left back

We could move Vermaelen across and bring in Senderos or Silvestre to centre half

We could play Silvestre at left back

Personally i wouldnt want to disrupt the centre half pairing of Gallas and Vermaelen as they are doing so well

For me it would be either to just play Traore who is a capable replacement, or put Eboue in at left back...Im leaning towards Eboue slightly just because of his experience and his fitness will be better
Do you remember what happened when that last happened? Wigan at home wasnt it? :roll: i dont think putting Eboue on the left is the answer at all! Ill give it to him he has been a massive imporvement on the right side this season and has been putting in a hell of alot more effort, but on the left he is a nightmare...

I also hate to think of the idea of Sylvestre :banghead: getting in the team. his very presence on the bench worries me! The only solution in my view would be to bring traore in. I dont think breaking up the 2 centre halves when they are doing so well would be the best of ideas and Traore needs to proove himself and now is his chance!

If you'd read the other posts Mike you would have realised that Traore is also apparently out injured, thus the reason for discussing other options!! :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Maybe we should play Tom Cruise? :-P

I think Eboue is a half decent leftback, problem has tended to be when he is a leftwinger rather then shuffled across the back line so would go with him. Silvestere has looked utterly uncomfortable when asked to play there and don't want to disrupt our current cb paring

The guy's barely a half-decent right back, let alone being adequate anywhere else!! :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Traore isn't injured anymore, read arsenal.com you chubs.
November 9
Armand Traore has returned to training but was not available for the Wolves game. "It seems a bit short for Armand," said Wenger ahead of the game.

Those putting comments on here about right footers playing at left back seem to have forgotten about how well Flamini did when he played there. Not left footed, not a full back, but he did a good job so it can be done. In fact we'd not really taken to the bloke before he played at left back whereas afterwards he was seen as a pretty decent player. I don't want to see Tweety there v Sunderland, or Billy or TV5 who have to play together in central defence so give it to Traore let's hope he does OK.

According to Arsenal...

...Armand Traore is fit again after a groin injury and is available for Saturday's trip to Sunderland. "Traore and is fit and available," said manager Wenger.
