THERE is a banner at The Emirates which reads "In Arsene we trust". Funny that, because in the last few weeks, having sold both Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City, for a combined fee of around £40m, there isn't much trusting going on if you listen to all those ardent Gooners out there.
For all the talk of City taking Arsenal's place in the top four, however, the reality is altogether different, and Arsenal fans have much to look forward to as the new season approaches. True, they could certainly do with some cover at the back, and a defensive midfielder to play alongside Cesc Fabregas would add some much-needed steel in the middle of the park.
However, the return of Eduardo, one of the most clinical finishers in the game, combined with an already bedded-in Andrei Arshavin, not to mention the emergence of Jack Wilshere, offers more than just a ray of hope.
Adebayor had a terrible attitude and thought he was better than he was, whilst Toure, quite simply, was past his best. £40m for the pair was a great piece of business, and if Wenger invests it wisely, Arsenal could be the dark horses in this season's title race.
