The league is more competitive than it has been for some time, and the injection of money into top flight football, with no infinite pool of mega talent means that the gap is closing again. Soon you won’t be able to “buy” success, as the amount of money that continues to pour in will dilute everything.

The fact is, only two teams have assembled a top class “team” in the league, the second tier clubs in the top six have bungled their creation of a team but have “some” higher calibre players. The rest of the league are all either assembling teams of less quality and more cohesion, or....not.

The gap is closing as the rare megastars get drawn over the globe, and the mediocre is scrapped over.

Arsenal need a settled squad, and a manager who know what he wants from his players. Those players need to be better than average, but the manager needs to know what to do with them.
