There is no denying that Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger is an architect of beautiful soccer. His teams always have quick and elegant strikers who are capable of manufacturing some of the most fluid moves you'll ever see.
Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka, Robert Pires, Sylvain Wiltord, Emmanuel Adebayor, Robin Van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Samir Nasri and co. can all give opposing defenders all sorts of headaches.
Even after some of the bigger names have left the team, Wenger can simply wave his magic wand and just plug anyone into his squad and, voila, he will become yet another promising scoring threat.
Wenger definitely has an eye for strikers. But the same cannot be said for his defense, especially the problems he's had on his goalkeepers.
David Seaman, Rami Shaaban, Jens Lehmann, Manuel Almunia, Lukasz Fabianski and co. can all give their OWN defenders all sorts of headaches, for one reason or another.
Manchester United has Edwin van der Sar. Liverpool has Pepe Reina. Chelsea has Petr Cech. Inexcusably, Wenger just can't a proper goalkeeper for his squad.
But please don't tell everyone that Mark Schwarzer is the guy you are going after, Arsene.
