First off all I want to wish a very Happy New Year to all our readers from the Arsenal Banter team, and if Arsene Wenger is correct it is going to a good year for Arsenal too!
The Gunners finally made it up to fourth place in the Premiership, but it certainly hasn’t been an easy passage. “It has been a difficult year where we had ups and downs,” Wenger said. “But overall we maintained the club at the top by qualifying for the Champions League, by qualifying for the last 16 in the Champions League, by coming back into a strong position having lost many players during the summer and having been hit by injuries,”
“It is a year that shows there is something special about this Club, that even when the boat is a bit rocked by a strong storm we can still maintain a top level and the solidarity in the Club has been fantastic. That’s why I feel 2011 in the future will be a significant year for the club.”
“We will be more stable, I am absolutely convinced about that,”
“I have a very strong belief in the team we have at the moment. They have not won over everybody’s hearts yet but they are settling in with the type of football we play. I am confident 2012 can be Arsenal’s year.
Its always good to be able to enter the New Year in an optimistic mood, and the way things are going Arsenal really could win the League, despite their terrible start.
here is my special advice to my coach the special one,arsene wenger please iwent you to buy some new players atleast three new signing.one striker,one midfielder&one strong defender.
Pls.wenger as u said 2012 wil be our year.if dat is true n ur mind u need 2 make 3 signng striker,midfield nd defence.in attack 1 of podolski,pato,olivier giroid at midfield 1 of hazard,gotze,granero. In defence left back baines,cissoko,
Dammit … no matter what i feel as long as wenger says its alright i can’t help but agree with him!
realistically,we always can win the league,be real title contenders every season,but,wenger always comes short,its always his decision making that lets us down.eg not buying players when necessary in key positions especially when we are plagued with key injuries that re occur like the left back we need one more permanently to rotate santos coz gibbs is injury prone,a sub for song,because if injured or fatigue checks in we are doomed,same goes for persie.now,wenger gives false hope about changes and doesn’t make them.second,he needs to play layers on merit,what does rosicky have to do to become a regular this season despite his performances suggesting he’s far much better than ramsey who is very complacent in his position,same to playing arshavin who lacks effort instead of playing oxlade or benayoun,and this point in particular lets him down every season,he needs to start playing players on performance merit and let the best player start games coz it also encourages competition in the team than having his fixed team that he favors,till then we can be optimistic,but now,no!
