The Wenger of the last few months seems a new Wenger.

He went to a system that turned the darkest season in recent memory into a trophy-winning one in the span of two months.

He showed his old self by snagging a Bundesliga Team of the Season member on a free, but then ditched his penny-pinching persona to buy one of the best players in the world.

Lacazette would start for any team in the world, except maybe Barcelona.

But he isn’t; he’s playing for Arsenal.

The same could be said about many other players in the starting 11.

With this new, flexible, tactically astute Wenger, the wave of optimism flowing through the club right now, it all seems a perfect storm.

Will Arsenal shrug off their weighty past?

Will the tactics and managerial strategy make sure the quality of results matches the quality of the players?

Will Alexis and Hector stay, so that these dreams can become reality?

It certainly will not be an easy task, but right now, Arsenal Football Club look up for it.
