At the rate Arsenal and Arsene Wenger are going at in the late stages of the summer transfer window, could this be the starting eleven to take on Swansea at the Emirates in 11 days?

Szczesny

Sagna     Mertesacker     Vermaelen     Santos

Ramsey     Wilshere     A.N. Other

     Chu-Young     Van Persie

I’m still hoping that ‘A.N.Other’ is a big-name central midfielder!!!

    Exciting but there is no way Theo will not start.

    I to hope for the new centre midfield but it will be Ramsey who misses out not Song.

    Chu-Young will be on the bench and come on I hope.

    Terrific until one of them gets hurt, gets a red, or whatever other weekly plague befalls the Gunners. And, then, where’s the cover?

    The trouble with Arsenal the past several years has been depth. Depth is what we rode to the Champions League final in Paris. Recall Flamini being forced into playing left back? That’s why selling Eboue this season was madness. Nothing Wenger does at the eleventh hour will fix this fundamental problem as too many experienced players have left this season.

    The only thing I believe you’ve got right is the defense and keeping positions. (Solid defenders, Santo and Mertesacker). However, Ramsey should go on the bench (and possibly go on loan, it would help him so much), and Song should play along with Wilshere and M’Vila, Hazard, or however we sign as our big name. M’Vila and Song holding, and Wilshere as our creative outlet. The front 3 will be Walcott on the right, and RVP in the middle, and then Gervinho on the left. Our bench would be so much stronger too: Koscielny, Gibbs, Ramsey, Frimpong, Chu-Young, and Arshavin. Much better, maybe even two midfield signings.

    interesting but NO. it wont. doesnt sound like youve considered much other than the fact that we’ve signed some first team players.

    1-is song and frimpong not still suspended?
    2-unless the swans are stoke blackburn types kos will start. if verm aint fit then per if he comes will play possibly.
    3-when has rvp played left mid?
    4-hasnt gervz also got a ban and plays on the left?
    5-jack ankle means he wont be starting or even on the bench.
    6-i could go on but im bored now.

    summary- you cannot be serious.

    I think frimpong only had a 1-match ban for 2 yellows. Gervinho and Song will be though.

    RVP started at left wing, and has played there a couple of times for us, but I agree, he’s better either on the right or up front. Park can play on the wing. Looking at him, that might suit him better anyway.

  • George_D Says:

    I dont think Wilshere will be available. Gervinho will serve his 3rd match ban. Frimpong will be back, I think he ‘ll play… I wish we sign M”Vila!

    Pointless blog it’s nearly 2 weeks away , let’s see if rvp & rambo come back injury free & wait to see who def signs.

    Frimpong got 2 yellows so only misses 1 game.

  • WestGoon Says:

    Just saw we inquired about Fulham’s Dempsey. That’s the kind of cover we need–hardworking, EPL experienced, and someone who can poach goals. Sign him and a star playmaker (Hazard) and maybe Malouda and then we’re there.

    am so happy that we got a gooooooood left back now.

    that looks like a sold deffence but i would still go with koss and vermilen when we play footballing teams
    per would be good to play agains slow but stong teams the likes of bolton stoke .

    ermmmm tho has been one of are best players his starting to show his quality.
    he is are right winger

    and chu young was not sign to be in the fist eleven his more of a back up for v perise and chamak.

    all wee need now is a creative midfiled if we ger somone like hazard would would be a hard team to beat.

    but i do undersrtand wenger its not easy
    theres only a few creative midfiled out there
    and hazard dose not want to leave

  • Yakuzy Says:

    I think we will play like this: SCHEZNY, SAGNA, PER, VERM 5, SANTOS, RAMSEY, WILSHERE, M’VILA, WALCOTT, RVP, ARSHAVIN.

  • Andyvans Says:

    How dare you leave out Walcott. He gotta start. Chu Young on bench, come in on 60 mins replacing Walcott depending on the scoreline at the tym.

  • Flames Says:

    The defence is OK bt….. In the midfd, i ll prefere song, wilshere and may b Rosicky or possibly Arshavin as a creative midfder or he shld pls sign M’villa and den use wilshere as creative midfder and song in d midfd
