Many have quoted that Arsenal are going to be a massive title contenders this season provided they keep up their impressive start to the season with outstanding performances in the first few matches. Arsenal have been more like a selling club in the past few seasons rather than a buying club. Last season, they've lost the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy to Barcelona and Manchester City respectively. To add on more to their misery, they offloaded Robin Van Persie to Manchester United this season. Every single person piled pressure on the Gunners saying that it's gonna be a hell ride this season for them as they've lost too many of their superstar players, but the Gunners proved the critics wrong early at the start of the season with impressive start. After losing the likes of Robin Van Persie and Alex Song respectively to Manchester United and Barcelona, Arsene Wenger made some decent signings during the transfer window, bringing in the likes of Santi Cazorla, Giroud, and Lukas Podolski. These three players so far have proven to be impactful for Gunners as they've well settled down in the squad and also the English game. Santi Cazorla has been branded as the new ''Fabregas'' by Arsene Wenger due to the speed, the consistent passes and the accurate shots that the player takes on in matches. The very last time that Arsenal won a silverware was back in 2005, FA Cup final against Manchester United. The top guns back then was simply irresistible with the likes of Thiery Heny, Bergkamp, Viera, Pires and so on. The current Gunners are filled with talented growing youngsters that has bright future ahead. They have definitely proven that they can be a threat in the Premier League this season and also serious title contenders. During the weekend, they've performed extremely well against the defending champions, Man City eventhough only being held for a 1-1 draw at the end, but the Gunner once again proved to be a great threat.
