Five burning issues faced by Arsenal

2) Too little, too late

Former Arsenal player, Robin van Persie

Over the last few years, Arsenal have lost several well-established stars, notably Emmanuel Adebayor, Kolo Toure, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri, Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie. How can one except the solitary signing of Mesut Ozil to fill the void left by so many world-class players? When Chelsea embarked on their reign of trophies under the Roman Abramovich era, it was achieved with the help of multiple world-class signings. The same goes with Manchester City. Their F.A. Cup and Premier League triumphs came with several quality additions over the years such as David Silva, Yaya Toure, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero, Samir Nasri, Pablo Zabaleta and Vincent Kompany. To expect a single world-class signing to completely turn the fortunes of the North London outfit isn’t wise.
