But cesc needs a partner, i heard something about Arsene was intrested in Yaya Toure and Ruben De La Red, if im perfectly honest i think De La Red would help,we have far too many young players which i think will go far but Arsene needs to stop buying young players for a while and start focasing on the more older and expeirenced ones. yeah, i agree with what Jav was sayin and i agree with his starting line up, adebayor and van persie work very wel together.

As far as I have seen Diaby play dont think he would work as a defensive mid. AW has played him as an AMF more than as a DMF, also I do agree that the injury could have set him back. It may mean he never reaches the same potential. I dont think Diaby is the solution, however I am waiting to be surprised, wont mind a repeat of Flamini's last year's heroics :). As for Gallas, he seems to be on his way down, and I would have been really happy if we had got Zapata in and got rid of Gallas this year. However, for Djourou I always feel he is the brains guy, not the hardened physical guy, despite his height. He cant be the fearless in your face Sol Campbell. The center back position takes maturity, and I feel the kids we have need time to get there. And fully agree on the 60 mins for Adebayor and 30 mins for Bendtner theory :) As for second string for FA Cup, dont think so, thats a serious tournament, for the Carling Cup, definitely.... @ Jav – Diaby was called the new Viera basically for his resemblance to him, the same kind of physique as Viera.

The only reason I can think of is to utilize him as cover if and when injuries strike. Everyone claims he's a nobody and I would be inclined to think the same but the boss must see something exceptional in him or else he truly is starting to loose the plot. Cheekgooner is right in a way. But half of the fun is speculating who's gonna play and what have you. Sukhan, I think you are way of the mark with Diaby as are most of his critics who havn't seen him really play. Remember this guy was touted as our Viera replacement and those that remember him playing before the bastard AKA Dan Smith broke his ankle will remember how strong, ferocious and tenancious he was. Having missed practically a year and primarily playing on the left wing last season, Sukhan, I can't understand how yu would manage to question his ability in a central defensive role. As Flamini made it so apparantly clear last season you don't neccesarily need bags of talent or technical ability to hold down the defensive midfield berth. Flamini worked his bollocks off and was rightly rewarded so, much like a Gattuso. I think Diaby is the player we've really been crying out for the past two seasons and it's such a shame that he's been injured for the most part of that period. I think that he will surprise a lot of people and our competitors and truly believe that this is his season to shine. Also, at 6ft 2in he adds much needed height to our teams full of midgets. Perhaps he is the reason Wenger is refraining from buying a tall, central defender. Does anyone else think Gallas is starting to wane a bit? I would much rather see Djourou and Toure starting at the back together, as again Djourou adds height. He may not be good enough to replace Gallas but give him a run of games please Wenger. I can picture him being a future Sol Campbell type of player. My starting line up would be: Almunia Sagna Toure Djourou Clichy Diaby Nasri Fabregas Vela Adebayour(?) Van Persie I question marked Adebayour as I believe that we may have an even more potent striking option available in Bendtner. Actually, I would prefer to see Bendtner play up front with maybe Vela and Van Persie on the wing as he does so for Holland. The only thing I see good about Adebayour is his ability to continually run around like a clueless donkey and harrass the opposition eventually tiring them down. So it may be an option to play him for 45 - 60 mins before bringing on Bendtner to finish them off as he seems to me to be better than Adebayour in most departments other than an ability to run around like a headless chicken. I also think that Le Gaffer should only play the above players for Premiership and Champions League games. For Carling and FA Cup please Wenger play ONLY second string squad (The humiliation at Tottenham was embarrasing) and bench-warming first teamers who need the games to get fit / maintain fitness.

For Carling and FA Cup please Wenger play ONLY second string squad (The humiliation at Tottenham was embarrasing) and bench-warming first teamers who need the games to get fit / maintain fitness.

What do fellow gooners think?
