Four reasons for Arsenal fans to be POSITIVE despite lack of signings, including Man Utd & Chelsea cock-ups

2) They’re defensively strong

Arsenal are not yet scoring or playing their best attacking football, but they continue to look solid after some stronger defensive displays last season. Petr Cech’s arrival will prove a great signing despite his nightmare start in the opening day against West Ham, which looks increasingly like a freak result. Elsewhere, Gabriel has shone in the absence of Per Mertesacker and looks like a good January signing, despite not initially playing as first choice.
