The Sporting calendar

After the first games of the new Premiership season, here’s a quick review of how the season may pan out.
Arsenal
Defensive weaknesses have been well highlighted for over a season now, but in Djourou, they have one of the best defenders in the league. Never seems to be flustered, makes timely interceptions and can score too. The problem is, who to play alongside him?
It’s no doubt a problem which will continue to get noticed and undermine the team should it continue. Does Wenger step up his chase for Cahill at Bolton?
Personally, I don’t think he should. At £16 Million he’s way too pricey. Jagielka would be a cheaper and a better buy, sold as a rock, he also has a good shot on him, although he doesn’t score many.
As for the rest of the team, Van Persie looked lively as always, but with injuries, I would play Arshavin just behind him as a second striker, rather than a winger. His four goal haul against Liverpool showed what a high class finisher he can be, as a winger I think he’s wasted. Put him in central midfield and let him come from deep, either with the ball or arriving late in the box, he’d be almost impossible to mark.
Finishing position for the season: 4th but to win one of the cups this time around.
