Champagne Charlie says Arsenal need 2 more additions to be title challengers
01:01 PM 23 June, 2009
"Champagne" Charlie Nicholas reckons Arsenal need to add a striker and a midfielder to their ranks to become genuine title challengers next season.

Nicholas, who was at Arsenal between 1983 and 1987 told Sky Sports News: "I think Arsene Wenger will add two or three players to the squad.

"I know the Belgian defender [Thomas Vermaelen] has already come in. Not the tallest, not the most physical athlete we were all anticipating."

He added: "I'm not looking for a Vidic-type all the time, it doesn't have to be the most aggressive defender in the world. A young Sami Hyypia, that type of player is Arsenal type-standard.

"I'm pretty sure there will be a striker and possibly a midfield player to come yet.

"I certainly hope so, because if they do that I don't think they'll be far away."

Wenger has got to pay whatever the asking price for Melo! If anyone has been watching the cofederations cup they will see what a good player he is and exactly what Arsenal need. BOSH!

I just wish Yaya Toure comes in plus an aggressive striker like Pobrenyak.Then arsenal will count on my support. We are not far from Trophies. There is depth, I can see from the reserve.

Guys, 'tich' has made a few valid points, if we are to progress and challenge the others, we need 11 men to do it, not kids. We need more experience. arsenal4ever - I dont think you really are a arsenal fan ?
