Supposed Arsenal target Victor Moses looks set to sign for Wigan today, in a deal set to be worth a reported £2.5m.
Personally, I’ve never seen Moses play, and I’m not sure he’s even the sort of player we need right now. We probably do need a striker, with our increasing list of injuries including Eduardo, van Persie and Bendtner, but I can’t see 19-year-old Moses to make a difference this season, and we need a quick impact player. Arshavin worked wonders last season when we signed him, and no doubt turned our season around. We need another signing like him right now.
We’ve been linked with the likes of Saha and Carlton Cole in recent weeks, and these are probably the kind of players that could make a difference this season, but I can’t see us signing any relatively big-name signings.
Either way, I have total faith in Wenger and the current squad, and I have no doubt in my mind that we are more than capable of challenging for silverware this season with our current players.
Wenger has admitted that he does want to sign a big-name striker, but the players available just aren’t right for Arsenal. Chamakh isn’t available, and Wenger even announced David Villa of Valencia isn’t available! Whether or not Wenger has just thrown in the name of Villa to get the fans excited to think that we’re after these sort of players is another story altogether.
“You always want to add a [Cristiano] Ronaldo if you can, but is he available and where is he?
“Marouane Chamakh is not available because he is playing with Bordeaux and Bordeaux don’t want to release him. David Villa as well, Valencia don’t want to let him go.”
Arguably, we have the biggest game of the season ahead of us today against Man United, and if we are to win that one, then we will be in a very good position. If we don’t happen to win, let’s not get down about it. There is a long, long way to go.
