    If Wilshere or Ozil were on form and playing alongside Ramsey, why wouldn't it be a similar issue? Why can't we have two influential midfield players when other clubs manage to do it? Xavi and Iniesta....Real Madrid with Alonso and Modric or Isco....we can't rely on Ramsey all season.

    Exactly, when the fixtures piled up, the team faded with having to keep up with the fixtures.

    It'll happen again next season too. If you have quality options from the bench to rotate, you'll be fine though.

    We need a minimum of 6 players this summer, just to cover for the departures.


    @SkyFootball : Ivan Gazidis says Arsenal are in talks with transfer targets - and is "confident" of adding to the squad this summer.

    I thought Cesc was a bit of a cunt when he left, the way he clearly engineered the move back to Barca, but I forgave him for leaving the country and playing elsewhere at least.

    But joining Chelsea???

    Man....now he really will be a cunt.

    Mancini may suck cock and you may not rate him as a manager, but the father-son relationship was a sentiment that there is evidence they both shared. Both were quoted on saying as much, so regardless what we think of it, there is truth in it.

    That Mancini had many ego's to deal with or that Balotelli couldn't be tamed by his biological pop, his step pop, his footballing pop, girl pop or his ganja rolling pop is another issue entirely.

    On a side issue... Are we really calling Cesc a cunt for not turning down every team we hate, which is half the prem and various teams across the globe though more passively. I suspect we just like to call people a cunt a little too much in this playground.

    But yes of course I'll be sickened if it is true. Though I do think people are naive for thinking there were absolutely no circumstances in which Wenger would pass up signing Cesc should he become surplus to requirements. That is putting it mildly.

    Xavi and Iniesta have two different styles, that's the point. Same for Modric and Xabi Alonso; you can't include Isco, after a promising start, Real Madrid changed formation and ultimately hasn't really suited him.

    I don't know why doubting Cesc should be the player bought seems to indicate that means nobody should be bought. To me, for Cesc to really thrive, he has to be the main hub of the team. You cite Xavi and Iniesta readily but then why has it been deemed unsuccessful with Cesc involved in that midfield too?

    But if he wants to play in England and we don't want to sign him then what should he do?

    I think it's very silly if we let him join Chelsea. Our midfielders are constantly injured and none of them are as good as Cesc - except Ramsey 2013/14.

    I really don't know why we wouldn't sign him. The whole 'don't need him' argument is nonsense for the reasons explained above.

    Cesc and Ramsey have two different styles. We used to play games with Ramsey, Wilshere and Arteta in the middle. Or Ramsey and Rosicky. How can you say Cesc isn't fit when we play such combinations already?

    I don't say he won't fit, I only doubt that he would. I see Cesc and the new Ramsey as both players that would attempt to dominate all aspects of midfield play, I don't see the same kind of play from Wilshere, Arteta and Rosicky - I don't think that's how they play.
