Starting XI

-------------------------Szczesny------------------------
--Sagna-----Koscielny----Vermaelen---Gibbs--
------------------------Song-----Wilshere--------------
-----------------------------Fabregas--------------------
---------Walcott-------------RVP-----------Nasri-----


I would have liked Nasri to leave and for us to buy in a replacement as I now just want him to go tbh. Michel Bastos would have been a perfect signing to play LB if Gibbs is not up to the challenge and also LW with Arshavin instead of Nasri.
Other from that my predicted lineup looks strong enough to be successful and like the idea of Koscielny/Djourou to be competing for the spot with Vermaelen

-----------------------Szczesny--------------------

Sagna--------- Vearmealen------------ New CB-------Gibbs--

------------Song--------------

------------Fabregas--------------Wilshere--------


------------------Gervinho-------------------------------------Nasri---

----------- RVP--------------

Viva Vela
-------------------
No place for Walcott or Koscielny/Djourou?

I think even if we were to sign a CB I'd prefer to play one of those two

I do think if (and it is a big if) we sign Cahill then he will be first choice, but if not then Kosielny will start alongside Vermaelen.

I was pondering wether to play Walcott or Gerv, but went with Gerv.

But i think Wenger will buy 1 CB, and Vermealen looks the stronger out of Kosh and Djour..

Wasnt easy picking the team tho... Just thank god we now have the GK situation sorted out!

Letting Vidal go to Juventus has really pissd me off!!! That guy could have really added a lot to our team. Losing patience and faith.

At this rate it is looking like:

------------------- Scz---------------
----Sagna--- Kos Verm ----Gibbs----
-----------------Song Whilshere ---------
------------------- Ramsey----------------
--Walcott-----------------------Gervinho
---------------------RVP------------

Which ain't too bad but the half decent back-up is limited: Eboue, Djourou, Traore, Diaby, Arshavin

Unless AW gets out there and spends £££ with the money we get for Nasri and Fab, and doesn't leave it too late.

If those two go, IMO, we need:
GK, CB, LB, DM, creative midfielder/wide player and CF

There should be lots of dosh:
£40m pot (supposedly)
£35m for Fab
£20m for Nas
£5-7m for Bender

So there's around £100m there so stop squibbling over a few million here and there and pay Bolton/Blackburn/Everton for Cahill/Samba/Jag
even if we are paying slightly over the odds.

However, like another poster says who knows what's going on in the background!
