Arsene Said Foreigners Needs Six Months To Adapt

It happened to him exactly how it happened to Robert Pires, Nicolas Anelka, Thierry Henry, Kolo Toure and so many others. Time and again, Arsene has reiterated his reasoning of new imports to the team. They all need at least 6 months to adapt to the new team as well as the demands of the English game. Patrick Vieira apart, each one of the above mentioned have proved this theory correct. And on the third last day of the 2007, Wenger has got it right again.

Eduardo Da Silva has waited a long time for this to come. The time where he showed everyone why Wenger plumped a little more than 9 million for this Brazilian born Croat striker. His strike rate for his previous club Dinamo Zagreb and country Croatia are stats that every striker craves. This is a natural striker who knows the back of the net without having to look.

He's not exactly a like for like replacement for Henry but as the further games will show, this guy will bring just a many goals if given half a chance. Tried as Everton might, they were undone by 2 world class strikes with such precision and calmness. The second one had a touch of Bergkamp in it, just to put the icing on the cake. He may not be totally in sync in most of his playing teammates yet but this fella how continued his scoring streak just the same.

This was a game that the team needed to show their resilience and craving for the Premiership crown. Everton took the early goal lead and it could all be coming down hill from there. But as the boys strode out in the 2nd half, they showed just how much they wanted to win. Four goals may have be flattering but the defence deserves a special mention for thwarting numerous aerial bombing that Everton threw at em.

Having knew that their nearest rival had lost their game at Upton Park, Arsene and Arsenal knew that they needed to grab the chance to surge ahead. Took their chance they did. By 2008, Arsenal are back where they belong, ON TOP.
