Promotions And Signings Required To Fill Voids

Add to Technorati Favorites

We will have most of our players back by tomorrow... Hleb and Gilberto depart. I was sad to see Gilberto leave, really thought his experience would have been useful next season.


If we don't sign a defensive midfielder (Didn't realise but Diaby
is injured), and RoSicknote is going to be injured for a while. The
squad is starting to look mighty thin... especially of proven
Premiership player (I wonder when the ones Wenger promised are going to
arrive)

The current status quo leaves us with these options in midfield.

Walcott---Fabregas/Nasri---Song/Denilson---Nasri/Vela/Traore

Given that two of those players have never seen the premiership. I
personally don't think there is any chance of Ramsey getting
premiership games this season, so I'm discounting him. I'm loathed to
consider Eboue on the Right. Nasri can play Right too and Traore is an
option on the Left of midfield. Now to me only Fabregas has real
premiership experience, going into a campaign with only one experienced
midfielder is going to be a big ask....


We will all be expecting a series of signings?? Maybe a condition of the Hleb release was a clear run at signing Yaya.
