‘Arsenal need a miracle to win a trophy’

(GSM) – Arsenal lie third in the Premier League table with 42 points from twenty matches, three points less than table topper Chelsea, and are still in the race to win the FA Cup and the Champions League. So far, there’s nothing lost for Arsene Wenger’s team but Andrei Arshavin thinks it will be a hell of a job to win a trophy this season.

Arsenal have been without Robin van Persie, Nicklas Bendtner, Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott in recent months, and as such the burden of responsibility up front has fallen on Arshavin.

“My greatest dream is to win a title with my club,” Arshavin told the Mirror.

“Naturally, it would be better if we won the Premier League or the Champions League, but to do this we need a miracle – which is to start playing finally with our optimal line up.”

“I do not think we have had it once so far this season.”

Despite the growing injury crisis, Arshavin added that he is not convinced Arsenal will buy a new striker in the transfer window.

Wenger has been linked with Carlton Cole, Andre-Pierre Gignac and Louis Saha, but the Russian said: “I have a feeling that Arsenal are not going to buy any new players in the winter transfer window. Or if we do, it will be at the very last moment.”
