Stop the Rot!

Arsenal have crashed to a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City following a tumultuous week which saw Gallas sacked as Arsenal captain.

The team's performance today was woeful and the point was hammered home once again that we are badly lacking leadership skills on the pitch.

Several signings are needed and no amount of talking-up by Mr Wenger of our current group of players can change that fact.

Watching today's game has compelled me to return to Goonertimes.com to make a suggestion about two potential short-term signings who I honestly believe would be a tremendous influence on the undoubtedly talented but inconsistent youngsters at Arsenal.

Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry. Two former captains returning to the club they both love.




Ok - I know you're laughing; but think about it - they'd be dirt cheap and how many times have they said they wanted to return? What a morale boost it would be for the club! Their egos would love the idea of returning to rescue the club from potential UEFA Cup standard mediocrity. Who knows - it could even be a positive influence on a reprimanded Gallas!

I know Wenger's hardly going to listen... but I can dream can't I? Or maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic after an utterly crap week!!!
