Who will fill the vacant slot? It's a toss up between Iwobi and Welbeck.


Henry - Bergkamp thou has worked.
Why not Auba - Lacza ?

........... then don't vote for them simple.

An option is there because in the Arsenal team and according to Wenger they are an option!

This isn't Nazi Germany.

I voted for Ramsey, he's a midfielder so keeps the balance and he scores, I'd like to try Lacazette at CF or WF as well but just don't think Wenger will ever go for it.

Henry and Bergkamp had different skill sets. Henry was known for his blistering pace and finishing, whereas Bergkamp's assets (among others) were his passing and vision. As such, they formed a deadly partnership.

This isn't the case with Aubameyang and Lacazette. They are both very similar as players, which means it'll be much harder for them to form a partnership.

Definitely between Ramsey and lacazette for me. You could easily make a case for one to start over the other but the formation needs to be adjusted correctly depending on who starts. If lacazette starts we would need positionally disciplined players in midfield. If Ramsey starts we’d need players up front who can track back well or Ramsey to at least remember he’s a midfielder first and not a second striker.

If the edge must be given to one of them, though, then I think Ramsey would be the right choice because Ramsey delivers just as many if not more goal contributions than lacazette and he does it from midfield which is important because we play in a league where the midfield battle often times decides games

Lacazette for me, he's a goalscorer.

Iwobi is rubbish and so is Welbeck, they shouldn't be anywhere near the 1st team, Ramsey has been average for too long as well, despite his hattrick on Saturday.

Of course Wenger will never play Laca, he's developed an allergy to playing two strikers when back in the day we did so and sometimes played 4 up front to try and win a game, now he seems obsessed with playing midfielders.

If Ramsey is being Hollywood and getting goals I think he brings more balance as a midfielder as much as I'd love to see LMAO all play together.

Maybe bring on Lacazette if we need a goal from the 70th min onward?

Wenger is def going to go with 5 mids and 1 striker though, despite his comments.

If Aguero and Jesus (when fit) alternates at City, I don't think it should be a big deal to do the same with Ramsey and Lacazette. It should be made easier by the fact they bring very different things to the table.

Should be based on the opposition. Do they pack the midfield or not?

Agree with rastayouth and arsenalplan on PEA up top with Ozil behind flanked by Micky on the right and Lacca on the left. Whilst Jack and Rambo can play together, I fully understand the concern of them both forming the base of our midfield. However, if for arguments sake we had our famous back 5 behind them as the defence, would we have the same concerns? With a defence as effective and efficient as that now, the deficiencies we suffer in not having a bonafide defensive midfielder would largely be negated by the organisation, endeavour and guile of the defenders and centre backs in particular, so breaches would be minimal but moreover wouldn't descend into the chaotic often comical episodes we have been accustomed to.
