A is for Arsenal

Dear Santa:

Mommy and Daddy keep telling me they'll give me the money to buy any toys I want, but I like them better when I can make my own from scratch. It's more satisfying to play with them that way, and they're much cheaper. The only problem is, sometimes I can't make ANY toy I want because I've got to use the materials available to me.

There comes a time when a bright new toy is required to complete my collection, and allow my whole toy chest to function as a cohesive unit. The current bunch I have look great and work together nicely, but when one gets broken I don't have a good replacement. With that in mind, I need two solid toys this Christmas: a holding midfielder and versatile replacement player, and a lovely new goalscoring machine/striker. Both should be tall, strong, and preferably French.

For the striker I want Mario Balotelli. There isn't really anyone better at the moment, and since he's young I can mold him into the type of player that I want. Unfortunately, he's Cup-tied and a bit temperamental. Hopefully I can stamp that out of him. Other options include Carlton Cole and Andre-Pierre Gignac.

For a holding, versatile midfielder I'd love Yaya Toure. He's a monster and he can play anywhere; he's very Patrick Vieira-esque. If I can't get Yaya Toure, then I'd love to get my hands on either Alou Diarra or Moussa Sissokho, both from Ligue 1. They break up play fantastically, and are also versatile and strong. Please Santa, my toys won't be able to handle another season with no silverware!

I've been a good boy. I've balanced the books, I've acted with integrity, and I play sexy football. So what if I whine a little bit now and again? I think I've proved that I deserve a trophy, but I can't win one if you don't bring me something fun to play with!

Love,

Arsene Wenger

P.S. Please please PLEASE don't let Fabregas go to Barcelona! He's my bestest player.
