Arsenal look to have essentially secured a place in the Carabao Cup final, which is definitely a good thing for Arsenal; Now they have indeed lived up to pre-match expectations, and there is no reason for Arsenal to lose the Carabao Cup title when they are significantly and generally inferior to themselves.

However, although Arsenal finished the Carabao Cup semi-final with a comfortable 3-0 win over Ipswich Town in a comfortable one-legged game, Arsenal cannot afford to be complacent if they want to get better. Because Ipswich's strength is really not good, because Arsenal itself is still a little lacking.

There have been a series of major transfers in the winter transfer market, and Arsenal cannot afford to relax at this time; Because although Arsenal is now the leader in the league, their opponents are strengthening one after another; If Arsenal are slackened at this time, it will be an absolute disaster for them.

Arsenal have finally risen to the occasion, and they have finally shown good competitiveness now; While this has to do with the general weakness of their league rivals, Arsenal can't afford to be overly proud. Arsenal will need to continue to improve, especially with the knockout stages of the Champions League just around the corner.

Arsenal seem to have to invest more in their winter transfers, especially at the back, with Arsene Wenger stretching his squad to the point of being stretched. The team's original main central defender Vermaelen has not played since the end of August last year due to injury, and now the recovery from the injury is very unsatisfactory; New signing Squeiraci did not live up to the team's expectations and strained his Achilles tendon in training and is expected to be out of action for a month. Then the next game. Arsene Wenger will have to deal with a busy schedule with Djoroux and Koscielny.

"Last week, Vermaelen's injury worsened again. This worries me a lot. He was examined again. Soon we will know the result. Arsene Wenger gave an update on Vermaelen's situation on the Arsenal website: "So we can't predict when he will return right now, and as for Squeerage, he will also be out for four weeks. It's not easy to find a suitable replacement at this stage, but we have a very busy schedule and if we have a suitable replacement of the right level of quality, then we will do it. ”

'Everyone can see that the team is doing well, so naturally we are going to work harder at this point and we are trying to stay competitive. So we haven't let up. We'll find great additions to the squad at the right time. Arsene Wenger is full of confidence, although he has been in the transfer market for many seasons in the past, but in the past two seasons, although it is not said to be a big spending, but there is no previous constraints.

Although Arsenal is still repaying the loan for the new stadium, but last season won the double, a good share and bonuses, plus the team's various sponsorships after winning the championship, Arsenal still has a good income, they can at least have some actions in the transfer market, rather than simply watching capital predators like Chelsea or Manchester City make waves in the transfer market.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Arsenal's recent trend as smooth sailing. The league and FA Cup are both triumphant, and they are on the verge of new successes in the transfer market.

Seventeen-year-old Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has only one year of League One experience, has been recognised by Premier League club Arsenal. Following in the footsteps of his brother Theo Walcoat, he joined the London club for a fee, which is reported to be initially £12 million. The young but well-known striker in England was acquired by Arsenal, and Arsene Wenger seems to be continuing his pedophile fun.

Although the team has brought in a striker again, the young talent will not play too many games in a short period of time, which is an investment in the future; As for Arsenal, they are now also able to accept the team's current forward arrangement.

Xiao Qing and Van Persie are the team's strikers, and their combination is also infinitely expected; Chamak, on the other hand, is a very good player, and he can bring some help to the team at any time in the game, and he enhances Arsenal's risk depth. As for Alex. Chamberlain, his task now is to study well.

As the saying goes, only by saying goodbye can we welcome the new, and Arsenal's originally luxurious and even bloated forward line is now more reasonable; Because Bendtner finally left Arsenal with his will, he was able to find more playing time and room to play.

With Bent leaving Aston Villa and Welbeck seriously injured, Sunderland's forward line can be said to be stretched thin and in desperate need of reinforcements, and the transfer fee earned from the sale of Bent ensures that they will not return to their pockets. Thirteen million pounds, which is undoubtedly a staggering price for a substitute centre-forward, is impossible for Arsenal not to be tempted by in the face of such an attractive price tag. So Bendtner, who was a little restless before, left Arsenal, and he also brought a very good transfer fee to Arsenal.

However, although Arsenal is making some moves in the transfer market, it seems to be a palliative solution, because Arsenal needs more reinforcements at the back, and they need to strengthen the team's defense to ensure that Arsenal can have more stability and excellent performance.

This position of defender requires experience and old town, although Wenger likes to develop young players, but at this time Arsenal still need to strengthen the back line; At a time when Arsenal's momentum is great, they need to make up for the shortcomings of the team.

Arsenal's main centre-back has been targeted, with 26-year-old air defender Mertesacker, who is 1.98m tall and has an excellent header, will make up for the Gunners' lack of aerial control at the back. Although Vermaelen is still on the injury list, the combination of Mertesacker and Vermaelen, Arsenal at least don't have to worry about their central defenders; As for Koscielny, Arsenal are now playing on multiple fronts, and with some injuries, he doesn't need to worry about his playing time at all.

With a value of eight million, Arsenal took Mertesacker; Arsenal has once again added to the position of central defender, although Arsenal's current full-back may still be a little lacking, but the position of central defender now does not seem to have much shortcoming, and now such a step-by-step improvement is also very helpful to the team. Especially with Vermaelen now injured, Mertesacker's arrival is definitely a huge help to Arsenal's squad.

As for Arsenal's stubborn disease, it can naturally be said that it is the goalkeeper position, and now Arsenal's original main goalkeeper Almuña has no chance to play at all after being injured, and even if Arsenal wants to sell him, no one is willing to take over the Spanish grassroots goalkeeper. The original No. 2 goalkeeper Fabianski was just disappointing, Arsenal originally had great expectations for him, but Fabianski's growth rate is regrettable, and his performance on the pitch is also very average.

So the current Arsenal goalkeeper position is only 21-year-old Szczesny; The veteran Almunia gradually lost the trust of Arsene Wenger, while Fabianski was also unable to play due to too many injuries, and Szczesny gradually became Arsenal's main goalkeeper. While Szczesny's future prospects are quite good, expectations from many Arsenal fans are quite high. However, the goalkeeper position is the most infallible on the pitch, and Szczesny has a lot of potential, but his immediate power may still need to be improved; In particular, the ups and downs of the young players themselves are indisputable, so Arsenal still need to prepare for their goalkeepers.

Belgian goalkeeper Thibaud. Courtois became Arsene Wenger's choice, and the transfer fee even reached 9 million!

It's just that the big surprise is this Thibault. Courtois was actually a young player in 1992, and even compared to the twenty-one-year-old Szczesny, Thibaught was even younger. Courtois is now only nineteen years old!

Courtois is only 19 years old, but he has already helped Genk almost win the Belgian title and has already been selected for the senior national team. Although the 1.99m Courtois is a big guy, he is agile and he likes to attack, which requires a lot of courage and is lacking in some goalkeepers these days.

Arsene Wenger's pedophilia has been exposed once again, and although Courtois has a lot of potential, he really needs a more consistent veteran goalkeeper right now; Perhaps this is also Wenger's helplessness, because those excellent goalkeepers who have been famous for a long time are the focus of various clubs, and no one wants to lose excellent goalkeepers, especially now some excellent goalkeepers are almost all playing for big clubs.

So now Arsenal is thinking about young goalkeepers, and Arsenal after Seaman no longer has a reliable goalkeeper; Now the two young potential goalkeepers of the post-90s generation will definitely be very good news for Arsenal once they have grown up, as long as one of them can meet the team's expectations, then Arsenal will not need to tremble in the goalkeeper position every time for at least the next ten years.

Xiao Qing is very satisfied with the team's actions in the transfer market, Arsenal's investment in the winter transfer market has reached 30 million, which is definitely a very huge investment; Of course, what makes Xiao Qing even happier is the ambition that the team is showing now, they are not satisfied with the status quo at all, and now Arsenal is still improving, they can get better!
