Yaya to Arsenal? 5 reasons why this has to happen!

So the rumors that the Toure brothers will reunite in North London are cropping up again...and here are 5 reasons why this is good for Arsenal -

  1. More muscle - Yaya will bring much needed muscle to Arsenal's midfield. With the lose of Flamini and Gilberto, Arsenal are in desperate need of a holding/defensive midfield and one with the power of Yaya would be a tremendous asset. The Arsenal midfield is already slight of stature, adding Yaya would give it some size and muscle. As well as protecting Cesc.
  2. Partnering with his brother - that would be cool to see...Yaya and Kolo on the pitch at the same time, plus it would give Arsenal a solid spine. Wonder which is Mommy Toure's favorite?
  3. Arsenal needs to show it has some money - So far this transfer season Arsenal is in a net loss when it comes to players. The biggest name they added was Nasri while losing such names as Hleb, Flamini and Gilberto. This would be a sign that Wenger still has some money in the kitty.
  4. Give cover for the backs - Clichy and Sagna have tendancies to push up and to be aggressive on their offensive runs. Arsenal will need someone in the midfield that can cover when the backs make their runs.
  5. Target Ronaldo - Yaya would be a good option to nullify opponents' midfield maestros and offensive players - Ronaldo, Bentley, Gerrard, Lampard, Ballack, etc. The back 4 are solid in covering the strikers, but Arsenal can use a player to break up the offense from the midfield.
Again these are rumors that have been out there for a long time. But I think Wenger needs to move on this one, Yaya has been talking about playing for Arsenal for a long time. Now let us get him in the Arse Kit.
