After amazing run lately, I will take back my words that Arsene Wenger should leave. I have the highest respect towards him that he can bring glory to The Gunners. Arsenal's recipe of recent success: no Djourou, the rebirth of Rosicky, the arising of the Gunner's wonderkid Ox-Chamberlain in center-midfield, no mistake in defends, and top class goalkeeper performance of Szczesny.
These recent form of Arsenal awakening, are largely due to their change in tactics; from high-possession-game-controller-passing-around-in-midfield to fast pace attacking move. And that's real Arsenal!
But due to fact that the arise of Arsenal form also cause by the individual performances, which definitely won't last forever, they badly need reinforcement in the next summer transfer.
Again, loaded with £55 millions transfer kitty, surely Wenger will use it wisely. Name that are related to Arsenal Next season:
Lukas Podolski (German)
Current club: Cologne
Position played: Striker / Winger / Second Striker
Potential value: £10.9 millions
Likeliness to join: 95%
Other possible destination: Anzhi
My comments: With already both player and the club already agreed both personally and transfer value, and he was also rumoured already passed medical, he will surely confirm to be The Gunner next season.
Eden Hazard (Belgium)
Current club: Lille
Position played: Natural Winger and attacking Midfielder
Potential value: £26 to £35 millions
Likeliness to join: 50%
Other possible destination: Totenham, Manchester United (Chelsea already pulled out of the race)
My comments: Already stated his desire to join between Arsenal or Totenham, equipped with all Arsenal's dream skills and technique, fits in the Arsenal's play and strategy, he will join Arsenal next season. Unfortunately, Arsene Wenger are well known for his reluctant tto sign any player that are in bidding war with other big club. He maybe end up snapped up by Manchester United or Totenham. That is cruel.
Mario Gotze (German)
Current club: Borussia Dortmund
Position played: Attacking midfield
Potential value: £25 - £30 millions
Likeliness to join: 10%
Other possible destination: Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona
My comments: Arsenal's hope to sign him were dashed when he stated his intention to play in LA Liga with Real Madrid or Barcelona. If he were to play for Premier League, he said that Manchester United would be his preferred destination. But if Arsene Wenger's produce a miracle to convince him, signing Gotze will make Arsenal as big treat to any club in the world next season.
Yann M'vila (France)
Current club: Rennes (France)
Position played: Defensive Midfield
Potential value: £25 millions
Likeliness to join: 35%
Other possible destination: Totenham, Liverpool, Real Madrid
My comments: After recently admitted by Rennes's manager that M'vila will leave the club this summer, the news had alerted most of the club that keep track of him. In Arsenal's squad, they already have Song, Coquelin and Frimpong that played similar position of M'vila, there is likely Arsenal won't make the move for him. Come on, this is Arsene Wenger you talking about, not Kevin Keegan. But he did played the Arsenal way, moving around, keeping position, orchestrate the attack from the back, make killer back when the opportunity arise. He is way intelligent player.
Jan Vertonghen (Belgium)
Current club: Ajax
Position played: Defender, Left Back, Defensive Midfielder
Potential value: £10 millions
Likeliness to join: 20%
Other possible destination: Manchester United, Totenham, Newcastle United
My comments: Very versatile defensive minded player, could prove vital for Arsenal's team, with known for their injury proneness, especially in defends. For me, he won't make this move, as they already have lots of 1st class defensive player to choose from, Vermaelen, Kosielny, Metresacker, Song.
David "Junior" Hoilett (Canada)
Current club: Blackburn Rovers
Position played: Natural left winger
Potential value: £4 to £8 millions
Likeliness to join: 50%
Other possible destination: Liverpool, Bayern
My comments: Arsenal keep on searching for natural left winger could be ended here, as Junior Hoilett could prove to be the answer. Young, fast pace, technical, and very cheap! As Blackburn are heading to relegation, Hoilett must sign to other club as his ability is too expensive to play in Coca-cola Championship.
Moussa Dembele (Belgium)
Current club: Fulham
Position played: Left Winger, Second Striker, Striker
Potential value: £15 millions
Likeliness to join: 20%
Other possible destination: Liverpool, Totenham
My comments: A offensive playmaker could prove to be Arsenal attacking key next season if he were to join Arsenal. Play much more like Theirry Henry, steady, fast pace, high teamwork and work rate, just less flair and technical ability. But Arsene definitely won't sign him if Podolski sign contract with the Gunners. For me, Arsenal's needs Dembele.
Youssef Msakni (Tunisia)
Current club: Espérance Sportive de Tunis
Position played: Attacking Midfielder
Potential value: £4 millions
Younès Belhanda (Morocco)
Current club: Montpellier
Position played: Attacking Midfielder, Winger
Potential value: £15 millions
Olivier Giroud (France)
Current club: Montpellier
Position played: Striker
Potential value: £16 millions
Peter Odemwingie (Nigeria)
Current Club: West Bromwich Albion
Position played: Striker
Potential value: £8 millions
Marvin Martin (French)
Current Club: Sochaux
Position played: Playmaker Center Midfield, Attacking Midfield
Potential value: £12 millions
*Arsenal did not need to spend to overhaul the squad. Arsene Wenger may not buy any of these players at all.
