Gabriel - I made the right decision!!!

Gabriel says the consistent quality of Premier League teams was a primary reason for him joining Arsenal. 

The Brazil defender has delivered a series of assured performances since arriving in London, and the Gunners have won each of the first six matches in which he has featured.

Gabriel is impressed with England's top-flight and he feels Arsenal are on the right track.

    If you look at our individual qualities we make a great team. That’s why we are playing well especially now in the last weeks of the season

“Every player knows his quality, we have top-quality training facilities and an excellent team,” the defender told Arsenal.com. “If you look at our individual qualities we make a great team. That’s why we are playing well especially now in the last weeks of the season.

“[The strength of the league is] one of the reasons why I wanted to play here. It’s a tight competition with no weak teams. Clubs at the bottom of the table compete at the same level with the leaders.

“The Premier League is a tough competition. If you lose a game, the team below you in the table will get closer. We are aware of the difficulties, but we are on the right path.



                       If Theo Walcott leaves Arsenal, who could take his place?

One thing is clear. Arsene Wenger has fallen out of love with Theo Walcott.

The man Wenger brought to Arsenal as a mere teenager has been cast aside in
 favour of pretty much anyone who is fit. The ultimate indignity for the pacey
 winger came at the weekend when Danny Welbeck, who was struggling with a
knock picked up midweek, was preferred as a second-half sub vs. Liverpool. Wenger
 would rather risk another player's health than give Walcott a game.

The issue might come down to contract negotiations. Walcott has one
 year left on his deal, and amid contrasting statements from the player and
 manager on the progress of negotiations, all does not appear to be well. The
 last time contract negotiations took place, Wenger was feeling the pinch of
the exits of Alex Song and Robin Van Persie. Many believe the club were held
 to ransom. Not surprising, really; find me an agent who wouldn't use all the
 tools available to earn the best deal for a client.

Although the ire of the manager might not simply sit with monetary demands.
 Wenger shipped out Lukas Podolski on loan to Inter earlier in the season
 despite his obvious finishing ability and the club's lack of options at
 striker. It's clear that one-dimensional players, in the new monied
 Arsenal era, are expendable.
