If Arsenal make one signing in this transfer window…. (Video)
…it would be a modern day miracle, I know.
With the news that Arsenal left back Kieran Gibbs will be out for up to three weeks following a thigh strain he suffered in last night’s game against Liverpool, Gunners around the world took in a collective breath as this news means one thing: Andre Santos will be starting games.
Now, even Wenger must know that Santos is a weak link and a player so short on confidence that he might be close to the point of no return (where he would join Chamakh, Park and Squillaci).
If opposing teams know that Santos will be starting at left back then Arsenal will be targeted in that area of the pitch mercilessly.
As it is transfer deadline day, Wenger has a chance to bring in cover for the left back position and solidify one of the shakiest back fours in the Premier League.
The ideal candidate: Leighton Baines.
Arguably, the finest left back in the league and his match winning brace against West Brom last night highlighted why he will soon be England’s number one choice at that position.
The odds of Wenger signing anybody for 11pm tonight are extremely short but if he were to make one then he should be picking up the phone and dialing David Moyes’ number.
