Arsenal need to find a Robin van Persie. If Mikel Arteta's team unearths a goal scorer to match Van Persie's impact, their status as the Premier League's 'nearly team' could end.
Van Persie left after growing tired of repeated failure to win trophies. His 26 goals at United secured the Premier League title, highlighting how one signing can change fortunes.
Arteta's Arsenal, having finished as runners-up to Manchester City, now find themselves in a similar predicament that Ferguson's United faced before signing transformative players.
Arsenal's lack of a reliable centre-forward has been a significant issue for almost two years, and as City falters this season, it seems they still haven't addressed it.
