Reinforcements Required, Cup Final & That Trophy Primate
If he wants a final supermarket dash, then go wild in the aisles my Gallic, dreadlocked friend. You could've been a legend though. I personally think Jenko needs another season, preferably on loan that would give him 25-30 games, but at 22, he can't be far away from being 1st choice. If he is, then he needs to go. If he ends up being the 1st choice RB and Bellerin ends up promoted to back-up, which I think is a distinct possibility, then I also think this could work, but I would worry. Either way he'll get my full support. We could always bring dancing Eboue back?
The Fabianski situation I'm less bothered about. He has been a good custodian recently between the sticks and his saves have given us a chance to finally put a shiny thing in a cupboard. He has also been a patient servant for our club, but we can find a decent back-up, hell, if Viviano actually gets a chance to show Wenger what he can do there's a ready-made replacement waiting in the wings. If not, then just pop down to GK's R Us and sign an able deputy, shouldn't be too much hard work.
Where else do we have chinks in our armour? It is quite obvious to many that CDM is an area that could do with reinforcements. Arteta, whilst economic with possession and a very cool head (and hair) on the pitch, has shown signs that his legs aren't able to muster the exertions that the PL demands week after week. He's not been a liability, far from it, but to challenge for the summit a climber must have the BEST equipment. We must sign a CDM. Bender (snigger) has been bandied around. I've had a look at his stats and they seem to match up, he's very highly rated so let's invest. Wenger, take that pen out of your pocket and place the nib on the chequebook. It's time to take that step.
Our very own Terminator, TV5, has grown disenchanted with his role as Chief Benchwarmer. I think he's been incredibly unlucky with injuries and the mercurial form of BFG and Kos, but if he wants to go, then let him go. That does leave a rather big aperture in our defensive ranks. The cyborg could ably play at the back, so we would need a talented CB who would be happy playing understudy for a few years until BFG decides it's time to put down roots and go and live with the rest of the trees in Retirement Forest. Musacchio at Villareal is a 23yr old CB who has been earning rave reviews. You've also got Hummels at BVB. There are more. To cut this strand short, there's f*cking loads of CB's Arsene can choose from. He's got the moolah, it's time to flaunt it like a kiss 'n' tell specialist.
It will take upwards of £70m in my ever so humble opinion to give us the depth we need to hurdle over the inevitable injury woes we will get next season and beyond. We have that. We also have a spine of players that, if Lady Luck and El Mohamady are kind, will last the majority of the season. Szczesny, Kos, BFG, Gibbs, Ramsey, JW10, Santi, Ozil, Theo. That is the vertebrae of a potentially, very successful side. It's enough to draw admiring, envious glances. It's the gorgeous woman in the bar you've been lucky enough to hook up with but now you're concentrating on the other guys who want her, rather than on the stunning specimen in front of you. What a team this could be.
FK on the Bergkamp Wonderland podcast said that this is quite an exciting time for us. If luck and form shine on us, with a couple of well placed fat cheques we could be revelling in glory come next May. The factions who aren't confident in Wengers capacity to splash the cash can at least admit that if everyone stays fit, we WILL compete. It starts on the 17th. The Final Vs Hull.
Cup Final
On the 17th May is our best opportunity since Kos and Szczesny decided to have a prolonged natter on the subject of quantum mechanics as a ball got pumped into the box. It is a game of massive magnitude. Not in monetary terms, but to get that ape off our backs that the media so lovingly placed there. They love that f*cking primate.
On paper, that world where everything is so simple, no grey areas, (Rooney hates that) we should annihilate the Tigers. In CM, we will have Ramsey. Up against a man with the adaptability and movement of a manatee with constipation, Tom Huddlestone. Their defence has Liam Rosenior, Curtis Davies, James Chester and Maynor Figueroa. It's not exactly f*cking Baresis' Milan. Up top, they will have Sagbo. SAGBO.
As I said, on paper, we will win handsomely, with Ozil showboating to such a degree that Rosenior will go to hospital with twisted testicles. Ramsey will provide so much torment that it will force the Hull players mothers onto the pitch to tell our Welsh genius to leave their poor boys alone. Szczesny will be so bored he will bring Travel Scrabble with him and smash a Triple Word Score on his opponent, the ballboy (Polish words don't count Woj). On paper. Every year makes every opportunity to rid ourselves of the chimp that leetle-beet more difficult. The occasion shouldn't be too much for our Euro-hardened players. Talent isn't everything, but it sure as f*ck gives us a headstart. So I'm confident with an undertone of panic. I'm not going to predict the result, instead, I'll bask in the Emirates glow, cross all my fingers and pray to Dennis that this will be the inaugration of one of our greatest sides, the start line for our glorious run to titles and trophies. The potential is there. Let's be positive. #UTA
