another defender of the same
capabilities, as well as a better goalkeeper, every
good successful team have an extraordinary goalkeeper,
yet Arsenal can overcome all that weakness , with a
single move , which is to bring in Robinho in place of
Baptista , even if it means to pay some cash more or
give away another player like Gilberto; certainly a
lot of people would think it is irrelevant or even
ridiculous , yet calmly think of it , Robinho is
quite skilful and fast, as well as instinctive goal
scorer and play maker which would put enormous
pressure on the opponent to attack easily , which can
contribute in making up for the misses of the defence
or goalkeeper, in addition to being a prospective
replacement for Henry as he is very much of his
category and calibre , besides that recent Arsenal
inability to transform their supremacy and control of
any game into goals which is what every team play for
, means Arsenal need another prolific striker , while
for Gilberto he is about twenty nine , neither a
holding midfielder nor an attacking one , and Diaby
or Flamini can efficiently fill in, particularly that
they are French which is much favoured by Wenger ,
with no offence, in any match, watch and count
Gilberto’s passes and tackles and find out how many
failed ones he makes , although he is a hardworking
player; even if all that is not true , Robinho
deserves the sacrifice , also it would mean that
Adebayor and Aliadere , can be sold or sent on loan
to secure some cash and a chance to sign another
defender and goalkeeper, those two players among
others would never have made to Arsenal without
Wenger’s biasing toward French or French based players
, certainly Bentley , Pennant , or Jeffers were not
inferior to them be rejected at the first call ,
while after three unsuccessful years and loan spells
for Aliadere , still he can find a place in the first
team , or even Johnson could not be as convincing for
Wenger to be signed as Adebayor was ; and this
attitude of Wenger on insisting on incompetent players
like for example Cygan , or Almunia , Song Bellong ,
.. etc. , just to prove himself has been causing
Arsenal a lot , and the people who would mention
Wallcot , it is almost certain that he will spend
the next two seasons on the bench , then sent on loan
as a prelude to getting rid of him , while few years a
go , Anelka who was as promising or may be less , yet
was treated as the untouchable spoiled kid of Wenger ,
certainly in the past ten years Arsenal were
marvellous which should be credited to a collective
work of Wenger and his colleagues , but when will
they start nursing their own home grown talents
rather than “Cultivating others land and breeding
others herd “.
