Exactly, you can accuse Pique of many things, but claiming that he is not good on the ball is bloody ridiculous.
Shifting the deadwood(s) is my main concern this summer. If we cant get them all off the wage bill, then i doubt if wenger will bring in fresh players that would add to the bill. Theres arshavi, djourou, denilson,fabianski, Squillaci, bendtner, and gervinho at an average wage of 70k per week is just too much!!
just going by the rumors, wouldnt mind this team for next season .............Cesar/Mignolet.......... .Sagna......Mert.... Kos....Monrl... ......Arteta/Wilsh....Capoue.... ...............Cazorla........... Walcott....Higuain.......Jovetic.. I think we should keep Sagna. the back four seems to be working well. Dont loose a member now.. Sagna might not be at his best but hes gradually getting there, plus he is experienced and established, and am sure a few quid more to his wages wouldnt hurt the club in any way. lets keep the back four and build from there.

Now we just need the next few especially Bendtner in my eyes. Gervinho wouldn't be the worst to keep around as an impact sub if, and only if, the boss knows he's in the right mental state seeing as he's more inconsistent than a new-age Chelsea fan is if the bandwagon missed it's stop.
