    Santos as a LW ?

    He's probably going to be shipped out in the summer, but how about trying him out in the position Bale plays in ? Shit at defending, decent at attacking.

    Wenger was already toying with the idea in the summer during pre season games.

    Why not, he's Brazilian probably have decent skills as well much better than playing him at full back (who's idea was it to play this guy at full back in the 1st place?)

    Might be worth a try. Not instead of Podolski but he shouldn't be playing on the left.

    Santos can be very useful at the LW . Do not expect Podolski to play every game . Santos has a very good left shot . His decision making in the final third is much better than Gervinho's .
    We need to look at the big picture to see it . But if we keep on using our anger and emotions to analyze the problem we will certainly miss out .
    DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .

    I can't see the harm in trying him there. Pod has some on and off games and it's not his fault because he's still adjusting to playing as a winger. Santos seems to know what to do when he's in the final third and can dribble so it's worth a shot. He can shoot as well.

    I think the way we play our wingers unbalances the team. Both are strikers and to get the best out of their striking ability we need them to play closer to the box and getting on the shoulder of defenders, especially in Theo's case. They'll also drift more to the centre and it works fine in some games to do this and we've ripped teams that have foolishly gave us too much space and played a highline but better and more organised teams usually cause us problems.

    It's worth trying Santos further up and seeing what he can do. His defending is the main problem from what I can see but going forwards he's pretty good and we need cover.

    Left wing is the only place he should play, he's clearly not a defender and that's been known since he first turned up.
