Is Gary Cahill Actually Better Than Koscielny?

After watching the Newcastle game, Arsene Wenger will have been pleased with the brilliant display of messers Vermaelen & Koscielny. With Arsenal about to lose their inspirational captain Cesc Fabregas and the runner up in the PFA player of the season Samir Nasri, that leaves Arsenal with a gaping hole in the midfield.

However the money that the sales will generate, will give Wenger a £60Million ‘Warchest’. You can gurantee that the Gunners will break their transfer record, but if Wenger signs Cahill for £16million; that would help to make sure Squillaci never plays for Arsenal again (Which would be a cause for celebration if you are an Arsenal fan, and a sad day if you’re a opposition fan) and it would add depth to t help Arsenal cope with injuries in defence. But is Cahill better than Koscielny? In my opinion he’s not, many in the british media say Wenger has wasted £10Million on Koscielny; but he has only had 2 seasons of top division football under his belt, we can see when he plays with a Centre-Half  who can defend, he is consistently brilliant.

Arsenal need to improve their midfield, Arsene Wenger will focus his attetniton on signing a winger, Juan Mata is the player most Arsenal fans want in the team, and with him costing at least £22million, do Arsenal really need a £16million centre back?

If and when Arsenal sign a centre-half, will Wenger be buying that defender to be NO3 in the pecking order?  If he is Dann is the centre-half that ”The Professor” will sign to bolster the backline.

Arsenal need to buy players.. that is obvious but how many? Is what Wenger and Arsenal fans alike will be thinking. A Centre back is likely to brought in, but will Wenger break the bank for Cahill or pay a reasonable price for Scott Dann?
