Would a Tony Adams really solve Wenger’s prolems?

WengerDavor Suker believes Arsene Wenger must sign a Tony Adams type defender to get the club back challenging for titles.

The ex-Croatia international, who spent just one season at Arsenal, has no doubt that the under-fire boss will once again win over the Emirates faithful and overcome his critics, but says the side must toughen up in defence in order to do so:

‘In Arsene we trust – but they need a Tony Adams or Martin Keown, that’s for sure. It was kids against Chelsea.’

Suker went on to say:

‘He is a money maker for the club, but if you are buying and selling lots, it’s not excellent for performances.

‘Arsene needs more time. His new signings will make it big. I remember a big spirit with Arsene Wenger and a big spirit with Arsenal Football Club and I wish them all the best for this year.

‘But I do hope Arsenal can buy more physical players.

‘They need those kind of powerful players again. Work, work, hard work. That is what you need.’

A lot of us will point the finger of blame at Wenger for not signing another centre-back and although our defence isn’t the greatest, I truly believe our midfield needs to be more resolute and needs to be seriously looked at.

We lack a proper hardman in the middle of the park and because of this the defence is put under a lot of pressure. I’m not saying we don’t need to buy another centre-back, someone in the mould of Adams or Keown, but the midfield is regarded as the engine room of any side and if this isn’t strong and organized then the whole system collapses.

When the January transfer window opens, Wenger must seriously consider this as well as signing a new centre-back. Bringing in a new defender will not mean anything unless the problem in front of the back four is resolved.

    Yes please. Tony. Martin or Sol. Need to get defense sorted before buying more strikers. Flamini Arteta out replaced by young mobile CDM. Above all Mertesacker must be replaced immediately. He cannot run, jump or manouvre his body quickly enough to make himself of any use. Consequently the rest of the defense to cover for his weakness and so compromise their own game. The top teams always exploit this, hence bad results

    Hmmmm coming from a player that were more lazy then Deckchair Denilson.We need another Big Tone it is not rocket science but they dont come of the trees,Adams would be the first 60 mil defender in the world not one of the current defenders at our club is half the class of big Tone.

    Get the defenders from West Ham. Fire wenger. Problem solved. We need a stricker with pace and power.

    I agree.

    Tomy Adams would help, becaue we have two problems. No real leaders on the pitch, and no support from midfield for defence. The letter being the biggest issue.

    Matic is the player from an other English club I think we would benefit from most.

    Being the ultimate AKB here, is there a chance Arsene knows how important the DM role is and as a result has been reluctant to settle, we are not so rich that we can buy a DM and if it doesn’t work, just buy another show the original sees out his contract.

    I hope we get the right player soon. Personally I would take any proper DM. But that’s why I’m in marketing and not football, I guess.

    Come on the gunners
