We Need A Striker!!

Every club has its own tailsman. When you think of Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool, the first player to come to your mind will be Ronaldo, Lampard and Gerrard respectively because without them, the clubs are nothing. Their clubs seem to function very well with them and if they get injured, we can see the void left by them. In the case of Chelsea, they have billions of rubles to get themselves a new player if their players gets injured. However, clubs like Arsenal(though rich to a certain extent) have to contend themselves with fringe players when key players get injured.

I applaud Wenger's decision to stick to his youth policy which has paid divendends in the case of Patrick Viera, Kolo Toure and Fabregas but almost everyone knows that Arsenal without their prolific striker, Mr Vava voom , Thierry Henry is nothing. Although Adebayor is good, he's not in the same class as Thierry Henry. Dennis Bergkamp used to give other teams a run for their money with his slick passing and vision and Arsenal clearly needs another striker to complement Henry when Henry comes back from injury if they want to continue challenging for top honours.

Some might say that Van Persie is good and he will offer Arsenal awesome striking options but I seriously hope that he does not get injured frequently and spend more time on the bench than on the field. Another striker will solve the striker crisis issue and we can continue challenging for top honours like we used to do over the past few seasons and not let the Chelsea and Man U clowns challenging for them only and we do not have to worry about lower-rung teams beating us.

I badly need to work on my fitness as it is in a atrocious shape. I used to run the NTU route with little difficulty but now, the situation is so bad that I will stop at almost every up-slope. I do not know how I am going to pass my IPPT but I seriously hope that it's not beyond hope and my twice-weekly runs will pay off in a month's time.
