Martinez, Bender, Busquetes, Khedira, Carrick, Fernandinho, Sandro, Mikel

Every top team has 1 unquestionable defensive midfielder present in their pivot. We'll probably see Arteta/Flamini fulfilling this defensive role in our side, and subsequently being paired with an all action Ramsey/Wilshere for the majority of the season.

For Ramsey and Jack to be our long term midfield pairing, one of them will have to focus heavily on the defensive side of their game. If one of them does this, then it could certainly work. Despite his goals, I can see Ramsey developing into this player for us in a while. His positional sense has vastly improved despite his all energy action game.

Right now at least I have no real concern with our midfield options. Those 4 will play 90% of our matches. Diaby can play for the odd game when he's fit to give them a break, and Rosicky is capable of dropping in. It's pretty much an ideal scenario for the moment.
