Is the Asia Tour helping Arsenal?

Arsenal head to Asia for the third straight year. But, Is the tour helping Arsenal? It is increasing the fan base that's all. The players are being put at risk of getting injured just so the club can gain profit. That's the reason why the Asia Tour is not a good idea. When you trying to win a trophy the most important thing is keeping players fit throughout the season. But having the players travel from Indonesia to Vietnam to Japan will increase the chance of a player's injury.

So what Should Arsenal Do? Arsenal should go to only one Asian country. Or they should play friendly games in Europe. The Emirates Cup should have more games, because it tests Arsenal players and prepares them better for next season.
