bearing in mind we also have OX who is isn't performing and the jury is still out on walcott then we have a underperfoming midfield heavy squad.
arteta and rosicky are out due to age, and Jack is out due to attitude - he hasn't learned from his mistakes, he's still out at 3am drinking in nightclubs, and he still doesn't score enough goals (or hardly any).
after 9 years without a title, no more passengers, no more pandering - we didn't carry anyone in 1998, 2002 or 2004.
I see no reason why we can't rotate the center and play Caz and Ozil together in a 4-3-2-1 with Giroud the spear and Ramsey & Flamini behind them, plus one other.
right now that plus one is not wilshire, ox or wally - someone who can score goals and track back, and of course we have little or no coverage at CB, and our LB and RB can't cross - so given we are weak in at least three positions, selling Caz isn't the answer unless the sale brings in a truly world class up and down midfielder ronaldo,ribery, robben or perhaps a swap for Cesc.
My own thoughts too - play Ozil and Carzola behind Giroud, with a 3 man midfield behind them.
Means that Giroud wouldn't be so isolated (as with 2 wide front men)
Whatever, very excited to see them link up.
