It’s not just the keeper position that we should address; the backline could do with some sprucing-up. It’s funny to talk in these terms when we have the 4th-lowest goals allowed in the league. As I said in my previous post about Szczęsny, we need some presence back there, someone who can intimidate the opposition. Of our defenders, only Sagna seems to possess any kind of visible fire or steel in his play. Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Monreal, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Miquel, they all seem like good players, but none of them seem able to summon the kind of intensity or strength that other defenders can. None of them seem able to intimidate opponents as Vidić, Terry,or Puyol might (whether this intimidating quality stems from skill or personal repulsiveness is another question. Mr. Terry, I’m looking at you, much as it pains me to do so). With that in mind, would someone like Athletic Bilbao’s Fernando Amorebieta fill the bill? He seems a little too pretty. We’ve previously been linked with Etienne Capoue, another defender (and midfielder) who seems steely and flinty enough to give opposing forwards pause as they think about trying to get inside the 18. 
Most of the headlines that have come out on Arsenals’ finances have been critical, pointing to past sales and Wenger’s apparent refusal to splurge. Instead, I prefer to look at it as an early Christmas present, and there’s nothing wrong with a little window-shopping, is there?
