Well yes, that's what I was thinking. If there's a position that Arsenal don't need to improve on, it's midfield playmaker......really odd one, but of course a good player.
What formation are you making there? I'd want Walcott in the first team, and I'd want a defensive midfielder next to Arteta.
Think it would be better if they played Wilshire and Ramsey as the holding mids as they did yesterday then have Carzola, Arteta and Ozil as the 3 CAM's then with Giroud up top, remembering they still have Podolski, Walcott, Chamberlain, Rosicky, etc. Quite a team.

At the very least, I would have: Arteta Wilshire Walcott Ozil Cazorla Ideally though (and quite obvious, surely?), a proper DM should be in there instead of Arteta. Forget about Ba, Mr Wenger (as much as he'd improve Arsenal's back up to Giroud). You need a decent DM.
I am looking forward to his speech- will it be in Spanish or translated?? Although it does look like he has missed a very small patch under his lip when shaving this morning.
Think the Premier League would complain if we took fifteen yards off of each side of the pitch? Maybe if we agreed to fill it with adverts...?
I haven't seen Ancelotti yet, seems to be more about the president! (Although he may be taking training!)
And there's another reason not to have a transfer window. So we don't have silly anti-climaxes like today. Someone remind me how long the transfer window has been in existence..?
