Bayern Target Arsenal Defender, But Wenger Needs To Keep Hold If He Is Serious About Silverware

Bayern Munich are almost unplayable right now. After completing the treble last year, which consisted of the Bundesliga, the Champions League and the German cup, they currently sit top of the top tier after 13 rounds of games. And now, according to the Metro, they are targeting a key player from the Arsenal defence, who themselves are top of their domestic league.

Why is the Number 10 role so important?

This is actually quite a new phenomenon, or at least it's importance is new. In the past the 'number 10' has usually been the secondary striker, or in more simple terms, the player that plays behind the striker. Dennis Bergkamp was a famous 'number 10' and one of the best. Henry was the player that played beyond him with Dennis instigating most attacks. However, these 'number 10's' could also play as the main striker if needs be. In this day and age, the 'number 10' role is often played by the attacking midfielder. So a few current examples are Mesut Ozil, Juan Mata and David Silva. They will still instigate most attacks but will not be a replacement striker.

An early look at the Champions League contenders

In my opinion there are eight contenders this season: Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus. But which ones of them top the list?

A closer look at Toni Kroos

For my last video I want to talk more in depth about one of my top 10 favourite players in Europe at the moment. The Bayern Munich man oozes class and quality which is what I adore about him. With Bayern signing Mario Gotze and Thiago Alcantara, his place in the team has come under increasing threat. If he is dislodged from the team, in my opinion, he's too good to be a back up. This is an Arsene Wenger style signing, potentially available and the possibility to get him at a reduced price due to his contract expiring in the summer of 2015. Bayern will not want Kroos to enter the final year of his contract with teams prowling around him.

The Importance Of Tomas Rosicky To Arsenal

The shaggy looking 32-year-old Czech Republic international perhaps hasn't enjoyed the career he would have wanted at Arsenal, with all the injuries he's suffered since his arrival back in 2006 from Borussia Dortmund. Now, I've picked up on Rosicky's importance fairly early on but I haven't yet had the platform to write an article on my thoughts. But the time has come, so sit back and hear my thoughts as to why Rosicky is as important to Arsenal as any other player on the pitch. Unless you've already realised this of course - it's surprising the amount of people that haven't in all honesty.
