Agreed that Wenger didn't deserve some of the harshest criticism he got when things were at their worst several weeks ago. And had Ramsey and Walcott stayed healthy, I have no doubt the team could easily have still been in the hunt for the title, if not already secured it. However, Wenger does deserve quite a bit of blame for the title challenge getting derailed. Yes, injuries to the aforementioned duo and others hurt greatly and it would have been difficult to add quality players in January. But that's what makes the the lack of urgency last summer all the more glaring. Ozil was a great coup but the team needed more than him to compete with the depth of City and Chelsea. An imposing, athletic holding mid-fielder has long been a need yet no one was brought in. Arteta can't hack it against top competition and Flamini was a solid signing but is one-dimensional. That Giroud played so many games this year and Sanogo and Bendtner were the only guys to spell him is a joke. Yes, Wenger went after Suarez and Higuain but there were other potential additions. To top it all off, he signed an injured Kim Kallstrom. I'll be very happy if the team can end the trophy drought next week. The early transfer talk looks promising, especially the Loic Remy links but Wenger has to attack the window this summer. Assuming Sagna, Vermaelen, Podolski and Bendtner leave, Wenger would need a another CB, RB, left winger and two strikers. Pinning hopes on a small squad hasn't worked for 9 years. No matter when Arsene leaves, he's got to adapt.
