Gunner midfield looking nice with Sahin addition, Santos in trouble and Jesus linked

Nuri Sahin is almost a new gunner. The deal has taken so much time as most incoming transfers do for one reason or another. Remember Arshav-IN Arshav-OUT transfer saga? With Sahin our midfield is looking more and more world class. Some will argue we still need a tough tackling ball winning midfielder will "kinda unleash the dogs" get the ball for the team and protect the back 4. Someone like M'villa or Lassana Diarra or whatever Flamini used to. I would welcome Mvilla personnaly! I have no doubt in my mind though that a midfield of Rosicky; Arteta, Sahin, Wilshere, Cazorla and The Ox is as good a midfield as you can get in the premierleague. Add Diaby, Coquelin, Frimpong and Ramsey to that and you even have quite a luxury out there. Talking of Ramsey, he is been in a pretty dreadful form all last year. His confidence would be at an all time low. He could really do with a loan move. Fulham have been monitoring his situation and a move there would suit all parties.
To add my two cents on the DM debate I will just say look no further than Real Madrid and Manchester City : the two champions of the two best leagues in world football! Khedira and Alonso are both common central midfielders so are Barry and Yaya Toure. I rest my case!

As for cases, Santos seems to be in hot water after being cauhgt driving dangerously and failing to stop for police. He is bailed until September according to Scotland Yard! Bad news, really bad news! We don't need any of this right now. Footballers need to wake up and smell the coffee. People are getting tired of all their child like behaviour. It's not acceptable especially at a place like Arsenal. No wonder why we have been linked to Bastos even if the right back looked more urgent!

After starting with Italy (Vieira, Thierry Henry et al) and France; Wenger is now raiding Spain and Germany for players! After Cazorla and Sahin we are reportedly after Jesus, the Sevillan Navas that is! Jesus Navas is a fine footballer a bit Walcottish but with more experience. He is one troubled guy though. He is always homesick and is afraid of the dark. Apparently being named after Lord Jesus, he might be a target of The Devil, no? It might though be his destiny to come over and fight those devils  one day or another. "Jesus downed the red devils" will be some headlines! I can't help but imagine if Navas is to come it might be the end of Theo Walcott. I have been once very excited about Theo but he really never got to the level we all expected him to be. And if reports of him asking for 100grans a week are true I think it may well be time for us to cut our losses on once a bright prospect.

  1. We need M'villa, a right back and a world class striker

    1. We could do with Mvilla and CF but I don't think we necessarily will be found wanted without
