Arsenal Update

To show that they can make a transfer or two, Arsenal decided to revamp their midfield by adding French International, Samir Nasri.  He had originally spent his whole career including his youth careeer with Olympique Marseille.  With Marseille he was primarily used as an attacking midfielder but could see other roles with Arsenal or possibly the same.

Arsenal has truly revamped its midfield with this addition.  The likes of Cesc Fabregas, Robin Van Persie, Denilson, and Rosicky had already been on the midfield depth chart for Arsenal.  By adding Nasri, Arsenal can go in many different directions in their strategy and give them a deeper bench as all of these very talented players can not take the pitch together.

All in all, I like this move by Arsenal because it was one of the most cost effective moves in the Premiership.  Arsenal spent 12.7 million pounds on Nasri which is very cheap considering that the likes of Chelsea and Man U spent more, at times double, to revamp their respective sides.
