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.

M’Vila is an amazing player and Arsenal could certainly put him to use. But… Who’s he gonna replace!? Wilshere, Arteta or Cazorla!? Their our starting 3 central midfielders, we cant have any of them on the bench. I’d love to see him here but we do not need new central midfielders.
If he were to come then unfortunately Arteta would have to be benched. Fact is Mikel isn’t a holding midfielder, M’Vila is, and that’s where our problem lie
True…. Plus arteta is getting on abit, he can act as a great sub and a good stand in player because with our injury record he will be needed.
We don’t have to bench anyone. Carzola can move to the flanks, the Wilshere will play in th AM, with Arteta as the box to box mid. Has anyone noted the way wilshere is creating chances?
Arsenal nid mvila wit pation so wenger should 4gt abwt his behavior nd go 4 him,i tink he iz the chosen one.4 the ROLE.
Go back to school you illiterate fool!
Wenger should stop drinking french wine, and buy players, stop linking us with every player and lets cocentrate on the matches ahead.
M’Villa will certainly have a role to play in Arsenal, who will replace Wishere, Carzola or Arteta if they are injured or out of form? Is it Ramsey? The players need to be rotated at times! We need him.
And Barc are not Selling D. Vila, while Wenger said he will not sign M’villa. Then Get James Macarthy, and ? Pls help us to cocentrate on the game. Or give the reserve players more playin time.
Arsen wenger is just poorly us(supporters)he is using his sweet tongue to convience us…right now gunnerz we dont know where our faith lie-wenger need to be sack. he is the phenomenum in arsenal
Guyz am from uganda i can’t talk to that stpd wenger but help that guy to sign m’villa collect some money for him and he top up, how do you see.
if he did come you change the crap 451 formation to 442 or 41212 as he would cover for the full back going forward. At the moment no one covers for them and too many times ox sagna or podolski gibbs are in each others way and theres no one in the box when the ball eventually arrives
There’s a reason M’Vile went from a 20M man to 8M. He’s clearly overrated and worse his attitude is not something anyone wants to deal with – not Rennes, not France. He’s not the DM we want – he’s a reactive DM that only breaks up play when the opponent is coming at him. We need a proactive DM that will stop the opposition before it even begins building an attack. A Wanyama or a Capoue – M’Vila is more of a Makalele and that role has evolved alot since Claude was playing.
I never see a type of coach lk dis b4 stupid nd sluggish
