    Should Premier League Clubs Be Looking To Sign Alex Song? The Statistics

    Arsenal have been guilty of letting their best players leave the club over the last few years, and whether or not they have been better off away from the Emirates is an argument for another day. However, with the Mirror suggesting that one of those players - Alex Song - has had enough with life at the club he left north London for, Barcelona, I have decided whether or not he is a worthy investment, in my opinion, for a Premier League side.

    Why Midfielder Who Completed 99% Of His Champions League Passes Would Fit Nicely At Arsenal Or Manchester United

    Players are often ripped apart by statistics whether or not he or she who are judging has seen him in action. I am a firm believer of watching a player and having a good idea what exactly he is about before sharing an opinion on people, or at least try to. This is where this man comes in, Toni Kroos. During Bayern Munich's Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow, The German completed an astonishing 99% pass accuracy from his 80 passes, yet some people widely disregarded him as an average player because he's not mentioned in the same ilk as Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

    Just how good is Aaron Ramsey right now? Form of his life-good is how much, and given that Arsenal have just splashed £40m + on Mesut Ozil, it is a credit to the young Welshman that he is putting in match winning performance after match winning performance. Anyway, through this list I will highlight to you exactly why the young midfielder garners your respect and gaze for the remainder of the season.

    Why Mathieu Flamini will be a success at Arsenal

    A player whose signing won't particularly excite the fans, but equally will not cause mass outrage - he's firmly stuck in the middle of positivity and negativity. Not many signings under the reign of Wenger can be put into that category. If you take Olivier Giroud for example, he did excite the fans, but not as much as say Santi Cazorla or  Lukas Podolski. However, a player like Park Chu Young didn't excite the fans at all, more baffled them. Anyway, Flamini has had a stint at Arsenal before and most fans know how that ended. Now he has returned, but with renewed determination and passion. So I will try and convince Arsenal fans that he is an exciting signing despite the fact that he was signed as a free agent.

    Why Midfielder With 73% Tackles Success Would Be A Perfect Addition To Arsenal

    Sir Alex Ferguson fluffed his lines last year when he allowed Paul Pogba to leave the club. While the wily old Scot was left longing for a powerful midfielder able to drive the whole side forward, Pogba was doing just that for Juventus in Serie A. After a sensational year in Turin, I take a look why the France international would be perfect for Arsenal as they continue their search for a Patrick Vieira type player.

    3 Players Arsenal Need To Offload

    There were smiles across the red half of north London on deadline day as Real Madrid snapped up Gareth Bale before sending Mesut Ozil to the Emirates on a permanent deal. Arsene Wenger would have been swilling his wine ferociously while muttering compliments to himself, but there are some faces in the Arsenal squad that I would consider not good enough. So here are three players who I would get rid of, if I was Arsene Wenger.

    Arsenal Could Beat Manchester United To Midfielder With 90% Pass Accuracy

    Although the £42m signing of Mesut Ozil was hailed as an impressive one by Arsene Wenger, some are still suggesting that the money could have been better spent throughout the Arsenal squad. But some people are never happy, are they? One of those positions was in the centre of defence, while other had their heart set on a powerful defensive midfielder in the Yaya Toure mould. Now, this man may not be build in the same way as Manchester City's bullish Ivorian, but Sami Khedira is a signing that most Premier League clubs would jump at, and the Daily Star are reporting that a move to the Emirates may be on in January.

    Arsenal To Target Centre-Back Who Completed 97% Of His Tackles

    Arsene Wenger was adamant that he had three of the strongest centre-halves in European football last season, with Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny and Thomas Vermaelen in his backline. Fast forward a few months and it's all gone wrong. Vermaelen is yet to play a game as a result of injury, and Koscielny has had a remarkably poor opening few games, receiving a red card and conceded two penalties already. However, the Express believe that the Gunners are ready to go to loggerheads with Liverpool in order to secure a deal for Schalke centre-back Kyriakos Papadopoulos.

    The Importance Of Per Mertesacker To Arsenal

    The final player of my five player special is Per Mertesacker - the Big Friendly German, as Arsenal fans refer to him as, which, whatever way you look at it, it's ironic because he is a scary player. His considerable frame alone is enough to put off some attackers.

    The Importance Of Theo Walcott To Arsenal

    I've been inspired by yesterday's post for my three video blogs for today because I love pointing out, and almost realising myself on some occasions, how important a player is to a team. Today I have a visual aid to assist me, and the player who I have chosen is Theo Walcott. The 24-year-old has been at the centre of criticism for most of his career at Arsenal after bursting on to the scene as a 16-year-old. The reason for this is, until last season, he was very inconsistent and fans started to worry that all of the potential he had as a 16-year-old was already reached by the age of 23/24. However, last season he proved many critics wrong by being Arsenal's top goal scorer with 14 goals. He also grabbed 12 assists in the Premier League also.
