VDV could have played as part of a central midfield 3, behind the centre forward or even as one of the wide players in a front three (although he's not as effective there). Our problem has been that our squad has been too weak, with insufficient quality in numbers. What would have been the problem of having an additional quality player to give us more options? And anyway, Wenger must have known Cesc would have left eventually in 2010 (when VDV signed) so he could have become Cesc's successor.
