5. Squad Strength

There was a time when arsenal buying young prospects and selling them to ‘bigger’ (richer) clubs. But Wenger halted these trend in recent years and showed some serious business in the transfer window.  Not only did Arsenal manage to keep all their best players but they bought  world-class players like  Ozil, Sanchez ,Cech  and Mustafi in recent years.

Arsenal’s squad depth is very strong  such that  Wenger  can field almost three starting XI’s in theory . Some fans and pundits in agreeing that this Arsenal squad is the strongest  since the Invincible era. Squad strength is clearly visible as arsenal can win matches in EFL and champions league by resting their key players.

Arsenal have a number of players in the  squad are looking to capitalise on other’s poor form or injuries. Squad strength is the one of the specialities of the Manchester United side under the Ferguson era .

Would Arsenal can replicate these squad strength in a span of a season is a thing to watch.
