Coquelin's Knee is swollen.
"We think it is short term problem" says Wenger. Welbeck was a matter of days and Wilshere was a month.
So down to Arteta and Flamini, washed -out squad players Mr Wenger will have us believe he could not upgrade.
Good times folks.

Arteta and flamini would be a nightmare. Would easily be walked over by 90% of premiership teams.
Would have to be arteta and Ramsey in CM at least. Not arteta and cazorla, and certainly not flamini.

If we have Arteta in the middle then someone mobile like Ramsey needs to go alongside him, its not perfect but Santi can perform better on the wings than Aaron

It is true though. Without coq the midfield looks a lot worse. We saw it against Zagreb. Arteta may improve a bit. But like someone said he needs a more mobile player next to him, like Ramsey. Flamini can't run and cover the ground any more and ends up making rash decisions. Ramsey has actually been making a decent defensive contribution at times his season, and his some of his tackling is pretty good. If he remains disciplined alongside arteta it might work out alright. Just we'd always suffer physically without coq unfortunately

Me think it's too early in the season for all this to start happening. Usually, it starts around February end after the CL round of 16. Then it's downhill from there till late April when a late surge ensures Arsenal ties up the 4th spot.

Poor Francis, he'll have to be amputated at the knee.
We can stick that half leg on Wilshere though. Coq's leg for Jack's wheelchair. Even trade.
