First of all i dont see how Chelsea are in a worse position at all. But its my opinion simple as that, Arsenal have a problem with keepers and that bloke might become a brilliant keeper but Arsenal need to win things now they have waited too long. And like i say although Song has improved no way is he good enough for a top side like Arsenal.
But when you make a post like that, you should be backing it with valid points rather than saying "It was my opinion".
I dont know how anyone can say that about Song. He is better than Mikel and one of the best DM in the league.
And yes Chelsea are in worse position than Arsenal. FFP kicks in next season and Chelsea have a lot of work to do to break even and to add to that your key players are not young. Lampard is 33 and is the key player. With out you struggle. Simple as that.
I made my points did i not?? Song is not a destroyer and when did i say Mikel was better?? Do you really think Chelsea would have spend 70+million if they knew they wouldnt be able to play in the CL?? They either have somthing in the pipeline either a sponsorship deal or they have a loophole in the rule (lets be honest its Uefa so there is proberly one). Every year the same Chelsea's players are old comes out and every year we prove the critics wrong. I wouldnt say Lampard is our key player either, i would say Cech, Cole, Terry, Lampard and Drogba are our key players.
And as i said i made my points:
GK: Szczenedy(sp) could very well become a world class keeper but Arsenal need a proven keeper and have done for years.
DL: Clichy dosent offer enough both attackinly and defensivly for me, he is caught out too many times
DC: Someone to back up Djourou and Vermalen or even better than one of them.
DM: Song has improved but no way is he good enough for a top side like Arsenal
ST: Van Persie is excellent but is made of paper, both Chamakh and Bendtner are useless and they need another proven goalscorer.
Is that good enough for you?
Really Arsene?? I would say you need 5 new players. A GK,DL,DC,DM and a ST.
Well you didn't back it up when you made first 2 posts.
Mikel plays for Chelsea, and Song is so much better than him and easily good enough to play for Arsenal side. Infact he is good enough for top 4 sides.
That young keeper looked very promising, I dont think they need to sign anyone. Madrid didn't when they had Casillas, Juve signed young Buffon. Players learn from their mistakes and by playing. That young GK looks good enough. He makes odd mistake but also comes up with some very good saves. He will only improve though.
They have got good enough CBs, Verma, Djourou, Kos. They only lack 4th choice CB
DM and ST is not at all a problem for them. Song is criminally underrated here.
I would say if you think we need 5 new players to put in a strong title challenge then you are crazy. Really, we need just 2, 3 maximum.
Song is criminally underrated here.
Its my opinion, that dont make me crazy. I see flaws in the Arsenal side and i think my points are valid.
I could say Mikel is underrated on here too? Also you say Mikel plays for Chelsea but he is only a back-up player. When fit its Essien, Ramires and Lampard first choice. You keep making excuses for Arsenal which is fine but somthings wrong isent it??
.
Last season Mikel was regular for Chelsea isn't it. I'm not making excuses, I'm just posting my opinion. Arsenal lack calm head on the field who can hold it together. Apart from that there is nothing much wrong with the team..
Opinions can be crazy.
Mikel has never really been a first team regular at Chelsea, he has been here since 2006 and only made around 160 appearences. So you dont think they need another striker for when RVP is out injured?
Its an opinion that im sure many would share.

Mikel made 25 league appearances, very high for back up player.
Yes they need a back up for RVP. Not the replacement. Chamakh did well in the first half of the season, if they can get some decent back up then that position will be sorted. Its not like its the high priority for them. They need a back up for RB and LB and a proper left winger as i dont think Arshavin is arsed to put in a decent shift.
Not really. Chamakh had a good start and will get better - his first season in England and he played non-stop until Christmas so has been exhausted and then hasn't played enough.
There's not a huge amount wrong with Bendtner.. If you stick a big man like him on the wing, he's inevitably not going to excel.
Also - when RvP's out, other players take the scoring duties - last season it was Fabregas, this season it's been Nasri and Walcott. We don't need another ST IMO.
lol - clearly not a lot of people do judging by the responses..

Ironically he's been much better at tracking back than Nasri recently.
Clearly he didn't like being dropped and has responded really well.
[/QUOTE]25 is not that high of a number for a 16million pound player really is it.
He is unpredictable. I wont trust him. He will track back and all of a sudden loses interest and just give it up. Arshavin is a luxury player. He is pain in the *** for team he plays and also the opposition as other players need to put in extra shift when he turns off and as a opponent i wont be knowing what to expect next from him..
Imo, you lack a proper left winger who can provide decent protection to Clichy..

I think Sakho would be a great signing, with his verstility and leadership qualities. I've never seen a cb pairing with 2 lefties though, and obviously it would be a bit harsh on Koscielny and Djourou if they signed another cb. Would Sakho be good enough to command the left back spot? I'm not sure that he is technically good enough...

Mikel has played 24 league games and made 1482 successful passes (excluding today)
Song has played 26 league games and made 1410 successful passes
You think people underrate Song well i would say you underrate Mikel.
