Not really a dream squad but one if I were manager of Arsenal rather than an armchair analyst/keyboard warrior, I'd love to have.
It would be based on a 4-4-2 formation.
GK's. In: Vorm / Out: Fabianski / Kept: Scezesny
Chesney needs stiffer competition.
RB's: No change: Sagna and Jenkinson
LB's: No change: Gibbs and Santos (that could change)
CB'S In: Jagielka: Out: Djourou/Squillaci / Kept: Kos/Verm/Mert
Not sure if Jagielka is the answer but certainly a more reliable back-up option would be vital
RW: In: Hazard / Out: Walcott. Kept: The OX.
Never liked Walcott so this is straightforward.
LW: Out: Arshavin / Kept: Gervinho/Miyaichi
Arshavin's time is up
CM: In: Rodwell / Out: Rosicky/Diaby/Arteta/Denilson / Kept: Song/Wilshere/Coquelin
Rosicky can't offer us enough and Diaby is merely a figment of our imaginations. Arteta I really like, but with Wilshere back theoretically, there's no room left.
CF's: In: Ba/ Benzema / Out: Park / Kept: Van Persie/Chamakh
That would make a squad of 22 and the following 3 spaces I'd opt for Ramsey/Martin and one AN Other.
Now, my knowledge of the game outside of England is pretty weak so there are better alternatives I'm sure. But still, thoughts?
Dream Squad.

Pretty sure Leeds isn't in the realm of Christendom so hopefully they get promoted.

Really Kam?
Squillaci linked to a move away in January... Chamakh linked to a move away in the summer and again in January... Almunia applied for a part-time job in Pret A Manger...
How is it we can never get rid of these players?

Where was Miquel today btw? He should ahead of Squillaci and probably Djourou as well in the pecking order!

GK Szczesny, Fabianski, Martinez
RB: Sagna, Inkoom( Can perform Eboue role by playing several positions.)
CB: Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Hangeland
LB: Baines, Gibbs
CDM: Coquelin, Song
CM: Ramsey Arteta, Wilshere, Cabaye, Rosicky
W: Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho, Miyachi, Hazard
CAM: Lucas Moura
ATT: RVP, Podolski,Dembele, Afobe
Under 21 players included so even though 26 players included still squad space for the likes of Santos etc.

Before I go, have you guys seen Batman's article on the City/United board about the FA Cup? The Squillaci comment alone had me in fits.

Yes I did see it. He also did a Champoins League one
