Ever since the transfer window re-opened, Arsenal fans have been waiting to see which defender Arsene Wenger will purchase . Experts, journalists, and fans alike all believe that a defender should be Wenger’s number one priority. The Frenchmen, however, maintains that the defense is not the problem.
"I don't think we are weak defensively, but we are an offensive team. Sometimes that exposes our defenders a bit more than other teams," said the Gunners boss
I mean that could be the reason why the back four is so bad, or it could be the amount of average centre halves down at the Emirates these day's . Names like Squillaci, Djourou, and Koscielny will not win you championships. I do like ThomasVermaelen but he needs a partner to shore up that leaky defense, especially from set pieces. Wenger did put a dismal £10 million bid in for Everton centre back, Phil Jagielka, maybe after seeing this bit of defending from youngster Carl Jenkinson, he might actually put a real offer in
for the England international. The clip is from Arsenal’s friendly against German side F.C. Cologne.
All joking aside, I am sure Jenkinson is a very talented player and hate to see youngsters make mistakes on the big stage. I hope we see more of the young gunner this season and pushes Sagna for that right back spot.
