We don't need a better RB than Sagna but we do need a good back up, while Jenkinson develops.

I remember many years ago when a journo was blowing sunshime up AW's arse about how fantastic he was for seeing that TH14 would be a great striker following the departure of Le Sulk, Aw stating that his original intention had been to play Anelka up front with TH14 and Overmars either side of him, and I'm wondering whether he might be considering being a bit more adventurous next season.

I would certainly rather see three goal-scoring attackers than RvP, Ramsey and Benny.

Would love to see 4-3-3 next season with Podolski and RVP playing off Giroud if he signs.

With Arteta and Wilshere in behind would be a fantastic attacking 5 however the key then would be to get a solid holding midfielder who would sit and protect the back 4 (M'Vila or Martinez in an ideal world).

The back 5 also would need reinforcing but thats another matter entirely. Getting a good back up RB and GK to start. The Gordon suggestion is not bad but would prefer Ben Foster if he is still available.

The back 5 will improve as soon as we get a holding midfielder that actually sits and holds.

Theo-----Arteta----Song------Podolski


Dont think you can play 4-4-2 with a midfield like that, technically its quite poor. I do like the idea of keeping defenders occupied by two strikers but we need a technical as well as a defensive upgrades.

Dang forgot about Wilshere!, but still I think the same applies.
