Signing Gallas and Baptista might have a positive effect at the training ground.
What do you think is the reason why we play so beautiful but no strength? Was losing Viera the only reason why the whole team had the shift in style from that of our undefeated season?
Probably, there might be some other reason.
New & Young Players have to adapt their playing style to bond with the senior squad. Our undefeated squad, with Viera, Henry and Campbell as the leader in each department, played tough but beautiful football. It was not just those three, but whole team played that kind of football.
Last year, with the absence of Viera, the decline of Campbell, Pires & Bergkamp, and the injury of Lauren. Suddenly, Henry, Gilberto & Toure became a new group of leader and those whom all our youngsters and new players had to follow and adapt themselves to play with.
The result, with Henry, Gilberto & Toure as the leader, could be predictable. - Beauty & Elegant passing football but no strength.
Even Hleb and Adebayor, who played more direct football before they joined us, NOW want to pass & pass.
Of course, you could think that this assumption is all wrong. The true reason might be because Prof. Wenger wanted to play this style of football. But look at Wenger's whole career at Arsenal, had anything like this happen before?
The atmosphere at the training ground will be changing with the arrival of Gallas and Baptista.
Two direct and senior players who could fuel the fighting mentality of our young players.
Of course, we will still play beautful football, with Henry as the leader.
But what will happen with our young defenders with Gallas as the chief-in-command there? Expect more toughness there, aren't you?
And what will happen with our young midfielders & attackers, who have to fight for the starting place with the very direct Baptista?
Such an interesting atmosphere, isn't it?
