That we effing sign someone already!!!
I expect a similar season to this year actually....minus the big flaming pile of poo that they laid earlier in the season....top 4 finish and a push in the Champions League. I'd love for them to win some kind of trophy this year, but if the roster stays status quo, I just don't buy it.
With Adebayor gone, it gives a bunch of the kids a chance to fully prove themselves. And I have a feeling the standard 4-4-2 will not happen for Arsenal this year. But with Eduardo back, along with Bendtner, Vela, Van Persie and Walcott, we can be pretty diverse up front.
On the back, the addition of Vermaelen should add some nastyness, with the other positions going to the kids like Gibbs, Clichy, Sagna, Djourou. And we still have those servicable CB's like Sylvestre and Gallas (puke!).
Midfield is the scariest....I mean sure we have Fabergas and Arshavin, and we get Rosicky back from injury. But we are goingt o depend a whole lot on Diaby, Denilson and Ramsay to play holding mid, which scares the crap out of me. And the fact that NAsri is out for a few month....this will be the definate weakness of the team. Which sucks, because we have one of the best midfielders in the game (Cesc, maybe I'm the only one who thinks that).
So......if you don't want to read my ramblings, I expect a top 4 finish and a competative team in all the cups/Champions League.
