4 reasons Unai Emery must keep the latest formation intact

#4 Better purchases

Denis Suarez may be playing for Arsenal soon

There is the small matter of the winter transfer window that for Arsenal should be a lifesaver. So far Arsenal looks to be unable to finalize any deals, which a matter of concern. Arsenal entered the winter transfer window with its defense in shambles as it seemed every player was injured then suddenly there were recoveries.

However, that should serve as a lesson that the team is not very far from a crisis and should bring in reinforcements. already Bellerin is back to the treatment table, and this time he will last the entire remainder of the season out, after suffering an injury in the Chelsea game.

Settling on a primary formation means Emery can now have planned purchases to support areas within the line-up in need of support. It means he can buy better knowing where the players he is bringing will be playing and also the negotiating team will have clear position to offer prospective recruits. For instance, should he end up losing both Ramsey and Ozil, it would mean an attacking midfielder and a central midfielder will be high in priority. It seems the pursuit of Denis Suarez was in planning for this scenario. Arsenal needs to get another player in this department before the window closes shut.
