Adebayorcould be more effective if he left the wide play and looked to his best
attributes - size, pace, and aerial ability. I seriously thought when
he scored that spate of headded goals he was finally learning where his
strengths lie.
But you have to feel sorry for the big man, theservice from out wide has been poor for two seasons (since thecole-pires-henry partnership was broken up). I can see what Ade has in
his mind - but really someone else should be running down the wide channels and Ade should be charging into the box (a tall man with, pace and a great jump is a monumental threat).
10-15m would havebrought us 1 winger, 1 defender and that would have been enough to save
our season. Why did we buy Diaby, Denilson and Diarra if we had Flamini and Fabregas (and Gilberto) but only Hleb and Rosicky wide? I think we missed out on transfers - this will come out in the next few years when wenger says I bid for so-and-so but I wouldn't pay more than a couple of million, so the opportunity passed....(sound familiar?). Personally, I think Ferguson would never have left himself in such a position. The only way Arsenal would have won the title this year would have been to get out of all other competitions in the first rounds leaving the squad to focus on the league.
It is a real shame as now - we are looking at 30-40m to get the top level players in the summer - if we are going to really push for the title... frankly, I can't see that happening. If we want Ben Arfa - we will have to pay the going rate.
