We must improve

As the season progresses, the flaws in our current arsenal team is beginning to show. The injuries are starting to pile up again and our lack of depth is plaguing our trophy hopes. The contract saga, in which Sagna is involved, and the injury facing Koscielny has made our back very vulnerable and as we have seen, Vermaelen is not capable of filling Koscielny's boots.

Our midfield, the only area in our squad that doesnt need reinforcement, has begun to wane in physical and mental strength due to the good form the have produced early in the season and the two important defeats we faced against Napoli and Manchester City. Ozil, our talismanic signing during the summer transfer, has been superb however his inconsistency has made him to fall short of the expectations we had of him. Our formation,4-5-1, has also made it hard for our team to play to its full potential. With this said i can move on to our forwards or in Arsenals case forward; Giroud. Giroud is  in need for some cover. He has played every game since the begininning of the season and fatigue has begun to take its toll. Also the lack of another fantastic striker has put a lot of physical and psychological stress on giroud. Bendtner, Sanogo and Park Chu Young lack the cutting edge that arsenal demand from a striker.

From this brief analysation of our current squad, it is best to say that when the january window opens, we should look for a striker and a defender to increase our squad depth. Also the formation we play needs to be revised so as to bring the best out of our current squad.

Although there are a lot of world class strikers strikers being associated with a january move to the Emirates, we have to take into account that we need a striker that is not cup tied as we have and ill-favoured champions league cup tie against( last years champions) Bayern Munich. This therefore means that players such as Lewandowski, Dortmund; Martinez, Porto; El Shawaary, Ac Milan; Benzema and Di maria, both Real Madrid and Diego Costa, Athletico Madrid are all out of the running to be the next world class player joining Ozil at the Emirates.

So with this said, which world class striker is available to play in the Champions League and is good enough to play in the Premier League ? Well i could only think of three: Radamel Falcoa, Mario Gomez and Giuseppe Rossi.

Radamel Falcao- 27 years old, plays for AS Monaco. Has scored 9 goals in 13 appearances. He would cost arsenal around 40-69 million to get him to sign for us. He is very strong so he would fit in perfectly into the premier league.

Mario Gomez- 28 years old, plays for Florentina. Has scored 2 goals in 3 appearances. He would cost roughly 20 million to pry him from Florentina and he would most likely join in search for champions league football.

Giuseppe Rossi- 26 years old, plays for Florentina. Has scored 14 goals in 18 appearances. He would cost 30million to sign him. He plays a different style of football to Giroud and therefore brings a different style of play to arsenal.

Defenders arsenal could possibly buy as cover up for Koscielny and Sagna are: Ginter, Uchida, Micah Richards or Coleman.

Arsenal shoud also play a 4-4-2 system if a striker is bought playing Carzola,Flamini,Ozil and Walcott in the midfield.
