What's the matter with Arsenal?

Its been three weeks since my previous post and since then Arsenal have slumped to three consecutive
defeats in Premier League something that a team like Arsenal would not be expected to do. This recent dismal run of form has had more severe repercussions than just 9 points lost. One of the major outcomes of that run has been a complete loss of faith in the manager and also to some extent in the players. For probably the first time in Wenger's illustrious career, fans are actually calling for his head. I personally feel these accusations are not justified as according to me Wenger is the best man to have at Arsenal at the moment. I am shocked at outraged at the fact that some fans are even suggesting Mourinho is a better man for the job. I for one would not want a man who pokes his opponent's eyes out, leading my favourite club.

Nevertheless the fans do have a point in saying that Wenger is being too stubborn. Arsenal can no longer dominate possession even against teams like Swansea. They are at the moment completely outclassed in all departments as the recent match against United testifies and still for some strange reason Wenger feels a new signing will not help. Well if he signs some random guy from the 8th division Belgian League,  it obviously will not help(with all respect to the 8th division Belgian League).

I really hope that Arsenal can somehow pull off a recovery because if they dont, we may be faced with another mass exodus in the summer. At the moment everything except the goalkeeping department is not on the right track and needs attention if Arsenal ever feel the need for some silverware.

Tevez to AC Milan!?

I am a little surprised that the media have not felt that Tevez's transfer to AC Milan is a little strange. Wasn't his homesickness the main reason he wanted to leave, if so then why AC Milan? The distance from
Manchester to Buenos Aires is 8638 km and the distance from Milan to Buenos Aires is 9616 km. So what is really puzzling me is why he would move a further 1000 km away from home? This sort of logic is not uncommon in footballers these days but at least Tevez is sane enough to transfer to a top European club instead of certain clubs in Russia or China.

The only possible explanation I can think of as to why Tevez would move is because he wants to revive his career. He was City's hero last year, amazing people with his phenomenal work rate and passion but all of a sudden he did something uncalled for and is now left to rot in the reserves. As he has no chance of ever playing for City, he probably wants to move for footballing reasons.

Whatever is running through his mind, I wish him good luck as I really hope to see the former Tevez back,the one who terrorised defences with his pace and skill.

The Legend is back!

With just the final few things left to be sorted out, it is already virtually confirmed that Thierry Henry will be returning to Arsenal. It was a deal Wenger could not turn down and it has arrived  hardly two weeks after Henry was immortalised in stone outside the Emirates. Now the burning question, Is he still good enough and is he risking his reputation?

I say yes to the first and no to the second. Wenger has been known to make wise decisions and the fact that he has decided to bring back a 34 year old player means that Henry will definitely make the cut.
About Henry's rep, I say that the rep he has earned for his previous accomplishments will always remain with him and now he has a chance to increase it.

Now what can henry bring to the Arsenal side? If not anything, Henry's arrival will lift the whole squad's moral as they finally have a legend in the dressing room.
I dont care what Paul Parker thinks about this transfer as the signing of a legend can only mean a successful 2012. Happy New Year to all the Gooners out there!
