Into the Looking Glass: transfer needs through Arsene’s eyes.

Fans are jonesing for a couple of purchases by Arsene this January.  We want a striker/forward, DM, CB and GK.  We view a signing in the short-term, the juice to win a title this year.  But Arsene has to look a bit above and beyond.  After all, signing a player now may work for three months, but create contract and wage bill headaches in the future.  This means anticipating future purchases requires a view in the looking glass, aka, how does Arsene view our needs? 

Three reasons Arsene might surprise us this January.

As much as I try to live my life day to day, I can’t help but get excited about this January.  Just 72 hours from the January transfer market and even an Arsenal fan has to get excited.  Everything is coming together for the perfect storm: a crazy exciting January.  Even Arsene seems to have begun teasing the fans and the media.  But seriously, three factors are shaping up to make this January really interesting.
