2. Javi Martinez
Javi Martinez could be the defensive midfielder Arsenal has needed. In my other article, “Five Arteta Replacements” (include link when posted?), I write about him there and is my top pick as Arteta’s replacement. In short, he is a top class defensive midfielder. He tackles, passes, and reads the game well. Is very technically sound and fits our ethos and team needs like a glove. He’d be an excellent partner to our current “Golden Boy”, Aaron Ramsey. Again, the Spaniard seems to be unhappy at Bayern Munich and could be on his way out. His market value is £30 million and I think he would be worth every penny.
