The only time I see this formation workin' defensively and offensively thereby relievin' us from the creativity burden Cesc leaves us with when he eventually joins Barcelona is if we defend from the front. RVP, Theo, Gervinho, Arshavin are going to be Key in our Defensive/Creative structure. Closing down the opposition in their own half will free up spaces where we can plug gaps easily without the
It winds me right up that after two and a half months, Arsenal still haven't achieved anything in improving their weaknesses and there's an obvious solution staring them in the face at Blackburn. I'm not saying that Samba will be a guarenteed success and that Arsenal will be invincible if they sign him but, in my opinion, he would improve Arsenal.

Not only because they would have made a tasty Spanish omelette of a pair on the pitch together but also because I can’t help feeling
I am looking forward to Gervinho and Walcott having the movement, link up and artistry of Robin Van Persie. Marouane Chamakh is still out of sync right now and looks a shadow of the man that came in and hit the ground running last season. He gave the ball away frequently in the time he was on the pitch and did not cause the defenders any problems at all. Hopefully it is still pre season rust with him
