Our Def needs a major overhaul Wow I didn't know you were actually a Gunners fan, just thought you were taking the piss lol. Arsenal have had what, 4 seasons now without a trophy? It's a shame, but Wenger needs to adapt to the current day game. Sure, he can keep telling his players to pass pass pass and pass their way into the goal, but he must adapt to the different situations that arise with different opponents. Sometimes they need to get into the nitty gritty of the game rather than continue to try and play beautiful football, because it won't win them enough games. That season you guys went undefeated in the league was because you ended up grinding out a lot of 1-0 victories, and somehow in recent times Wenger seems scared to just go for one nils and grind out the win. Also, he really does need to loosen his wallet a little bit and spend good money on good players. You can't rely on youth for EVERYTHING. Arshavin was the only big money buy I can remember for quite a while now, and although the likes of Nasri, Denilson, Vela et al are looking like developing into great players, I can easily see Wenger letting them go if someone offers him some money (like Henry and Hleb when Barca came knocking).

Sol Campbell was great in the centre as well, I hate Kolo Toure lol

Yeah he will help Pique. The Henry injury hurts Barca. I think it will come down to how well Ashley Cole can contain Messi vs. how well Toure and Pique can contain Drogba and Anelka.
