Just over a week into the January transfer window and we have seen two Gunners head out on loan but no new arrivals at The Emirates yet.
We have been linked with just about everyone and it seems we are set to strengthen every position in the side if reports are to be believed.
Many of the Arsenal faithful have called on Arsene Wenger to sign a striker, while some believe the back four still needs a little tweaking. Personally, I would just be happy to see a midfield enforcer come in this January. That’s it.
If we can reinforce some other areas of the squad this month then great. However, a dominant, powerful holding midfielder is a MUST, even if it means splashing out. We need someone in the side to press the ball and get stuck in, like Patrick Vieira used to do many years ago.
But who should Arsene Wenger look to bring in who fits the bill you ask? Yann M’Vila.
I know the Rennes midfielder has temperamental issues but he is exactly what the side needs – someone with passion and a bit nuts. Plus, the 22-year-old’s current contract at Rennes expires at the end of the season, meaning we could acquire him for as little as £7 million. A bargain.
The France international would certainly suit Arsenal’s style of play, as he possesses great energy, passing ability and is a powerful figure who could take to the Premier League like a duck to water.
He is still very young and his attitude at present may not be in the right state, but under the potential guidance of Wenger I believe he could become a great player for Arsenal if they were to reignite their interest in him once again.

I have not had enough time watching M’villa but from what I have heard, Arsenal needs this guy to help Arteta to protect the promising defence.
Some people give some excuses of manners but there worst characters than him who have clicked with other managers. The guy is young and he can learn or he has learnt from his mistakes why not take him to do his business on the pitch? RVP, Nasri, Adbayo etc have their own history but they did their job before leaving.
If Arsene does not reinforce the team in this January transfer window, that will effectively terminate th very faint goodwill he still enjoys from few of us. He should prove critics wrong this time around that he is not stingy, heady and very stubborn. All the money that Arsenal makes comes from us the faithfuls. We hold the aces in the long run and at the appropriate time, we shall use the big stick on his head.
This is the kind of player Arsenal need right now, but i don’t know why they take so long to sign a player in the form of M’vila, we need him now otherwise Arsenal may finish the season on 6th or 7th position. GUNNERZ 4 LIFE.
Pls sign m’villa for arsenal I beg u, because this guy is very good for arsenal
let wenger carry his own cross. if he’s force to buy any player he will make sure such player is play out of position in order for the fans to demonize the player. so pls give wenger the chance to make his personal chose.
I have never watch yann m’villa play but is better for wenger to bring him to the emirate because he is a strong midfielder.
Mr. Wenger is our faithful but very famous of not buyer a player you fans say please sign him and he finally regrets.
Imagine how many times he was told to sign David villa before he joined Barcelona and he himself has written come and get me plea.
What about Mata, Dzeko, Hazard, Ribery, Huntlear, Lugas biglia, Tores, M.villa, Kaka, Ba, the list could be endless.
and those players performed and won trophies in the past couple years.
With Arsenal proving to be a selling club, every youngester will soon follow the foot steps of Robin Van persie, Nasri, “Adebayour, Clitchy and beloved Fabrigas.
If not Arsene and Arsenal react sooner than later.
