First half of the current EPL season has been like a dream for North London Club Arsenal, in fact they ruled not only on the field but also on the leaderboard and retained their top position for many months, but injuries to their top performers led them down in the beginning of the second half and they had to give space to others like Manchester City. Despite all that, this league club is still among the top two teams in English topflight, and as per an early estimate, they surely have a better chance to win their dream title if they could refill empty space into their quad. Arsene Wenger, their manager, is positive towards this transfer window and wants to bring some strength into their team that could fill the gap created by injuries and after unavailability of Nicklas Bendtner it has become necessary too; he sprained his ankle on New Year day match with Cardiff City. If we look at dancing league table in last few days, Manchester City and Arsenal are the two teams occupying top spot alternatively and if we look at the beginning of this season, City could not have a dream start, deposit that, they are on the top now which shows they are equally equipped to lead the tally like last season when they ended on the second place.
Wenger understands this raising danger that can shrink their chance to win the trophy hence he is desperate to add some beauty into their team. He said about his honest requirement, “If it is a question of up to three weeks, okay, but if it is a question of months the situation is quite, so that is what we have to determine. We don’t rule anything out. If Bendtner is out for a long time, that is the obvious position. We have to.
“Honestly, you want to keep your chances in the season at the best possible level. Is it for short term or a stop-gap? Ideally, you want a longer solution, but a longer solution looks much more difficult to find in January than a short gap. You can find a solution somewhere – a club that has financial trouble and wants to get rid of a big contract for five or six months, but to find in January exactly the player who will be tomorrow’s star on the longer term is much more difficult.”
In fact, if we scan some recent statements from leading league clubs, each of them is determined to add more strength into their squads which makes remaining league season even more exciting.
