i dont see wilshere as a cam, he has the attributes but has rarely ever played there and his running usually comes from deeper.

plus his best performance for us was as a proper cm against barcelona, i still expect him to get that level back.

We'd be a lot more effective if we played Rosicky and Podolski more often.

Wenger's "play all of them together and hope" certainly is one of the factors in our poor showing so far.

Did anyone notice we went back to 4-2-3-1 as well yesterday, looked to work better as most of us predicted.

Wenger acknowledged it himself in the press conference, hope he sticks with it.

DM/CM - Diaby

CM - Wilshere

CM/AM - Ozil

LW - Podolski

RW - Sanchez


If Wenger ever puts this lineup, we'd be unbeatable.

Diaby is far from finished, Rosicky and Van Persie are testament to that, rumour has it we are going to offer him a new contract, I hope we do, players of his caliber cost ridiculous money.

Read something from the mirror a few weeks back. he would obviously have to prove his fitness. even though we have not seen much of him he has not really been injured this year, he is mainly working on getting back to a good level, i suppose we shall see more tomorrow.

Diaby is significantly more injury plagued than either of those two; also, a player of his calibre costs a ridiculous amount?

Diaby has been outstanding at times but let's not make him out to be Vieira or Schweinsteiger. I like Diaby as well as anyone else but his time spent on the sidelines has led people to over exaggerate his ability to mythical proportions.

i'd offer diaby a contract, he is a tremendous player who will be relatively fresh in his old age. I can see him playing until 38, due to his lack of playing time. Hopefully his injuries are behind him.

With guys like arteta and flamini in the squad who need to go diaby has to be given a new contract.

Yes people want us to fork out 40m on Pogba who is an inferior player, also Khedira who is shit.

Top class international midfielders do not come cheaply, we are probably better off taking a gamble with Diaby, if he can remain fit of course and play a part.
