Arsenal are fourth
It's good that Arsenal are recovering, but it seems to me to have involved a lot of luck (such as pentalties!) and other teams being inconsistent. Pundits will no doubt claim it was just a 'blip', but the failings of other teams, due to lower quality than before, should not cover up how poor Arsenal are in season and how badly they need reinforcements. Unfortunately, I am worried that this 'recovery' will have a negative impact. I am not someone who thinks that Arsenal's lack of spending is down to restrictions placed upon him by the Arsenal board. Imho, it is Wenger himself that objects to spending money. The worry I have is therefore that Wenger will use this 'recovery' as an excuse not to spend any money in January. Then we willl face a massive struggle to finish in the Europa league places, let alone the top 4.
