Am sure about arsenal but not about Walcott

Arsenal will finish in the top 4 this season.

This could be a great season for Arsenal. We have a strong first team defence but after that it looks a bit thin. Going back to why Wenger picks Philippe Senderos ahead of Johan Djourou, you may not have noticed that Senderos can pick a pass out maybe 6/7 times out of ten. Wenger likes his players with passing abilities and he may feel Senderos has those abilities.

I think Philippe Mexes would be a good signing but if you are going to spend £10 million on a player surely that player would be in the first team line-up, but who will he replace?

This is where things get bright for Arsenal. We have a high quantity of centre midfielders who have great quality: Cesc Fabregas, Denilson, Gilberto Silva, Abou Diaby and Mathieu Flamini

Now people say we need to buy a winger. When was the last time Wenger bought a winger? I can only recall Marc Overmars and that was almost 10 years ago. We have done perfectly fine without wingers in my opinion.

However saying that, all of our so-called left-side problems would be solved with the signing of Robinho - but that WILL NOT happen. Why? Robinho’s too expensive and Wenger will not spend that amount of money.

Up-front I am completely satisfied with our options. Robin van Persie will have an unbelievable season IF he keeps his head. Eduardo is already a better signing than the so-called "Beast". From what I have seen he is prepared to fight for the cause and isn't going to throw himself onto the ground if he gets out-muscled. He will fight tooth and nail to get the ball back. That quality is what is truly needed at Arsenal at the moment. Also people saying that he will struggle to get goals is absolute foolishness. If you’re a natural born finisher you will finish anywhere and with the chances Arsenal create, he will have a field-day.

Emmanuel Adebayor will be his workman self again next season and Nicklas Bendtner will be an unknown to teams up and down the country.

However I am still not convinced about young Theo Walcott. What is he? A right-winger or striker? He will have to prove himself this season.

Arsenal will be a fine wine for the next 6/7 seasons. Getting better as we grow older.
