da cassino: Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has urged his manager Arsene Wenger to spend money on bringing new faces to the Emirates this summer, and admits that the club needs additional strength in depth to challenge for honours in 2011/12.
da lvbet: The transfer window at the North London side has revolved around players potentially leaving north London, with Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri rumoured to be following Gael Clichy out the door.
Arsenal missed out on Argentinean midfielder Ricky Alvarez, who chose to join Inter from Velez Sarsfield instead of a move to England, whilst deals for Gervinho and Christopher Samba have not been completed.
“We play great football but we might need a bigger squad. We also need to keep hold of our best players,” the England international told Sky Sports.
“The boss has said that he is going to spend as well and add to the team. That will be crucial. I will be very keen to see who comes and goes. As a team last season it was disappointing. We need to move that step closer and maybe should have done a lot better in the last stretch,” he continued.
The 22-year-old is also expecting a tighter race for the title, with the emergence of some big-spending challengers.
“There are a lot of teams like Manchester City and Liverpool coming into the frame now. It is not going to be an easy Premier League. We need to concentrate on the future and hopefully it is going to be bright for us next season,” the former Southampton attacker concluded.
