    Agreed. Better to play players in their best positions than move them around to try and accommodate others. We are rather heavy in the central attacking positions, but it was heartening to see Cazorla and Wilshere pick it up.

    Personnally I think we've been missing a winger for ages - and I would have loved for Arsenal to sign Di Maria...

    But at least we've got Walcott (when/if fit) and Sanchez to give some pace and ability to beat a man.

    Would be great to get about 3 more players in to complete our squad - I don't see it happening though

    In fairness we have Theo and Gnabry to come back and compete with Alexis and AOC on the flanks. That's not too bad when you throw in Cazorla and a few others who can fill in there. Still think we're lacking a natural left sided player there though.

    I forgot about Gnarby, hopefully he'll continue to have improved and will get more game time this season - though I imagine the injury he's got now will have set back his preparation.

    Gnarbry was suppose to go out on loan to Aston Villa this season, but his injury prevented him from going. Not sure if he is still scheduled to go or it'll be delayed until Jan/Feb.

    With everyone back fit, It would be very hard for him to break into our side, especially on the flanks when we have Sanchez, Walcott, OXO, Cazorla and Pod to pick from. A loan deal would be best for him.
