      Gunners Consider Arteta Replacement - Why Real Madrid Star Could Do Well At Arsenal

      In the world of football today, it is not uncommon to see players ply their trade in a number of different positions. Additional positions have been created, such as a defensive midfielder, secondary striker and so on. As all of these require a multitude of different strengths, those that have played in them will acquire skills to play in other positions. For example, a box-to-box midfielder may be able to play as a full-back because they have been taught how to attack and defend.

      THREE Players That Arsenal Should Send Away From The Emirates Before Next Season

      Arsenal fans will have a huge smile on their faces today as Mathieu Debuchy and Alexis Sanchez edge closer to signing for the Gunners. The thought of being able to compete with big teams for a world class player is too much for some, and many of those people have taken to the internet to express their relief. However, with this influx of new players something will have to give and a few players have been selected to be sold or go out on loan. This is not just to free up wages, but also to make sharing playing time viable and ensure everyone is happy.

      Gunners Eye Three Players - Why Triple Deal Would Show Huge Intent From Arsenal

      Arsenal have not yet made a signing for the first team and Arsene Wenger has been criticised for this, especially as most of their rivals have already secured some big money-players. Manchester United have bought Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera. Chelsea has secured Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa. Liverpool have been very busy and signed Adam Lallana, Emre Can and Rickie Lambert, while Manchester City have bought Fernando from FC Porto and picked up Bacary Sagna who was a free agent. They have all spent on key positions which need improving, but now it is time for the Gunners to show that they mean business.

      A Closer Look At Arsenal - Why The Gunners Can Win The Premier League Next Season

      Arsenal last won the Premier League in the invincible season of 2003/04, which is starting to feel a long, long time ago. Everyone from that team has long gone, including the likes of Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera and Dennis Bergkamp. Could next season be the year the Premier League title finally returns to Arsenal's trophy cabinet?

      Schneiderlin Is A Good Option For Arsenal - Why The Gunners Should Go For Saints Star Over Real Madrid Man

      It is well documented that Arsenal are chasing a new defensive midfielder to give the Gunners an alternative to Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini. Arsene Wenger is certainly eying a much younger, fitter and overall better midfielder to ensure that his defence get the best cover he can afford. With increased cover for his defenders, it could help them in the games that they tend to struggle in and prevent any chance of complete and utter capitulation.

      Schneiderlin Linked With Arsenal - Why The Saints Star Is Not The Midfielder The Gunners Need

      Arsenal are expected to strengthen this summer after their promising title challenge last season ran out of steam when it mattered. An area that has perhaps been overlooked amongst the talks of strikers and wingers is the centre midfield. Presently the Gunners rely on Mikel Arteta as their only real holding midfielder of any quality, but questions remain regarding his ability to play that position. Arteta has a very impressive pass accuracy of 92% over the past season, although he seems to lack the defensive abilities that Arsene Wenger’s side have been missing.

      Arsenal Look At Lars Bender - Why The German Star Would Improve The Gunners

      Earlier I suggested that a reason behind the potential departure of Mikel Arteta was because Arsenal were targeting fresh faces in that department. I argued that Arteta shouldn't be sold if the Gunners do sign a new holding midfielder and I will stand by that point even if we see someone new in Arsenal colours.

      Arteta Linked With La Liga Move - Why Arsenal Should Keep Hold Of The Spanish Midfielder

      Now that the dust has settled on the Bacary Sagna saga, there hasn't been much big news in terms of outgoings at Arsenal. Lukasz Fabianski has left for Swansea and rarely used forwards Nicklas Bendtner and Park Chu-Young are set to be released by the club. Apart from such fringe players, fans of the Gunners have not really had to worry about any departures from the Emirates Stadium.

      Arteta Linked With Move Away From Arsenal - Why Gunners Should Let Him Leave

      Mikel Arteta is a player who does not stand out when playing in the Arsenal first team. Although he was deployed as an attacking outlet when on the books of Everton a few years ago, he has dropped into a holding spot alongside Mathieu Flamini at Arsenal and he goes about his job without making a fuss. But he could be on his way out of the Emirates this summer according to reports.

      Where Exactly Does Mikel Arteta Fit In At Arsenal?

      Arsenal are a side currently flooded with midfield ability. While Mathieu Flamini, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Tomas Rosicky can all play in the middle, Mesut Ozil, Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla are the ones doing most of the creating. However, there is one man who I feel a bit sorry for, and that's Mikel Arteta, who was incredible last season.
