The transfer XI Arsenal could’ve had this January

Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are certainly more upbeat than they were this time last month.

A month ago the Gunners had just suffered an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to Southampton at St Mary’s on New Year’s Day, a result which was compounded by the fact a supporter ran onto the touchline to berate Arsene Wenger.

Not only that but Wojciech Szczesny endured a torrid day between the sticks where both he and his Gunners defenders were at fault for the sloppy goals they conceded and ever since, David Ospina has been favoured in Premier League fixtures.

However since that fateful day on the south coast, Arsenal and Wenger have turned things around, winning each and every one of their games since.

Arsene Wenger even surprised us by signing a central defender in the January transfer window and whilst they may still be an established defensive midfielder short of where the supporters would like them to be, the feeling is that the Gunners are moving in the right direction – even without the transfer XI they might have had.
