We could go back to a 4-4-2 for the games in the Premier League as it is a much favoured formation and seems to work well with:
Sczezsny
Sagna-Koscielny-Vermaelen-Gibbs
Theo-Wilshere-M'Villa-Santos/New LM
Giroud-Podolski
Or in Europe or against the big teams:
Szcezsny
Sagna-Mertesacker-Koscielny-Gibbs
Arteta-Song
Wilshere
Theo-Giroud-Podolski
Two decent teams, plus I can see us signing another centre mid before the season begins! HAVE FAITH!
Lets get M'Vila and a left sided midfielder

Not sure we have the wingers for a 442, theo is appaling there with England.

442 won us loads of trophies. we just need a proper dm like silva. how we miss him

England also make theo look bad. tbh i dont really think we worked out what to do with theo yet

Javi Martinez is worth 20m he can also play CB and is great in the air. He could do a job for us!

If we go 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1, I think theo would join the group of strikers, and would play of giroud. A choice of giroud, podolski, Walcott and afobe isn't bad, another back up would be ideal tho.
CM, wilshere and M'vila, with arteta and song rotating in, one of ramsey, coquelin, frimpong on loan and the other two filling in as replacements.
Wide men, we would need to invest. Chamberlain should be given his chance at RM. rosicky back to left mid? Ideally buy someone for this role. Gervihno can play on both. Santos can cover left.

Aren't Walcott and Song leaving, as they're in the final years of their contracts?

That M'Vila isn't as good as folk make out.
Not worth anything like the money being touted for him.

Theo could actually play up front off Giroud. Most of our existing strikers work better in 4-4-2 anyway
