Its Official folks. Arsenal are in a state of mini-crisis. 3 defeats in a row, the last two being 3-0 hammerings courtesy the Blues & the Sky-Blues. Injuries to Van Persie, Bendtner, Walcott & indifferent form of both Eduardo and Vela, has meant Arsenal are playing all their games with practically no strike ammo. Its about time Wenger dug deep in his pockets and bought some real firepower up front to ensure chances of finally winning something remains a reality.
11Gunners looks into the options he has:1. Chamakh
Wenger's interest in this guy is no secret. 'Will he, Won't he?' was the mantra all summer. He didn't back then. But since Chamakh is running out of contract with Bordeaux very soon, he would available for a cut-price of just £6million, something which indicates him making a switch to N5 a real possibility. Also, he is of Arsenal's mould and is known to spray the ball around to his team-mates. Another aspect which would ease his transition into the first team.
2.Balotelli
The £18million striker from Inter has been left lurching on the bench by the 'Special One' all season. He has brute physical strength and is rated highly by many a club. Chelsea in particular have been courting him for sometime now. His addition could greatly bolster Arsenal's often soft attack.
3. Gignac
Toulouse & French striker Andre-Pierre Gignac sports a price tag of£12 million. With rumour doing rounds that likes of Chamakh & Balotelli won't be available after all, his name has sprang up with some ante. Wenger has been highly impressed with him and him being French might just do the trick.
4. Dzeko
The 6'' 3' goal-machine from Germany is well known to all and sundry. He netted no less than 49 goals last term( yes 49!) and has already found the back 13 times this term. Some numbers that. Although he recently signed a new contract with Wolfsburg, his usurping that depends mainly on whether his present team is able to sail through to the next round in UCL or not. Lets hope they don't and he becomes a Gunner soon!
5. Zezinho
The 'Wonderkid' from Juventude, has apparently been snapped by the youth-hungry recruits at N5. It is rumoured Wenger has agreed to pay £1.6 million to acquire his services. Hope he has more 'Wonder' than 'Kid' (read: youth) in him!
