Why not sell Adebayor and buy Villa? I would answer why not sell Almunia and buy Ben Arfa. Ok, perhaps a little extreme but they still have different roles in the side and cannot do the same job
It looks like we already have tied up Sami Nasri (20) and Aaron Ramsey (17) which would be great business by Arsene
Is there something we don't know about? Is it just two mates talking about a wish? or is something happening behind the scenes?
This Ramsey to Arsenal story has picked up a hell of a lot. Every newspaper, website, blog and fluffy animal seem to be convinced that he will join Arsene Wenger's squad after he was impressed with what the Frenchman had to say
I assume there will be a few alterations with that team, perhaps a new center half and I don't think Gilberto will be in the starting 11 next season but it is hard to guess who will start alongside Cesc. I think Denilson will get the nod but we shall see
Arsene Wenger is unsure of the future because we are only in 2008, he has another 3 years on his contract to run and we know that Wenger is a man of his word unlike alot of players
It doesn't stop David Villa being a great player who has openly claimed that he wants to join us but I just feel that there is more important areas in the team to fix.
I have said many times on my site that the idea of buying a commanding center back is more exciting than any other position. We know we can score goals with the current squad
I think we could even win the league next season WITHOUT adding any players to the squad. Obviously I think adding certain players to key areas is important and Arsene knows this but the squad jumped such a massive level last season
I hope Van Basten is careful about how he uses him, as much as we want to see him during the Euro's, getting his form, sharpness and confidence back up we do not want to see him break down
