Signed Ramsey STATUS -3 MIDFIELDERS
So, we're 3 players short in midfield compared to last year and yet AW is not sure if we need anyone else. Well, I'm not Carol Vorderman but even I can see that we have less players now than this time last year.
Sort it out AW, 2 midfielders please, NOW
I'd settle for one big commanding centre back and one big commanding centre midfielder (mind you a quality keeper wouldnt go amiss either)

I though Gallas - Djourou midfield partnership looked stronger than Gallas - Toure.
If Denilson - Cesc seems too lightwieght (and it seems the best option we have at moment) then put Toure or Djourou next to Cesc.
Not sure if either has 90 mins running at top pace considering their builds, but I think Djourou despite being taller, is the more athletic of the two.
I just think Toure is not match fit yet and is coming off the back of worst spell of his career.
Injuries happen, frustrating as I didn't want a Denilson-Cesc partnership but I doubt this injury is going to make Arsene go and buy a midfielder if that wasn't his plan already. None of the current injuries are out for a long time and there is no need for another situation where we bring in one too many and he stinks up the club with his attitude
i am glad you have faith in our medical team when you say none of the current injuries are long term.Remember last season Wenger said RVP would be out for 4 weeks he was out for 5 monrths and that Rosicknote would be out for days rather than weeks,Rosicknote is still on the missing persons list.There have been more sightings of Shergar than him.The thing is when a player gets injured at Arsenal double the recovery time.My money is still on Eduardo coming back before Rosicknote
STATUS -1 MIDFIELDER
