If Coq is out long term, kiss our season goodbye, it will be a good ole fight for 4th spot in typical fashion. There is no chance in hell we are challenging anything with a defensive midfield relying on Flamini and Arteta, if they weren't good enough before, they sure as hell aren't going to be good enough now having aged as well.
It is already happening. Arteta not quick enough. Gives away a free kick (soft one though) and we concede.
I do really wonder what's inside some fans' heads when they constantly bring up Flamini and Arteta as proof Arsenal didn't need to sign any new outfield players because these 2 contribute to having a large squad. Delusional is the only way to sum it up. Lol and just as I write that, Arteta is at it again.
Remember lads, we really really didn't need to sign any more outfield players, we have a 'great' squad with the likes of Arteta. LOL.
