A midfield of Wilshere, Ramsey and Ozil will get bullied off the park. We need some defensive grit to go along with the skill.
Well was'nt the case last Season with Arteta, Ramsey and Ozil.
For me Wilshere is a more aggressive player than Arteta. Plus who knows what will happen with Diaby - he may actually get fit. Flamini is not exactly a pushover and Roiscky can play anywhere.
If we can add a TOP CLASS Defensive mid/Box to box player then we should but.. we have ALOT of midfielders already so there's no point adding unless they are a improvement in all round quality.
Er, yes it was. The title contenders each gave us a hiding.
When we spanked you 6-0 I think Ramsey was out injured.
You played Ozil, Ramsey and Arteta against us at the Emirates in the 0-0 draw I believe.
Arteta didnt play when City tonked you 6-3 either, he was an unused sub.
I think Ramsey also missed your 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Liverpool too.
Last season does suggest that you have better games when all 3 are fit and playing.
Hardly a crumb of comfort is it. All teams lose players over the course of the season and this obviously makes it harder to get a result when you are missing your best players. But getting hammered by your rivals is a cause of real concern and is something we need to address this coming season.

If the papers will link us with Nani, they'll link us with anyone.I can't see Casillas coming to us - the signing doesn't make sense on any level. He's leaving a huge team where he's been No1 and is obviously not going to be happy playing back up.
We've lost a back up keeper and need to replace him, we also have a young 1st choice keeper whose just coming into his prime, and who Wenger has frequently shown his faith in.
We are also not going to break the bank for a back up keeper, or have two 1st choices disrupting the squad or bench Szczenzy for 2 years (hindering is progress, or making him leave) until Casillas retires - with his performances decreasing all the time.
It's just the usual paper talk BS
Nice one - only a few more names away from having a full, excellent squad.
The worry is that the 2 areas of the team we all said needed strengthening at the end of last season we've seen nothing
You're assuming we're not going to play Sanchez through the middle.The worry is that the 2 areas of the team we all said needed strengthening at the end of last season we've seen nothing
