In todays game with matches often twice a week, a club like Arsenal really needs a squad of 22 quality players (2 teams) with youngsters as emergency back-up. First Team ----------------Szczesny-------------- --Sagna--Koscielny--Vermaelen--?????-- -----------------Song----------------- ---------???????------Wilshere--------- -Walcott--------v.Persie------Gervinho- Second Team --------------Fabianski---------------- --??????--Djourou--??????????--Gibbs-- ---------------???????---------------- ----------Rosicky---Ramsey----------- -????????------????????------Arshavin- Even with pushing it for certain players in that second team, and Gibbs in the first, you can see where we lack quality depth. We need the following players: First team: LB, CM Second team: RB, CB, DM, RW, ST. That is 7 players. not enough time, but I would like (realistic) LB - Cissokho CM - Arteta (would prefer better, but who?, not Kaka or Hazard) RB - Santon CB - Cahill DM - M'vila RW - Elia ST - Park Chu Young Then we could challenge for the top 4 at the least.
First Team ----------------Szczesny-------------- --Sagna--Koscielny--Vermaelen--?????-- -----------------Song----------------- ---------???????------Wilshere--------- -Walcott--------v.Persie------Gervinho- Second Team --------------Fabianski---------------- --jenkinson--Djourou--??????????--Gibbs-- ---------------Frimpong---------------- ----------Rosicky---Ramsey----------- -Ryo/OXO------Campbell------Arshavin- with the reviews/money paid for ryo/Oxo respectivly you'd have to assume they shall be near the first/second team, same with campbell if he ever gets his visa or that korean geezer we've pretty much signed instead of campbell/chamakh, even tho off form at the minute can do a job But i agree, a left back and a centre mid is needed, preferably top class sagna misses maybe 5 games a season max so jenkinson is good enough backup for him, and has shown in our CL games he has a reasonable amount of ability only thing i can suggest is play Arshavin in the fabregas role and hope his preferred position can help him regain form etc and the extra challenge/being out of the limelight for ramsey can help him regain his pre injury form im sure santon is just a name you got from FM/newcastle bein linked to him Cahill, who hopefully we should be getting and the midfielder wenger said hes after to help and we'll be sorted for now
