Note- This article is made with the presumption that Sahin and Cazorla will 100% sign for Arsenal before the season starts.
As the title says i firmly believe that Arteta is undroppable. He, along with RVP and Koscielny were the spine of our team last season. He may not be the creative hub of the side that we thought he may have been when Wenger swapped Fabregas for him but in lots if ways he became one of if not THE most important cog in our side.
I don't know how good Sahin is because i haven't watched him at all except for youtube but what i have seen shows me he is a good player who could unlock a defence with his eyes closed. That being said, i would have him replace Song in the team rather than Arteta.
Arteta was the leader that we needed on and off the pitch. When he wasn't in the squad it seemed as though the team had absolutely no bottle at all. No-one was positionally aware enough to take on the Arteta role. Whether Sahin can do this, i do not know.Hopefully next season Song can sit back a bit more when Cazorla is eating the villagers.
Arteta would be my choice for captain. He may have been injury prone at Everton but he is the man with the right attitude to drive us forward. I chose Arteta also because Vermaelen also looks as though his place is under threat and in CB you need to find the right pair and quickly and that could very well be Mert-kos and unless one gets an injury our Captain-elect could be in a position where he cannot get into the side.

Most have probably seen it before.
Arteta is undroppable.

Good point but I would love to see song go, his defensive work has never been enough, if we want to win to trophies then we need more disciplined players in the middle of the park and players who can keep possession. If Barca want him then sell him for 15-20m.

I was sceptical enough when Petit agreed to join Barca.
If Song were to go there, I'd seriously doubt his sanity.
On another note though D'J... The Walking Dead season finale tomorrow night!

I thought this season dragged on too much. Preferred series one, shorter and more to the point. Too much filler in season 2.
Seen trailers for season 3 and it looks like it will get back to its violent best. A certain someone will return after being absent throughout the whole of season 2 and their return will be very interesting.

Great article.
"I agree. The only player that can replace Arteta is Wilshere in our squad. But Wilshere needs to first be fit, and the regain form and stuff.
Arteta is definetley our most important midfielder atm."
Even Wilshere wouldn't get in ahead of him.
Arteta's better than him imo.

------------------------
Only things Arteta is better than Wilshere are defensivley and fact he has exp. In CL games he is not as comfortable. Wilshere, CL or PL, he is equally good.
