Song & Arteta Back To The Future / Continuous Contract Chatter

There is a clear foundation in the team now, a strong platform for our offensive players to reap the rewards. Arsene has had to place many midfielders on his mental weighing scales in an attempt to find the right balance. The first switch to 4-3-3 meant that we were often punished on the counter attack so then a second midfielder had dropped back into a second midfield position to readdress that issue.

His hat-trick against Chelsea is still fresh in my mind and I really can't help thinking the level he would have been at, had he stayed injury free 2 years back. He is currently on 29 goals in 28 games in the league this calendar year(2011), a feat only bettered by Ronaldo of
