The current reigning and defending
Well, as noone has mentioned this so far I will.
Manchester Utd 8 vs 2 Arsenal
Just let that sink in for a minute. One of the biggest teams in the country was utterly humiliated in one of the most amazing results I have ever seen. This just goes to prove once and for all that Arsenal's transfer policy just isn't working any more. Players are just looking at them as a stepping stone to the really BIG clubs, which is a shame
They arent blessed with many quality players any more. The keepers are second rate, the strikers aren't anywhere near as good as those at Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea or Liverpool and the financial gap between them and the other big teams is clearer than ever.
Arsenal need to buy. They need proven quality players, not just young kids like Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is good but is the answer for the future, not for now. They need to shell out and buy a proven goalscorer, and some good centre halves with experience...like Jagielka, Mertsacker from Werder Bremen (who they are in talks with) or Gary Cahill from us- give a fair offer and he is yours, we need the money.
Wenger needs to go to his board and demand some serious money. Without it, Arsenal may fail to make the top 4, the remaining quality players like Van Persie, Arshavin etc will want to go, they will miss out on the big bucks of the Champions League and the financial gulf between them and the other big teams will increase further. Plus, not being in the top competition in club football not persuade the top name players to play for the club.
Arsenal NEED to strengthen, as they are not the force they once were. As much as I truly despise Arsene Wenger, and believe me I do, I felt a little sorry for him as such a proud guy was humilated and made to look second rate by a Man Utd side that has really strengthened this summer. Phil Jones and Ashley Young look fantastic signings. But, then I realised it was Wenger...and laughed
