    Also what would happen to the captaincy situation if Cesc did return? As a past captain would he automatically be expected to get it or would it go to a more worthwhile candidate IMO like Mertesacker?


    Edit - Assuming that TV5 leaves or loses the captaincy.

    Merts all day long.

    Cesc was the leader of a different dressing room so shouldn't really be considered for it.

    Edited to add: If we do bring back Cesc to play second striker and move Ozil to the wings I fear we will resort back to tiki taka....and fail to utilize the likes of Theo and Ramsey correctly. Moreover moving Cesc back to CM/Deep lying playmaker would be a massive risk IMHO, it would leave our midfield lighter than it is now and without a dedicated ball winner, we don't have one a ball winner now but we would be worse off IMHO with Ramsey and Cesc. Square pegs and round holes...
    I hear you but if we neglect other areas like RB, keeper and striker, that’s just down to incompetence and us messing around in the window as usual. We need to be flexible and able to be quicker off the mark when doing business.

    Regarding our style of play and us going back to tika taka lite….short, quick passing has always been a part of Wenger’s game. It will always be in our DNA. As the team becomes more proficient, the fluidity and passing gets better or if we’re against weaker opposition, we’ll pass them off the park. Our style looks different in certain games now because we’re struggling to pass the ball and hold possession and it’s not a part of the blueprint. We don’t have the players to pass the ball comfortably around the park and it’s why we struggled badly in the big games.

    Speaking of Ozil, if he moves out wide, it may cause and issue, but it might help his game. What he’s doing in the middle isn’t all that fantastic. If Wenger restricts his role to creating space with his dribbling, final third passing and intelligent movement, he may have a more suitable role. If not, he’ll have to battle for a spot in the middle and that’s fine by me. Earn your keep. As for Ramsey, a more advanced role should harm him because he’s always buzzing around the pitch and getting into the final third with his shots and dropping back for tackles. Theo….well, I think he should be playing as a striker anyway but I don’t think he’ll be starting straight away when the new season starts because of his injury.

    We’ll see what happens anyway.

    Greizzmann scored last night for France in their 1 - 1 draw against Paraguay. Apparently he was mightily impressive and there's quite a lot of clamour for him to start over there now.

    Giroud also missed his customary chances as well.



    Been watching most of the videos uploaded by the French FA on their official channel of the French squad training and hanging out in preparation for the WC and I'm guessing because it's his first time but Greizzmann always seems quite shy and alone.

    Kosicienly and Giroud need to get in there, befriend him and start tapping him up like fuck!!!

    If Barca are selling Cesc…and he only wants to come to England…then we have to sign him, he adds quality and it keeps him out of the clutches of Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City. It would also allow us to rotate when needed. I can't see him ever signing for Chelsea or playing under Mourinho but to see him in a Man City shirt would be painful. We are definitely becoming Manchester's feeder clubs in that sense.
    I have a feeling that there is something to the Balotelli rumours…and I think he's worth a gamble…hopefully at 23 he is starting to mature a little and realise what a talent he has before it's too late. I am still a fan of Draxler, so hopefully we can sign him for a sensible fee…If we can sign Begovic as a keeper and Caulker as a CB, Aurier seems to be on the cards and the talk of Lars Bender is very positive too. Hopefully we make some signings earlier rather than later.

    How good exactly is Lars Bender? I've never seen the dude play, and everything I've heard from him / about him this season suggests he hasn't had the best year? What's he all about, apart from being a defensive / central midfielder?
