Arsenal hero Ray Parlour has urged Arsene Wenger to make two signings in January.

Like many, Parlour believes the Gunners are a striker short.

He said: "I think in January they'll need to bring in a forward and maybe a centre-half, although Alex Song can probably drop back there if he needs to.

"The way they play is exciting but for me the job Alex Song has done in the holding midfielder role has been excellent while Thomas Vermaelen is proving to be great signing for us with plenty of experience.

"I can't question or judge how Arsene Wenger wants to play and who he wants to play because he's been such a great manager.

"Some might say they need a bit more muscle but only time will tell and if they win the league this year then Arsene Wenger has proved everybody wrong."
