First, I see potential problems, but we shouldn't discount the possibility that Traore may play a big part. Perhaps this is an opportunity for him, and perhaps he'll be good enough. 'Perhaps' doesn't settle nerves though and he'll need to prove himself a better player than when he went on loan.
Second, who knows? What we do know is he won't sulk, he won't wilt and he won't complain. He'll lead the defence well and will provide a threat on set pieces. That'll do for me. Fine player, and fingers crossed his recovery is complete.
Third, yes I think he is. He's improved since he arrived and is, in my opinion, better and/or more consistent than Djourou. I'm happy to see him in a centre back pairing, especially if a certan Sq. is kept on the bench.
Fourth, nothing is certain yet. Should they both go then I think Arsenal have enough in the squad to fill the gaps, but it will leave the team much lighter on talent and depth, no question.
Ramsey is already among the best young midfielders you'll see in the PL. Wilshere we all know about, and for once with Arsenal it's good news. So a mid of these two with Song or Fimprong in support I wouldn't be too unhappy with.
Finally, based on a few minutes pre-season, it seems Wenger has gone out and got Arsenal a rapier in Gervhino. Looks wonderfully direct and there's pace in the top line to burn. So on the striker front, I would say no more needs to be done.
What are Arsenal going to do?

No offence but this is a pointless article. Also, you can normally judge a fans understanding of the club when they spell players names wrong...
