If we can get an out and out defensive midfielder , not just any old work horse like we had in Flamini though he was fantastic for us last season, but someone who would not only be efficient at breaking up play
Aaron Ramsay is infact a better prospect that I thought. He is better on the ball than I thought. Ramsay is very skilful and turned away from players very well.
Cash-strapped, debt-ridden, relegation-threatened selling club Arsenal suffered yet another blow in their summer of turmoil after conceding two late goals in their pre-season friendly against Burgenland XI last night
Hleb and Flamini are very good players and worked very well for us but Arsene is good enough to build another midfield, which might even be stronger than the one we had last year. My only concern will be how they start the season
New Arsenal signing Samir Nasri who was speaking to French newspaper L’Equipe (seems like rehashed stories again though), has praised the club's style of football
Traore does have a lot of talent but he also has a lot of players infront of him, especially on the flanks. He has arguably a tougher task replacing just the one player infront of him at left back though
Had Coquelin been a few years older then he could have been in with a shout because his performance yesterday showed that he has a lot of ability and bite
Ramsay, Vela and Wilshere all starting! Wow, I thought to myself. Wilshere has forced his way into the bigger picture in this pre season. Arsene wanted to have a look at him alongside more established players.
I think Arsene giving Denilson, Ramsay, Landsbury and Traore a chance with the first teamers in the first half against Barnet may give a slight indication as to who he sees closer to the first team squad. Mark Randall could have played wide right but Landsbury was the managers choice
Overmars and Petit i know thats sound like a lot of rubbish but if you look at what arsene has spent there maybe some of that money left
