Chapter 86: Winter Transfers

Arsenal need centre-backs, and while Galla and Vermaelen are good, they also need quality replacements and Arsenal need to strengthen their bench depth. Arsenal need a midfielder, because their own midfield defensive ability is not excellent, plus the main defender Song participates in the Africa Cup of Nations, so Arsenal in this position is even more stretched. Arsenal also need strikers, although Arsenal once had the most luxurious striker, but now Van Persie is out for the season, and Bendtner has been battling injuries this season, so they need to find a partner or a replacement for Xiao Qing.

Arsenal president Hill Wood only days ago claimed that Barca's actions to seduce the youngster were disgusting and that Arsenal were, are and will not consider selling the captain to Barca. However, the Spanish media can't do so much, because just yesterday, "Marca" claimed in no uncertain terms that Xiaofa has now told the Arsenal hierarchy that in order to get a main position in the Spanish national team, he has decided to leave Arsenal this summer anyway and move to La Liga, and the Arsenal hierarchy is likely to be forced to respect the player's own will and mark a price of 45 million euros for him.

It can be said that it is another soap opera, but now it seems that Fabregas's return to Barcelona is getting closer and closer to reality, which is also Arsenal fans are trying to accept, although they also understand the importance of Xiaofa to Arsenal, but unfortunately the will of the players themselves has a decisive factor, Xiaofa has always had great expectations for returning to Barcelona.

The team's top card was revealed to have left the team this summer, how can this kind of news Arsenal people ignore it, but it's very interesting. Arsene Wenger really didn't pay too much attention. What the professor considers: How can Arsenal continue to maintain their current attacking firepower in the second half of the season? Now Arsenal has the strongest firepower in the Premier League, in which Xiaofa's midfield organization and scheduling has a great credit, although Xiao Qing gradually has the ability to become Arsenal's top name, but it seems imperative to find a very haode partner for Xiao Qing.

But fortunately, the current Gunners fans do not need to be overly nervous, because the current prospects of Arsenal in the league are very good, even if Xiaofa wants to return to Barcelona, he will not go back at this time, at least until the end of the season.

Arsenal's winter transfer campaign is slowly unfolding. Arsenal, who have temporarily stabilized Cesc Fabregas, are also discussing contract extensions and salary increases. Premier League giants Arsenal FC announced on their official website that they have officially renewed the contract of Czech midfielder Thomas Rosicky. The two sides signed a long-term contract, but the Gunners' official website did not disclose the details of the contract. The Czech is also the 13th player to sign a long-term contract with the Gunners, following the likes of Vella, Eduardo, Alexander Song, Bendtner, Denilson, Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott and Diaby.

Speaking to the official website after Rosicky successfully renewed his contract with Arsenal, he expressed his gratitude to the club for believing in him and hoped to help the club win the title this season. The Czech has not contributed much to the Gunners since joining the squad and has been plagued by injuries for the past two years, with an eighteen months of non-play. Prior to this, many fans and media believed that Arsenal would not renew Rosicky's contract because it was too "glassy". After returning this season, the Czech missed a couple of games due to injury problems. But Arsenal thinks. Rosicky is a quality player and his experience will be a great asset to the young Gunners and his contract extension is the result of careful consideration.

This seems to be a very good signal that Arsenal are known not to sign long-term contracts with players over the age of 30; But now giving the glass man Rosicky a long-term contract, which also means that Arsenal is very determined on the road to the league title, and they are very confident in the future of the team, so at this time they began to work hard to keep some older veterans, which is also Arsenal's efforts to compete for the title.

Arsene Wenger signs former Gunners veteran Campbell and yes, something like that happened! The former Gunners defender has become a free agent since Campbell's split with Noorshire County, and it won't cost any team to sign him. Speaking of Campbell, fans who are familiar with Arsenal or the Premier League know that the player, whom Tottenham Hotspur calls Judas, has left many classics in the five years he has been at Highbury Stadium.

Campbell is 35 years old this year, and as a free agent, he is not without the team's contact with him, but he wants to get more opportunities and play in a high-level team, and Campbell is training with the Arsenal squad at the London Kearney training base to maintain his fitness. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has mentioned Campbell in an interview with the media and said that he is now fit, revealing that Campbell has shown him determination and desire to play. Campbell has turned down Hull City's offer in order to join Arsenal, showing enough sincerity to Wenger.

Arsene Galla and Vermaelen are the main players in Arsene Wenger's current squad, but he is concerned that the depth of the bench at centre-back is weak, and although Senderos is still in the squad, it has proved to be overwhelmed, so Wenger can only hope to find a suitable replacement to fill this gap in the winter transfer. Of course, Arsenal signed Campbell as a free agent, but the contract will not be too long, and the media estimates that it will be at the end of the season at most, to put it bluntly, it is a firefighter who wants to win the league championship.

Chinese New Year's Eve English centre-back Saul Campbell has signed a six-month contract with Arsenal with shirt number 31. It should be pointed out that with the completion of this signing, Wenger has also broken the rule that he has never re-signed a former Arsenal player in more than 13 years at the helm of Arsenal.

It's safe to say that Saul Campbell's arrival will certainly bring a lot of help to Arsenal. Saul Campbell has more than 460 Premier League appearances and has won five major honours (two Premier League titles, three FA Cups) during his last spell at Arsenal.

Like Chelsea, who are in a hurry at the front, Arsenal are also looking for guns. Van Persie is basically reimbursed this season. Bendtner still needs to get back into shape. Eduardo is in mediocre form. Many times Arsene Wenger can only pin his hopes on Arshavin, but the Czar does not always want rain or wind because he is not a striker after all.

Spend a little money to do big things, and now Arsenal needs to find a partner for Xiao Qing; In fact, with a top player like Xiao Qing, plus Van Persie who is recovering from injury, Arsenal does not need to spend too much money to buy a striker.

Arsenal's move to re-sign meritorious defender Campbell heralds the complete abandonment of Swiss centre-back Senderos by Arsene Wenger. Prior to Campbell's arrival, Senderos was ranked behind Galla, Vermaelen and Sylvester. Now he is a substitute among the substitutes.

At the start of his move to Arsenal, Senderos was seen as the club's hope for the future, but he has played just over 60 Premier League games for the Gunners in six years. Things have been even worse this season, with Sendros only making appearances in the Carabao Cup, much to the dismay of the Swiss international.

The Swiss team reached the Shijie Cup in South Africa, but due to the lack of opportunities to play, Sendros has lost his main position, and if he wants to regain his starting role in the national team, a move is his only option, in an interview with The Sun. Sendro admitted: "I'm leaving Arsenal and I need to play before the Shijie Cup. The reserves are not my home, I want to play! ”

On the one hand, Arsenal have often suffered from a lack of players this season, and on the other hand, newcomers have been loaned by the club because it is difficult to play in the main team at Arsenal, and this is the reality of the Gunners. Homegrown midfielder 20-year-old Mark Randle has been loaned to League One side Milton Keynes Dons and will remain with the club until the end of the season; Together with the 22-year-old defender Gilbert, who was recently loaned to Peterborough in the Championship, Arsenal have seen two youngsters leave in just a few days.

Campbell's ambition contrasts sharply with Senderos's decision to go, who has repeatedly stated that he wants to leave the Gunners for another career, while a number of teams including Everton, Celtic and Wolfsburg have joined the race for Swiss centre-back. Last summer, Everton were tempted to sign Senderos on loan, but Arsene Wenger decided to keep the Swiss in the squad due to the weakness of Arsenal's defence at the time. Campbell's injury gave Sendros a chance to grow, but with Campbell set to return to the Emirates Stadium in the winter, Sendros has once again faded out of the Gunners' squad.

Now, the Swede Senderos has left Arsenal and has been loaned to the Toffees Everton, making him the third player to leave the club in this winter transfer market.

Following Senderos' departure, Arsenal's official website officially announced that the 18-year-old England newcomer Wilshere has been loaned to Bolton Wanderers until the end of the season. Arsene Wenger had already hinted at a desire to send Wilshere out on loan, as the latter has played just seven games for the Gunners this season and has made just one Premier League appearance. At Bolton, Wilshere will be able to get more playing opportunities and valuable practical experience, which will be beneficial for his future development. For Arsenal, who are challenging for the title, they now have no time to develop new talents.

Although according to the convention, the turnover of winter transfers is much smaller than that of summer, but this winter's Premier League transfer window is too cold, the big clubs are basically not moving, and some other small and medium-sized teams are not small, but after all, the financial resources are limited and there is no way to send big money.

There has been no sensational transfer for a long time, and fans and the media are also predicting whether the winter transfer market will be cold to the end this time; For Arsenal, who have grasped the opportunity to compete for the league title, their small scary money in the transfer market is also a bit confusing, Arsenal is really very potential to win the championship now, but they are still almost immobile at this time, they don't seem to want to fill the shortcomings at all, which also makes many people think that Arsenal is self-destructing.

Xiao Qing is now waiting for the team's move in the winter transfer market and waiting for the finalization of his new contract; A salary increase is a sure thing, but now it's a matter of the size of the new contract. No one will be afraid of having a lot of money, and Xiao Qing also needs to use a salary that meets his own value to reposition himself in front of the media and fans, so this time he is looking forward to Alan Tea to bring him good news, and he is looking forward to the finalization of the new contract as soon as possible, because the league game is about to start!
