"StatDNA’s database is now Arsenal’s database, so if Wenger wants to sign a defender, who is, say, 6ft 4in, an excellent reader of the game and an accurate passer, one push of a button will bring up the best options in world football."
Interesting and Arsenal need a few.
between per, kos, gabriel and chambers, arsenal has a good number of defenders. the three main guys (per, kos and gabriel) are interchangeable and play quite well with each other.
now, arsenal 100% needs a defensive midfielder. only coquelin is not enough (arteta and flamini are not good enough).
also, i don't believe that a system like this one is new. i can't find the source, but sometime ago i read SAP's owner (founder?) had a system much like this one built for the german national team.
