Cahill won't fix a cack defense, look at how crap Kos looked last year, how HUGELY improved he looked alongside Verm, and how crap he looked alongside Djourou. One player can't fix a defense, the system is wrong, the training is wrong, the positioning/covering, everything is wrong in there.
Arshavin hasn't been cack for a while, he's been cack for two games, he was probably top 3-4 players in preseason and last year he was also good, the team is simply playing so horribly offensively he can't work with it. He's a little guy, he's not Kevin Davies, he can't battle through a team on his own, nor hold it up well, he needs fast paced attacking football to run into space and make chances, when our football is slow and no one moves, he's easily easily contained.
Also yes, our board for over a decade now has said "wenger has X amount to spend" every year and Wenger won't, again the issue is Wenger actually thinks Song is brilliant, and Djourou, and, etc, etc, etc. If you had ROnaldo, you wouldn't buy a replacement, when someone thinks Song is the best DM in the world, you don't replace him, the problem is Wenger has lost ALL ability to judge a players ability, which was by FAR his best quality in his early Arsenal years.
Pretty much, but you're COMPLETELY wrong about Wilshire, I'll say again for the seats at the back, HE PLAYED AS A DM LAST SEASON. Did Makelele look dangerous, does De Jong, does Busquets, does Mascherano.
Realise where he played and that he is disciplined and stayed back 98% of the time which is why he was so good. Song is epically rubbish at DM< because he runs off all over the place, zero discipline, rubbish DM, pretty simple. When Wilshire plays further forwards, which is his natural role, he's a very dangerous player.
Ramsey looks a shadow of the player pre-injury though, before injury he was closer to Fabregas/Wilshire, get the ball, turn into space, pass inteligently, since he got back from loan he's been slow on the ball, passing badly, turning INTO trouble and losing it constantly in stupid places.
As for Young, yes, half(probably more) of the Utd AND Liverpool fans were saying Young really wasn't that good and 20mil would be a waste, he wouldn't start..... wouldn't start ahead of Valencia and was no where near as good as Nani...... they were very very very wrong.
He is there, he just wasn't playing an attacking role last season, he looked more dangerous for England as he plays a more attacking role, more of a CM than AM/DM and in preseason he looked VERY dangerous as he did at Bolton and anytime before that loan.
